Goldman Sachs reduced estimates on both Mattel (NYSE: MAT) and Hasbro (NYSE: HAS) Friday morning ahead of the companies' second-quarter results on Tuesday, July 17th and Monday, July 23rd, respectively. The firm cited "tepid domestic industry trends, a further slowdown in Europe (where MAT/HAS generate 20-30% of sales) and the negative impact of foreign exchange translation."

The firm's FY12 EPS estimate for Mattel was lowered from $2.45 to $2.32, the FY13 estimate was reduced from $2.68 to $2.53 and the FY14 estimate moved from $2.92 to $2.75. Goldman reduced its price target on Mattel shares from $35 to $34.

Goldman Sachs now sees Hasbro reporting FY12, FY13 and FY14 EPS of $2.78, $2.72 and $3.00, down from prior estimates of $3.00, $2.97 and $3.35, respectively. The firm's target goes from $36 to $34.

Goldman maintains Neutral ratings on both companies.
