Notably, investors need to act quickly, with a deadline set for January 13, 2024, to request appointment as Lead Plaintiff. Detailed information about the complaint can be accessed through Pomerantz's website. Meanwhile, shareholders must provide relevant details such as their contact information and the number of shares purchased to ensure their concerns are documented.
In a recent disclosure on January 26, 2023, Hasbro announced disappointing fourth-quarter results for the fiscal year 2022. Despite prior claims of a strong holiday sales period, the company revealed a significant revenue drop of 17% compared to the previous year. In an effort to stabilize the situation, Hasbro revealed plans to eliminate 15% of its global workforce and disclosed unexpected executive changes, including the immediate departure of Chief Operating Officer, Eric Nyman.
The stock market reacted negatively to this news, with Hasbro's stock plummeting by $5.17 per share, or 8.1%, concluding trading on January 27, 2023, at $58.61.
Further complicating matters, Hasbro's third-quarter financial results for the fiscal year 2023, released on October 26, 2023, showcased a further reduction in consumer product revenues, down by 18% year-over-year. This alarming trend prompted a drastic cut in the company's financial guidance for the remaining months of the fiscal year. CFO Gina Goetter disclosed that the firm expected around $50 million in one-time costs associated with inventory clearance and marketing efforts.
In response, Hasbro's stock faced another decline, dropping $6.38 per share, or 11.7%, to $48.37 by the end of the trading day following the announcement.
