Monopoly maker Hasbro Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HAS#NASDAQ">HAS</a>) announced that it has cut 3% of jobs amid higher tariffs on imports from China. Here&#8217;s a list of five other publicly traded companies that have either reduced their workforce or intend to do so due to the impact of tariffs.
What Happened: After announcing 900 job cuts in December 2023, the Hasbro management told Reuters that it laid off 150 employees or 3% of its workforce in its latest cost-cutting effort on June 18, 2025.
According to its fiscal 2024 annual filing, the company had roughly 4,985 employees globally. The company CEO, Chris Cocks had hinted the same during the first quarter earnings call stating that &#8220;Ultimately, tariffs translate into higher consumer prices, potential job losses as we adjust to absorb increased costs, and reduced profits for our shareholders.&#8221;
He had also said during the same call that the expanded rate on imports from China &#8220;is creating volatility and introducing a range of scenarios for how the year could unfold.&#8221;
Apart from Hasbro, other firms that have reduced their workforce due to tariffs include;
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Stellantis NV (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STLA#NYSE">STLA</a>): The automaker announced temporary layoffs of 900 workers across five U.S. facilities due to production pauses at its Canadian and Mexican plants, directly linked to tariffs announced in April 2025.</li>
</ul>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Cleveland-Cliffs Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CLF#NYSE">CLF</a>): The steelmaker laid off 1,230 workers, with 600 job cuts at its Dearborn, Michigan, plant and 630 at two iron ore mines in Minnesota, citing falling automotive demand due to tariffs on steel and auto imports.</li>
</ul>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>United Parcel Service Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UPS#NYSE">UPS</a>): UPS announced expected layoffs of approximately 20,000 workers in 2025, citing "current macro-economic uncertainty" and reduced shipping volumes due to tariffs.</li>
</ul>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Volvo ADR (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VLVL#OTC">VLVL</a>): The company plans to lay off 550–800 workers at three U.S. facilities over three months, citing market uncertainty and reduced demand due to tariffs.</li>
</ul>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Deere &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DE#NYSE">DE</a>): The tractor manufacturer laid off 9 workers at its Ankeny, Iowa, facility, as per a Nation of Change <a href="https://www.nationofchange.org/2025/04/07/over-4000-factory-workers-laid-off-as-trump-tariffs-spark-economic-chaos/">report</a>. The company expressed concerns about the impact of tariffs on production costs.</li>

Why It Matters: President Donald Trump&#8216;s reciprocal tariffs are on pause till July 9 while the administration is trying to strike deals with its trading partners.
Trump declared a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/06/45882971/wall-street-eyes-record-highs-as-trump-seals-china-deal-soft-inflation-eases-tariff-jitters">sweeping new trade agreement</a> with China via Truth Social following two days of negotiations in London last week, suggesting major concessions from Beijing and lighter U.S. obligations. 
"Full magnets, and any necessary rare earths, will be supplied, up front, by China," Trump said, adding that the U.S. would reciprocate by allowing Chinese students access to U.S. colleges.
The deal includes a significant tariff shift. The U.S. will continue applying tariffs totaling 55% on selected Chinese imports, while China will impose a 10% tariff rate on U.S. goods.
Price Action: The SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) and Invesco QQQ Trust ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>), which track the S&amp;P 500 index and Nasdaq 100 index, respectively, fell on Tuesday.

Trump's Tariffs Trigger Layoffs: Monopoly Maker Hasbro Slashes Jobs — These Companies Are Cutting Too

