Mattel Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MAT#NYSE">MAT</a>) can add an unfortunate website error on the boxes of its "Wicked" dolls to the list of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/toys">recent negative news</a>. 
What Happened: In addition to the toy company <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41737933/trump-tariff-proposed-may-cost-americans-78b-in-spending-study">worrying about higher tariffs </a>under President-elect Donald Trump and a<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41502607/mattel-reports-mixed-q3-results-eps-beat-revenue-miss"> third-quarter revenue miss</a>, its packages of &#8220;Wicked&#8221; dolls have to be recalled.
Mattel recently released "Wicked" dolls resembling the characters played by Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande in the upcoming film, which is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/07/39621420/wicked-gladiator-2-same-day-release-has-industry-vying-for-another-box-office-power-duo-bar">set for a Nov. 22 release.</a>
Due to an unfortunate error, the boxes of these dolls featured the wrong website. Following the link would send people to an adult entertainment website instead of the appropriate website for the "Wicked" movie, as reported by <a href="https://deadline.com/2024/11/mattel-wicked-movie-dolls-porn-site-error-1236172179/">Deadline</a>.
"Mattel was made aware of a misprint on the packaging of the Mattel Wicked collection dolls, primarily sold in the U.S., which intended to direct consumers to the official WickedMovie.com landing page," Mattel said in a statement shared by Deadline. "We deeply regret this unfortunate error and are taking immediate action to remedy this."
Mattel said parents who bought the dolls should "discard the product packaging or obscure the link." Parents are told they should contact Mattel Customer for more information.
Users on social media pointed out the error, which linked to the movie website associated with Wicked Pictures, an adult film company founded in 1993. Wicked coincidentally became one of the storylines in Donald Trump's hush money trial. The company hosted a celebrity golf tournament where Trump previously met adult actress Stormy Daniels.
While Mattel is likely to send out new versions of the dolls with the corrected website, boxes that have not been discarded have already found their way onto auction site eBay.

Why It Matters: For Mattel, the timing could be bad for the negative news surrounding the company's dolls which are aimed at children and had the rather unfortunate error.
Toy companies could suffer<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41737933/trump-tariff-proposed-may-cost-americans-78b-in-spending-study"> from higher tariffs</a> with Trump taking over the White House in 2025. The big question will be if Mattel passes the higher costs onto consumers or takes a hit on margins.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/10/41606114/10-s-p-500-stocks-were-worst-performers-in-first-year-of-trumps-presidency-will-they-sink-again">Benzinga recently shared</a> that Mattel was one of the worst-performing S&amp;P 500 stocks during Trump's first year in office back in 2017. The stock was down 44% on the year.
Mattel's recently reported third quarter saw the company miss revenue estimates from analysts while beating earnings per share. Analysts cut price targets after the report.
While Mattel could suffer a negative fate from "Wicked," movie studio Universal Pictures hoping for a brighter future.
"Wicked" releases in theaters on Nov. 22 and has seen strong pre-sale ticket sales and has high expectations. An <a href="https://www.boxofficepro.com/long-range-forecast-universal-promises-a-wicked-thanksgiving-box-office/">estimate </a>from Boxoffice Pro says the movie could open to $100 million to $125 million domestically. This would be one of the higher opening weekend for the year.
The upcoming film is the first of two parts to the "Wicked" story.
Universal&#8217;s parent company, Comcast Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMCSA#NASDAQ">CMCSA</a>), currently has three of the top 10 grossing movies <a href="https://www.boxofficemojo.com/year/2024/?ref_=bo_yl_table_1">domestically </a>in 2024. They include "Despicable Me 4," "Twisters" and "Kung Fu Panda 4" ranking third, sixth and eighth respectively. A strong open from "Wicked" could give the studio another top 10 hit for the year.
Price Action: Mattel stock trades at $19.63 versus a 52-week trading range of $15.87 to $20.60. Mattel stock is up 4.6% year-to-date in 2024.
Comcast stock trades at $44.24 versus a 52-week trading range of $36.43 to $47.11. Comcast stock is up 1.3% year-to-date in 2024. &nbsp;

'Wicked' Mistake For Toy Company Mattel: Why Parents Will Want To Check These Movie Dolls Before Buying

Mattel's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MAT#NYSE">MAT</a>) short percent of float has risen 7.18% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 12.27 million shares sold short, which is 5.67% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 7.06 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Mattel Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1730909731_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Mattel has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Mattel's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Mattel's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 7.38%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze/">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

