Hasbro Shareholder Alert: Key Deadline Approaching for Investors
In recent news, Hasbro, Inc. has become the focal point of a securities class action lawsuit. ClaimsFiler, a free service designed to assist shareholders, is reminding investors who have sustained losses exceeding $100,000—particularly those who acquired Hasbro shares between February 7, 2022, and October 25, 2023—that they have until
January 13, 2025, to file applications as lead plaintiffs in the ongoing legal action.
The case is being heard in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, under the title
West Palm Beach Firefighters' Pension Fund v. Hasbro, Inc., et al., No. 24-cv-8633.
The Background of the Lawsuit
Hasbro and specific executives are alleged to have concealed critical information during the specified class period, resulting in a breach of federal securities laws. This situation escalated when, on October 26, 2023, pre-market, Hasbro released its third-quarter results, which revealed a staggering
18% year-over-year decline in Consumer Product revenues. The downturn was attributed to various factors, including exiting certain business lines, prevailing industry trends, and a strategic emphasis on inventory management within both owned and retail inventories.
They also adjusted their full-year guidance for consumer products, now predicting a revenue decrease of
13% to 15%, compared to an earlier forecast of a
3% to 6% decline. Following this announcement, Hasbro's stock took a significant hit, plummeting
$6.38 per share, or about
11.7%, dropping from
$54.75 on October 25, 2023, to
$48.37 the next day.