Toy company Hasbro Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HAS#NASDAQ">HAS</a>) announced a workforce reduction on Tuesday as the company grapples <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/04/44610504/tariff-risk-increases-analyst-warns-of-additional-impact-on-hasbro-funko-mattel-elf-beauty-not-reflected-in-estimates">with tariff impacts</a>.
What To Know: Hasbro cut 3% of its global workforce, or approximately 150 employees, across multiple divisions and regions around the globe, The Wall Street Journal <a href="https://www.wsj.com/business/retail/hasbro-trims-3-of-workforce-in-cost-cutting-push-2ac88b24?gaa_at=eafs&amp;gaa_n=ASWzDAig_M9vSK8jZdYBHTVKpZz1jUQoLKh14hsnn7r0_lueBpaqGK8sni8AIT03LW0%3D&amp;gaa_ts=6851e034&amp;gaa_sig=xIReA5JEeIJ9fqGjR_x9xAqeFRHCUgqiw86eANx1IBhhRySdHe8VRCj-x93pl2-DoiZBJqVtli0wjW6JYPKlsw%3D%3D">reported</a> Tuesday.
The job cuts come as the company aims to align its structure with its longer-term goals, according to a Hasbro spokesperson.
Hasbro laid off around 1,900 employees in 2023. The continued cuts are part of a longer-term restructuring in which the company is targeting around $1 billion in total cost reductions.
The company reported no material impact from tariffs in the first quarter, but Hasbro CEO Chris Cocks said in April that tariffs ultimately translate to higher prices for consumers and potential job losses.
&#8220;As we progress toward our&nbsp;$1 billion&nbsp;cost savings goal, the strength of Wizards, licensing, and our asset-light model continues to offset tariff pressures and support margins,&#8221; the company said when it reported first-quarter results.
Hasbro sources about half of its toy and game products from China. Total sales were up 17% year-over-year in the first quarter.
HAS Price Action: <a href="http://benzinga.com/quote/HAS">Hasbro shares</a> closed Tuesday down 3.25% at $67.50, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.

Shelter remained a major contributor to inflation, rising 0.3% in April and accounting for over half of the monthly increase in the overall Consumer Price Index. Meanwhile, several categories posted price declines, including airline fares, used cars and trucks, communication services, and apparel.
JP Morgan writes, &#8220;Despite an overall cooler-than-expected report, the April CPI likely shows modest tariff pass-through with several hardlines retailers taking price ahead of costs.&#8221;
On a quarterly basis, the most significant price drops compared to the fourth quarter were seen in TVs, sporting goods, auto parts (which moved from rising to falling prices), and motor oil/coolant/fluids (where prices are still rising but at a slower rate).
Meanwhile, prices went up or dropped less sharply in categories like building products, which shifted to rising prices, toys/games/hobbies/playground equipment, helped by price increases noted by companies like Hasbro Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HAS#NASDAQ">HAS</a>) and Mattel Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MAT#NASDAQ">MAT</a>), pet food (smaller price declines), and home furnishings (prices increased).
Inflation for food at home dropped by 0.4 percentage points from last month, now sitting just above 2% year-over-year.
Grocery prices rose by about 0.4 percentage points during the recent retail quarter, and analyst Christopher Horvers expects more price increases in the second quarter.
Pet food prices increased slightly, rising 0.3 percentage points from the previous month, though they&#8217;re still down 0.6% compared to last year.
Looking at two-year trends, food-at-home inflation dipped about 0.2 percentage points, while pet food prices fell by roughly 0.8 percentage points.

Shares of companies within the broader consumer discretionary sector are trading higher after the US and China agreed to a temporary reduction in most tariffs on each other's goods. This could alleviate supply chain uncertainty in the sector.