(MAT) - Analyzing Mattel's Short Interest

Former President Donald Trump's four years in the White House offer insights into which stocks and sectors might benefit or suffer if he secures a second term <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/2024-election">in the 2024 election.</a>
Here's a look back at the worst-performing stocks in 2017, Trump's first year in the White House.
Worst Performing 2017 Stocks: The stock markets saw <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/futures/18/01/11066769/the-stock-markets-rally-under-trump-among-the-best-ever-heres-how-his">impressive gains in 2017</a>, which were among the best ever for a president's first year in the White House.
The S&amp;P 500, tracked by the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>), gained 21.7% in 2017, an impressive gain compared to the 12.0% increase in 2016. Presidential election years have historically outperformed other years.
While many stocks in the S&amp;P 500 were up in 2017, there were also plenty of names that finished the year in the red. Here's a look back at the 10 worst-performing stocks in the S&amp;P 500 from 2017, as reported previously by Marketwatch.
<ol>
<li>Baker Hughes (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BKR#NASDAQ">BKR</a>): -51%, energy</li>
<li>Range Resources (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RRC#NYSE">RRC</a>): -50%, energy</li>
<li>Under Armour (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UA#NYSE">UA</a>)(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAA#NYSE">UAA</a>): -50%, consumer discretionary</li>
<li>Scana Corp: -46%, utilities</li>
<li>Envision Healthcare Corp: -45%, health care</li>
<li>General Electric (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GE#NYSE">GE</a>): -45%, industrials</li>
<li>Mattel Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MAT#NASDAQ">MAT</a>): -44%, consumer discretionary</li>
<li>Chesapeake Energy Corp (NASDSAQ:EXE): -44%, energy</li>
<li>Advance Auto Parts (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAP#NYSE">AAP</a>): -41%, consumer discretionary</li>
<li>Signet Jewelers (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SIG#NYSE">SIG</a>): -40%, consumer discretionary</li>
</ol>
It's important to note that some of the companies have undergone some changes since this old list. 
<ul>
<li>Baker Hughes previously traded as BHGE and was merged with the oil and gas division of General Electric. </li>
<li>Scana Corp was acquired by Dominion Energy (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/D#NYSE">D</a>) in 2019. </li>
<li>Envision Healthcare underwent Chapter 11 bankruptcy and now is two separate privately owned companies. </li>
<li>Chesapeake Energy changed its name to Expand Energy after merging with Southwestern Energy. The company also underwent bankruptcy protection in 2020, emerging successfully from the protection in 2021.</li>
</ul>

</ul>
Why It's Important: The list of the top 10 worst performers in 2017 overlaps with the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/10/41584466/these-10-stocks-were-the-best-s-p-500-performers-in-2017-when-trump-was-president-will-history-r">best performing stocks </a>that Benzinga recently shared.
Stocks in utilities, health care, industrials, and consumer discretionary appeared on both the best and worst performer lists. Top-performing stocks included technology and homebuilders, with no overlap among the worst performers.
Energy is likely a potential big loser based on the trends above if Trump wins the 2024 election. What likely happened in 2017 that could happen again is a run-up in stocks during the election year and then a potential selloff in the year after as investors take profits.
While some believe that energy stocks could be winners under Trump, past results could suggest otherwise. A president who supports more drilling and has different foreign policies could also impact the price of oil barrels and lower energy companies&#8217; profits.
With less than two weeks until the 2024 election, investors are likely positioning their portfolio based on a Trump or Kamala Harris victory in some regards. With a close election predicted, investors may want to look to sectors that could benefit under either candidate.
Freedom Capital Markets Chief Global Strategist Jay Woods previously<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/sector-etfs/24/08/40515453/exclusive-trump-or-harris-12-stocks-2-etfs-could-win-no-matter-whos-president-says-market-strate"> shared some sectors </a>and stocks to watch with Benzinga that could benefit regardless of whether Trump or Harris wins the 2024 election.
Woods named defense stocks and cybersecurity stocks as two of the top sectors to watch ahead of the 2024 election.
"I think you've got to watch this sector closely," Woods said of the defense sector.
Woods said defense stocks could continue to benefit from geopolitical concerns and the world&#8217;s many negative events.

