Barclays on U.S. Leisure: Toys 2Q11 Earnings Preview

Barclays analyst said, "We expect both Hasbro (NYSE: HAS) and Mattel (NYSE: MAT) to report 2Q11 results in line with consensus as both companies benefited from the sell-in of entertainment-related toys, headlined by the late-June theatrical releases of Cars 2 (MAT) and Transformers 3 (HAS). The key for investors will be global sell through trends, which will have an impact on the
important holiday season."

"We performed channel checks last week at several Target (NYSE: TGT), Toys R Us, and Walmart stores (NYSE: WMT). Our conversations with the sales associates and managers confirmed that the properties with high expectations heading into the quarter (Cars 2, Transformers 3, Monster High, Beyblade) have been performing well."

"Mattel: Our 2Q11 EPS estimate for Mattel is $0.15 vs. $0.13 (excluding a $0.01 tax benefit) last year and consensus of $0.16..For Hasbro, we estimate 2Q11 EPS of $0.36 versus $0.29 last year and consensus of $0.39."
