Hasbro is a branded play company providing children and families around the world with entertainment offerings based on a world-class brand portfolio. From toys and games to television programming, motion pictures, and a licensing program, Hasbro reaches customers by leveraging its well-known brands such as Transformers, Nerf, and Magic: The Gathering. Ownership stakes in Discovery Family, which offers programming around Hasbro brands, and production capabilities has helped bolster Hasbro's multichannel presence. The firm acquired EOne in 2019, bolting on popular family properties like Peppa Pig and PJ Masks, and since has pruned noncore lines from the tie-up. Furthermore, the addition of Dungeons & Dragons Beyond in 2022, offers the firm access to 19 million digital tabletop players.

With Republicans taking control of Congress, Wall Street is buzzing about a potential boom in mergers and acquisitions (M&amp;A) under the upcoming<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/donald-trump"> Trump administration.</a>
Bank of America analysts see brighter days ahead for deal-making, anticipating that Trump could remove Federal Trade Commission Chair Lina Khan, whose aggressive antitrust stance has been a major roadblock for M&amp;A activity across sectors.
Combined with favorable macro factors and investor demand for capex and M&amp;A over debt paydown, there are plenty of reasons to believe that 2025 and beyond could see significant deal activity.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Banks And Biotech: Two Key Sectors To Watch</h3>
Analysts at Bank of America's U.S. banks team are particularly bullish about the M&amp;A prospects for financials, which have historically enjoyed more than 50% higher deal activity under Republican administrations than Democratic ones. With regulatory scrutiny expected to loosen, the landscape is ripe for a surge in bank deals.
Deal activity in biotech has already started picking up, especially in smaller acquisitions. Big Pharma faces mounting pressure to offset patent expirations, so it&#8217;s hunting for acquisition targets to replenish its drug pipelines. Lower rates and potential deregulation could further fuel biotech M&amp;A as we head into 2025.
"The election results could lead to a less restrictive regulatory environment, which may open the door for more bank mergers and acquisitions,&#8221; Jill Carey Hall, CFA, a Bank of America analyst, said. 
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Macro Factors: Green And Yellow Lights for M&amp;A</h3>
Several macroeconomic factors support a cyclical pick-up in M&amp;A activity. 
Strong equity market returns, cheap small-cap valuations relative to large caps and tight credit spreads all suggest a favorable environment for deal-making.
Not all signals are flashing green. Slowing GDP growth, rate uncertainty and high volatility could throw some caution flags. Long-term growth expectations for small caps, though improved, still remain below average.
Bank of America's credit strategists predict that 2025 could be a better year for M&amp;A activity as rate cuts begin to materialize and volatility subsides. 
"Sponsors are sitting on a pile of uncalled capital, and there's a real incentive to deploy it in a friendlier economic environment," Hall said.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Who Stands To Gain: Small-Cap Targets, Large-Cap Acquirers</h3>
With large deals on the decline, smaller targets have become the prime candidates for takeovers. 
Aggregate deal value has been falling in recent years as mega-cap deals have dried up and smaller, more manageable transactions have become the norm.
This trend has paid off for both sides: small-cap targets have outperformed post-announcement and large-cap acquirers have seen record one-day gains in 2023 despite paying higher deal premiums.
This pattern suggests that investors are rewarding companies that buy growth, especially in today's uncertain economic landscape.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">10 Potential M&amp;A Candidates Among Large Caps</h3>
Bank of America's latest screening of potential M&amp;A candidates includes high-growth, undervalued names, each with distinct value propositions that may appeal to suitors looking for long-term growth.

Top 4 Consumer Stocks That May Explode In November

Analysts rerated Hasbro, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HAS#NASDAQ">HAS</a>) after mixed quarterly print. On Thursday, the company reported a third-quarter sales decline of 15% to $1.281 billion, marginally missing the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41515616/monopoly-maker-hasbro-inventory-falls-39-in-q3-cfo-vows-to-finish-2024-with-improved-profitability" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">analyst estimate of $1.295 billion</a>.
JPMorgan analyst Christopher Horvers maintained an Overweight rating on Hasbro and lowered the price target to $79 from $82.
BofA Securities analyst Alexander Perry reiterated a Buy rating on Hasbro with a price target of $95. The stock is trading higher on Friday.

