What the filing says
Mattel reported Q2 2026 net sales of $1,125M (+10% reported, +9% constant currency) vs. $1,019M prior year. However, gross margin fell 270 bps to 48.2% due to tariffs, inflation, and higher royalties. Operating income plummeted 86% to $11M; adjusted operating income fell 60% to $39M. Net loss of $18M vs. prior-year income of $53M; diluted EPS of -$0.06 vs. +$0.16. The company completed acquisition of Mattel163 mobile games studio and maintains full-year 2026 guidance (net sales +3–6% constant currency, adjusted EPS $1.27–$1.39 vs. 2025 actual $1.49). Repurchased $100M shares in Q2, $300M YTD (on track for $400M annual target).
Why this rating
Margin compression (-270 bps) and 86% operating income decline are material and signal headwind persistence. However, modest EPS miss vs. guidance, maintained FY guidance, and modest relative size ($1.1B revenue in $6.3B market cap = 18%) limit trajectory damage.