Toy company Mattel Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MAT#NASDAQ">MAT</a>) beat analyst estimates for<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45209947/mattel-beats-q1-estimates-pauses-guidance-due-to-tariffs-plans-actions-to-mitigate-cost-impacts"> first-quarter revenue</a> and earnings per share Monday.
Attention now turns to the impact of President Donald Trump&#8217;s tariffs, with the company ready to raise prices ahead of Christmas.
What Happened: Mattel posted first-quarter revenue of $827 million, beating an analyst estimate of $786 million. The company reported a loss of 3 cents per share, beating an estimate of 10 cents per share, according to data from Benzinga Pro.
Mattel CEO Ynon Kreiz called the quarter "strong" and said the company continued its "operational excellence."
"Our brands are thriving, our products and experiences stand out in the marketplace, and our balance sheet gives us resilience and flexibility to execute our strategy," Kreiz said.
The company said it will take action to offset incremental costs from tariffs, including diversifying its supply chain, improving product sourcing, and raising prices when necessary.
Mattel also paused full-year 2025 guidance given the "volatile macro-economic environment and evolving U.S. tariff landscape."
Raised prices by the owner of Barbie could prove a test of whether parents will be willing to spend more on toys for Christmas or cut back on the number of toys given higher prices,<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/25/05/45144516/trump-a-grinch-or-santa-for-christmas-children-will-have-two-dolls-instead-of-30-dolls"> something President Trump illustrated</a> in an example answering a reporter's question.
Trump said China has made over a trillion dollars selling the United States things it doesn&#8217;t need. The president brushed aside concerns about store shelves being empty, including those selling toys.
&#8220;Well, maybe the children will have two dolls instead of 30 dolls,&#8221; Trump&nbsp;<a href="https://x.com/atrupar/status/1917634685745668399" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">said</a>. &#8220;And maybe the two dolls will cost a couple of bucks more than they would normally.&#8221;
Trump said ships from China are &#8220;loaded with stuff we don&#8217;t need.&#8221;
The president's latest comments underscore his administration's stance that more items should be manufactured in the U.S., even if they cost consumers more.
In an interview with <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/05/06/mattel-ceo-toy-manufacturing-trump-tariffs.html?taid=681a117181b2ac000143d7fb&amp;utm_campaign=trueanthem&amp;utm_content=main&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_source=twitter">CNBC</a>, Kreiz downplayed the notion of Mattel bringing manufacturing to America, a goal of Trump's with tariffs. "We don't see that happening," he said.
Kreiz noted that portions of the toymaking process, such as design, development, product engineering and brand management, occur in America.
Mattel has been working on diversifying its global manufacturing for nearly 10 years to lower its dependence on China. Kreiz said in two years, no country will handle 25% or more of the company's sourcing, including China, which will represent around 540% at the end of 2025.
While Mattel aims to keep many of its prices under $20, the company will raise prices on many items to offset the rising prices.
"To continue to create a quality product and find the balance of price and value all in the service of the consumer," Kreiz added.
With the price increases, time will tell if Trump was right about Americans being willing to pay a few dollars more.

Why It's Important: Toy companies like Mattel and Hasbro Inc. (NASDAQ: HAS) face tough times ahead of the Christmas shopping season.
As Benzinga previously reported, China produces around 80% of all toys, and many holiday season toys take four to five months to manufacture, package, and ship to the United States, all steps that have been mostly put on pause in the region.
Trump's comment about children only needing two dolls went viral online. White House senior advisor Stephen Miller <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45184813/stephen-miller-says-americans-will-pay-more-for-better-made-toys-amid-trump-tariff-fallout-as-indust" target="_blank" rel="noopener">also told the media</a> that Americans will be willing to pay more for toys made in America, citing safety and quality concerns about toys made in China.
Talk show host Jon Stewart poked fun at Trump's toy comments during a recent episode of "The Daily Show," as reported by <a href="https://variety.com/2025/tv/news/jon-stewar-donald-trump-pencils-dolls-the-daily-show-1236388062/">Variety</a>.
"I have a niece. 11 years old. Loves dolls. I was going to get her 20 or 30 of them for her birthday, just to see the joy of a child. You can't put a price tag on that," Stewart said.
Stewart then played the clip of Trump saying kids needed fewer dolls.
"It's just not that many dolls," Stewart added. "Sure, she can have a small tea party with her dolls. But her dream had been a quasi-realistic ‘Conclave' reenactment with dolls. That's what she wanted!"
MAT Price Action: Mattel stock was up 1.4% to $16.43 on Tuesday, compared to a 52-week trading range of $13.95 to $22.07. However, it is down 7.4% year-to-date in 2025.

Trump's Tariffs Hit Mattel's Barbies: Will Americans Pay 'A Couple Of Bucks More' As President Predicts?