10 S&P 500 Stocks Were Worst Performers In First Year Of Trump's Presidency: Will They Sink Again?

Mattel, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MAT#NASDAQ">MAT</a>) shares are trading higher on Thursday. Analysts adjusted the company&#8217;s price target following&nbsp;the third-quarter<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/MAT/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener"> results reported on Wednesday</a>.
Mattel reported EPS of $1.09 per share, which beat the analyst consensus estimate of 95 cents. Quarterly revenue came in at $1.843 billion, which missed the analyst<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41502607/mattel-reports-mixed-q3-results-eps-beat-revenue-miss" rel="noreferrer noopener"> consensus estimate of $1.858 billion</a>.
Mattel revised FY24 net sales guidance to comparable-slightly down in constant currency while maintaining adjusted EPS outlook at $1.35 <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance" rel="noreferrer noopener">and $1.45 versus the $1.44 estimate</a>.
Morgan Stanley analyst Megan C Alexander increased the price target to $22 from $21 and reiterated the Equal-weight rating.
The analyst writes that strong third-quarter results were slightly overshadowed by fourth-quarter EPS guidance, which is implied to be well below expectations.
While this could be a conservative estimate, it&#8217;s too soon to assess, especially with critical selling weeks approaching amid a shorter holiday season, an impending election, and ongoing consumer uncertainty, adds the analyst.
The analyst says that while they still anticipate demand drivers to strengthen in 2025, particularly with potential tent-pole movie releases, it&#8217;s too early to make a decisive call, especially in an election year where tariff risks loom.
Consequently, for the fourth quarter, Alexander now projects sales of $1.642 billion (down from $1.677 billion) and EPS of $0.18 (previously $0.41).
For FY24, sales forecast slightly decreases to $5.374 billion (from $5.390 billion) and EPS slightly declines to $1.44 (from $1.45), adds the analyst. For FY25, the analyst estimate sales of $5.498 billion (down from $5.514 billion) and EPS at $1.47 (down from $1.53).
Goldman Sachs analyst Stephen Laszczyk lowered the price target to $22 (versus $23 prior) and maintained the Buy rating.
The analyst modestly lowered 2024+ revenue outlook due to the third-quarter miss, reduced revenue guidance, and limited visibility into long-term growth.
However, Laszczyk largely maintained the adjusted EPS estimates, reflecting third-quarter outperformance and continued cost efficiencies.
The analyst also slightly reduced the share repurchase outlook given the slower pace in the third quarter.
D A Davidson analyst Linda Bolton Weiser says that the sales guidance seems ambitious, but the upper end of the EPS range at $1.45 appears achievable.
Notably, the analyst reduced the 2025 EPS estimate by $0.06 to $1.52 and adjusted sales estimate to -4.9% Y/Y (from -0.4%) for fourth-quarter and -2.5% Y/Y (from -0.1%) for 2024.
EPS guidance remains at $1.35-$1.45, now with a tax rate of 21%-22%, noted the analyst. The analyst maintained the price target at $27 with a Buy rating.
Stifel analyst Drew E. Crum reaffirmed the Buy rating and the price target of $23. The analyst writes that key financial metrics were mixed compared to Street estimates, influenced by year-ago results from the Barbie movie.
A weaker top line was more than offset by significant improvement in adjusted gross margins, driving earnings growth, adds the analyst.
Crum forecasts FY24 adjusted EPS of $1.44, slightly higher than previous estimate of $1.41 and net revenue of $5.382 billion (-1% y/y; down from $5.420 billion prior view).
For 2025, the analyst estimate adjusted EPS of $1.61 (+12%; vs. $1.55 previously) and revenue of $5.590 billion (+4%; vs. $5.634 billion prior).
Price Action: MAT shares are up 3.69% at $18.44 at the last check Thursday.

</div>
<h3>Factors&nbsp;To Note</h3>
Mattel&#39;s third-quarter 2024 results are likely to be negatively impacted by soft sales in North America. The dismal performance of Infant, Toddler, Preschool, Dolls and Vehicle products is likely to have hurt North America&#39; sales. The company is facing a challenging macroeconomic environment. 
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Worldwide gross billings by the top three Power Brands, Barbie, Fisher-Price and Hot Wheels is pegged at $524 million, $307 million and $455, respectively, down 13.4% and 3.2% and flat year over year. 
On the other hand, the company&#39;s bottom line is likely to have been hurt by higher input cost inflation, unfavorable fixed cost absorption and other supply-chain costs. Also, higher severance and restructuring expenses, incentive compensation and pay increases are likely to have negatively impacted the bottom line. However, its ongoing cost-saving program is expected to have partially offset the adverse effects of these headwinds. This includes simplifying its organizational structure and optimizing processes and supply chain to generate savings across operations. 
Contributions from the IP-driven toy business, innovations across the toy portfolio and the expansion of entertainment offerings bode well. This and the focus on demand creation (in collaboration with retail partners) and licensing partnerships are likely to have aided the company&#39;s performance in the to-be-reported quarter.
