Hasbro stock surged 11.2% after reporting strong Q3 fiscal 2026 earnings with 15% revenue growth to $1.6 billion, driven by a 34% surge in Magic: The Gathering sales which exceeded $600 million quarterly revenue for the first time. The company's adjusted operating profit jumped 52% to $541 million, and adjusted EPS soared 73% to $2.90. Hasbro is doubling its stock buyback program from $200 million to $400 million and projects full-year revenue growth of 7-9% with operating margins of 27-28%.

Hasbro raised its full-year outlook after Q3 2026 revenue grew 15% year-over-year, driven by Magic: The Gathering's 34% revenue growth through IP collaborations and expanded retail distribution, high-margin licensing businesses generating ~$700M annually, and cost discipline improving toy segment profitability. The company expects digital gaming spending to peak in 2026 with margins expanding thereafter.

Hasbro reported Q3 2026 earnings of $2.90 per share, significantly beating the consensus estimate of $1.86 and surpassing revenue expectations. However, despite the strong beat and 20.1% year-to-date stock performance, the company received a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell) rating due to unfavorable earnings estimate revision trends. The Toys-Games-Hobbies industry ranks in the bottom 20% of Zacks industries, which may negatively impact future stock performance.

Hasbro is set to report Q3 2026 results on October 20, with consensus estimates expecting EPS of $1.88 (up 11.9% YoY) and revenues of $1.47 billion (up 6.2% YoY). While the company is expected to benefit from Magic: The Gathering demand, new product releases, and Consumer Products growth, Zacks' model does not predict an earnings beat. The company carries a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell) rating with 0.00% Earnings ESP, suggesting limited upside potential despite operational strengths.