Parents and grandparents looking to fill Christmas stockings this year might find themselves facing a frustrating surprise: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/45017240/covid-like-shortages-empty-shelves-expected-thanks-to-trump-tariffs-experts-say">empty toy shelves</a>. Thanks to a trade war sparked by steep import tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump, the usual holiday toy hunt could turn into a scramble
Trump, also a grandparent, suggested kids will probably just do fine with fewer toys.
What Happened: The president&#8217;s response to a recent question from a journalist about <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/02/43442219/why-beer-tequila-avocados-cars-iphone-prices-could-rise-trumps-tariffs-on-canada-mexico-china-to-hurt-several-sectors">U.S. tariffs on China </a>could provide an early warning of what Christmas could look like if things don't change.
Trump said China has made over a trillion dollars selling the United States things they don't need. The president brushed aside concerns about shelves being empty in stores, including those selling toys.
"Well, maybe the children will have two dolls instead of 30 dolls," Trump <a href="https://x.com/atrupar/status/1917634685745668399">said</a>. "And maybe the two dolls will cost a couple of bucks more than they would normally."
Trump said ships from China are "loaded with stuff we don't need."
The president&#8217;s latest comments underscore his administration&#8217;s stance that more items should be manufactured in the United States, even if they cost consumers more.
Major toy companies could suffer this Christmas with less product on the shelves and potentially higher prices for consumers to offset tariffs.
Public toy companies include Mattel Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MAT#NASDAQ">MAT</a>), Hasbro Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HAS#NASDAQ">HAS</a>) and Jakks Pacific (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JAKK#NASDAQ">JAKK</a>). Trump's comments about dolls could apply to several companies including Mattel, owner of the Barbie brand.

Why It's Important: A New York Times <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/29/business/trump-tariffs-christmas-china.html">report </a>said toy makers and toy stores are pausing orders for the year-end holiday season, with tariff concerns now taking center stage.
China produces around 80% of all toys and 90% of all Christmas goods sold in America, according to the report. With tariffs of up to 145% currently in place on China, companies are not ready to pay these higher prices now, which could put the Christmas season in jeopardy.
Items like Christmas trees, Christmas decorations and toys take four to five months to manufacture, package and ship to the United States, all steps that have been put mostly on pause in the region.
"We have a frozen supply chain that is putting Christmas at risk," Toy Association CEO Greg Ahearn said. "If we don't start production soon, there's a high probability of a toy shortage this holiday season."
Ahearn said he has pushed the White House administration for a 24-month reprieve that could give toy companies more opportunities to find ways to manufacture their products in the United States.
Barring any changes to the tariffs on China and the pause to the toy sector and Christmas decorations sector, Christmas could look significantly different for many Americans this year.
There could be fewer presents under the tree, and those will all likely cost more.
Toy companies could begin cutting guidance or sounding cautious on upcoming earnings reports, which is an item that will be closely monitored by analysts and investors.

The company reported a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/04/b44974364/hasbro-reports-first-quarter-2025-financial-results" rel="noreferrer noopener">first-quarter revenue</a> jump of 17.14% year-on-year to $887.10 million, beating the analyst consensus estimate of $771.15 million.
Adjusted EPS of $1.04 <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">beat the consensus</a> estimate of $0.67.

Selling, distribution, and administration costs climbed 14.8%. The operating margin expanded 390 basis points to 19.2%, and operating income for the quarter surged 46.9% to $170.7 million.

In the first quarter, Hasbro paid $98 million in cash dividends to shareholders. The Board of Directors has declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.70 per common share, payable on June 4, 2025, to shareholders of record at the close of business on May 21, 2025.
As of March end, the company held $621.1 million in cash and equivalents. Operating cash flow for the quarter totaled $138 million. Hasbro-owned inventory was down 12% compared to the prior year.
&#8220;We delivered strong revenue growth and a meaningful profit lift in Q1, driven by a strategic shift toward higher-margin businesses. As we progress toward our $1 billion cost savings goal, the strength of Wizards, licensing, and our asset-light model continues to offset tariff pressures and support margins,&#8221; said Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer Gina Goetter.
Hasbro said it has renewed its <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/04/b44974358/hasbro-extends-long-running-strategic-relationship-with-disney-consumer-products-for-premier-star-" rel="noreferrer noopener">multi-year licensing partnership </a>with Disney Consumer Products. The extended agreement ensures Hasbro will keep producing creative toys and games tied to franchises like Star Wars and Marvel.
Outlook: Hasbro sees FY25 revenue <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43847506/toy-maker-hasbros-q4-beat-estimates-as-demand-for-games-remains-strong" rel="noreferrer noopener">up slightly in constant currency</a>. The company expects FY25 adjusted EBITDA of $1.1 billion – $1.15 billion and an adjusted&nbsp;operating margin of 21% – 22%.
Price Action: HAS shares traded higher by 7.74% at $56.77 in premarket at last check Thursday.