JPMorgan: Hasbro revised guidance, with the Consumer Products outlook lowered due to a weaker third quarter, especially in Star Wars and NERF, while raising the Wizards of the Coast (WOTC) outlook due to solid performance from MTG and Monopoly Go!
Despite this, Hasbro maintained its full-year EBITDA guidance, which the market views as conservative.
Revenue for Consumer Products fell by 10%, partly due to a 4% headwind from fewer closeout sales. While impacting the top line, this supported a 150 bp gross margin improvement. Management expects year-on-year declines to ease in the fourth quarter with accelerating point-of-sale trends bolstered by increased advertising and product innovation.
WOTC revenue surpassed expectations by 14% due to successful MTG releases and resilience in titles like Baldur&#8217;s Gate III. Although Monopoly Go! met guidance, its conservative outlook implies a 24% decline in WOTC revenue for the fourth quarter, partially impacted by shipment timing.
Hasbro&#8217;s gross margin reached 70.4%, driven by supply chain savings and closeout sales discipline. Management aims to continue realizing supply chain efficiencies while reducing closeouts to prioritize profitability.
Horvers&#8217; estimates for Hasbro remain ahead of consensus. He noted that market expectations for cost efficiency and digital gaming growth are too low. According to the analyst, both areas will likely gain momentum in the second half of 2024 and early 2025.
Horvers noted that the industry is primed for growth this year despite a shorter holiday season. Retailers like Target Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TGT#NYSE">TGT</a>) increasingly focus on event-driven traffic, with toys as a significant draw. The analyst said Hasbro is well-positioned for the second half of 2024, especially with the Transformers shift to the third quarter and merchandising improvements under new management.
Horvers said Hasbro&#8217;s $750 million cost reduction plan is expected to be fully implemented by late 2025. The Consumer Products segment should also benefit from planned innovation and the acceleration of MTG&#8217;s Universes Beyond strategy (including Final Fantasy and Marvel tie-ins), as per the analyst.
Horvers&#8217; December 2025 price target is $79, based on an ~11.5 times EV/EBITDA on 2026 estimates. Per Horvers, this target reflects potential margin expansion driven by Hasbro&#8217;s 2024 cost and product mix strategies, which could warrant a higher valuation if the momentum continues.
BofA Securities: The rating reflects Hasbro&#8217;s benefits from the shift to gaming and digital gaming alongside a turnaround in its Consumer Products segment.
Hasbro&#8217;s third-quarter adjusted EPS reached $1.73, surpassing the projected $1.27 due to stronger-than-expected operating margins in Consumer Products (15.1% vs. 10.0% expected) and Wizards of the Coast (44.9% vs. 42.0% expected). Wizards revenue aligned with forecasts with Monopoly Go! contributing $30 million, and Magic: The Gathering outperforming by 3% on unexpected boosts from Bloomburrow and Duskmourn releases.
Although Consumer Products revenue dropped 10% (compared to the anticipated 5%), operating profit exceeded estimates, benefiting from cost structure improvements that offset volume decreases.
Hasbro anticipates a 19% decline in Wizards of the Coast for the fourth quarter due to a projected $70 million drop in Magic: The Gathering, primarily impacted by a $40 million headwind from the prior year&#8217;s Lord of the Rings holiday release and a $30 million timing shift for a January 2025 Remastered set. Digital revenue should remain flat, with contributions from Monopoly Go! expected to balance out Baldur&#8217;s Gate 3. Wizards&#8217; operating margin is projected at 22%, reflecting volume-related headwinds. The adjusted EPS estimate for fiscal 2024 increases to $4.00, up from $3.88, due to the strong third-quarter performance.
Hasbro forecasts a 3% decline in Consumer Products revenue for the fourth quarter, revising its guidance by $100 million. Factors include a $50 million reduction from fewer low-margin closeouts, a $35 million drop from lower entertainment-backed brands, especially Star Wars, and a $15 million impact from execution challenges in leaner inventory management. A sequential decline to a 7% CP operating margin is expected in the fourth quarter, reflecting higher royalties, such as from Beyblade, and increased managed expenses.
The outlook for 2025 appears strong, with projected growth from Magic: The Gathering driven by three new Universes Beyond sets, including a $30 million benefit from timing shifts in the first quarter, a robust theatrical lineup, highlighted by Captain America (February 14) and Fantastic Four (July 25), anticipated first-quarter gains from a full quarter of Monopoly Go! beyond minimum guarantees, with a $10 million monthly run rate and potential double-digit EBIT margin growth in Consumer Products if volume increases continue.
Price Action: HAS stock is up 1.24% at $66.92 at the last check Friday.

Their work involves attending company conference calls and meetings, researching company financial statements, and communicating with insiders to publish "analyst ratings" for stocks. Analysts typically assess and rate each stock once per quarter.
Analysts may supplement their ratings with predictions for metrics like growth estimates, earnings, and revenue, offering investors a more comprehensive outlook. However, investors should be mindful that analysts, like any human, can have subjective perspectives influencing their forecasts.

Amazon's ability to meet demand for everything from household goods to electronics may suffer, while Apple risks product shortages on key items like the iPhone 15, iPhone 16 and MacBooks, all critical to its revenue in the fourth quarter.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Automotive Sector May Feel The Pinch</h2>
Tesla could also face a significant blow as it sources essential components globally. The Ports of New York/New Jersey are critical for Tesla's supply chain, and any prolonged shutdowns could delay deliveries and increase manufacturing costs. Other automakers, like Ford Motor Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>) and General Motors (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>), could also struggle with supply bottlenecks for parts, further squeezing a sector already battling rising costs.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Inflation Pressures Could Rise</h2>
The Toy Association has expressed concerns that 60% of toy sales occur in the fourth quarter, and major toy companies like Mattel Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MAT#NASDAQ">MAT</a>) and Hasbro Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HAS#NASDAQ">HAS</a>) could face inventory shortages, driving up prices.
Agriculture and food companies reliant on East Coast ports, such as Tyson Foods Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSN#NYSE">TSN</a>), may also face delays in getting goods to market, worsening consumer inflation.
Business leaders and investors are watching closely, as a prolonged strike could have far-reaching consequences on multiple sectors, potentially pushing inflation higher and slowing economic growth.
