Investerfag from few previous threads here
You guys want a live thread monday while i sit in in the call?

just so you guys know, these calls usually will not give any news thatsshow related, its all about earnings, profits, future wave updates, projections and speculation on future earnings. But you never know...

>>29406697
Nah. Maybe if they say something about toy lines.

>>29406695
Yee

>>29406667

Any chance of hearing about S7?

>A strong dollar combined with a lack of consumer confidence means sales will probably be poor overall.
Of course. Because there's no possible way that poor sales could be due to the show's quality.

No chance at all.

has hasbro told anything about politics like Starbucks did?
becuase if they are so jewish,at least they have a bit of common sense shutting up about politics and just limiting themselves on selling stuff

I havent read anything yet surprisingly

t. animated specials

>>29407632

Toy Fair then?

>>29408033
Well, I WAS implying that. Now I'm just flat-out stating it. The only thing that has improved is the animation.

>>29407674
The most they would ever do is just only make shorts. They're moving away from TV in general. Hanazuki gets millions of views on YT.

>>29407949
>>29408061
A strong dollar always hurts toy companies, and fewer people paid full price for toys because stores keep slashing prices to get people in. Strong dollar means foreign sales get eaten into.

British toy industry was fucking destroyed by Brexit mostly because the entire toy industry in Europe is run by Continentals, though.

>>29408344
Slightly before Toy Fair generally.

>>29408373

I think Hanazuki is a good show.

>>29408471
i second this unpopular opinion

>>29408387

I can't wait.

>>29408373

Aren't they making a Netflix exclusive Stretch Armstrong cartoon?

>>29408571
Yep.

>>29408603

I feel like a lot of companies are moving away from TV in favor of Netflix and the Internet.

>>29406697
>>29406667
I just wanna know if they are ever planning on coming out with a new version of Sunset's mini. She sold amazingly well yet she hasn't gotten a playset and only one version/outfit while the others already have 2-3 versions and a playset each. Even AJ does and no one likes AJ. AJ doesn't even like AJ.

>>29408475
it is only unpopular outside 4chan /co/ loves it.
in fact i would say its more that 4chan noticed it more.

>>29408697
because more people have access to internet and Netflix from all their computers and mobile devices
TV is outdated at this point and I'll be surprised if it survives another 5 years
everything will be done online and you'll be watching "TV" on your devices exclusively

they've already been merging TV and computer monitors together for a few years now under the "Smart TV" label

>>29408697
Having the EG show as a Netflix original might not be a bad idea for Hasbro. It would be a great way to get the content out to people and it would be decently advertised to those who may have never seen it.
LoE already went straight to Netflix of you don't count the Brazil release so I wouldn't be surprised if they made it a Netflix original.
Wouldn't be a bad idea.

>>29408740
Would probably be just more of those CGI stuff.

>>29407674
they actually probably will discontinue the regular EQG line and just replace it with the minis

>>29408896
You mean the 3D shorts?
That's not gonna be used for the specials.

I am more interested in the next one to see how well the new more reasonable power distribution in magic is increasing sales

>>29406697
Yeah sure. I'll be interested to hear how good and bad they did last year but you and I both know they're not gonna say anything juicy about mlp. At least not until the toy fair. I do really want to see how well the guardians of harmony and EQG minis toys sold though.

>>29409068
I'm okay with this. The minis are cute as fuck.

>>29409469
This. Toy sales we can figure out through releases though.

Let's hope so.

wait does /mlp/ really not like hanazuki /co/ loves it.

>>29414094

>1 person is /mlp/

Hanazuki already is better than any post S2 episode

>>29414112
That show will only last 2 or 3 seasons and be cancelled.

>>29406697
I d like a /biz/ thread, yea, go for it

>>29414371
>>29411210
still better than My Little Zombie Cashgrab Is Magic

Bump, about five hours.

Bump for the future of the show

>Girls category revenues in 2016 grew 50% to a record $1.19 billion. The category benefited from shipments of Hasbro's line of DISNEY PRINCESS and DISNEY FROZEN fashion and small dolls, the successful launch of DREAMWORKS' TROLLS and significant growth from BABY ALIVE. Additional revenue growth came from Hasbro brands including FURREAL FRIENDS and EASY-BAKE OVEN products.
Things are looking good for the company, but MLP is just coasting by. We're only mentionned once in the document, and that's in the standard disclaimer.

>>29416508
Shut up, faggot!

>>29408373
Hanazuki is Hasbro's? That explain why McCarthy is shilling it so much.

>>29411210
Overseen by McCarthy! She wrote Party of One when working on FiM!

>>29418082
MLP is no longer their biggest star. Hasbro may sell it to Disney if the Movie fails.

>>29418268
And Disney should buy LPS too. And Disney will make a generation remake of MLP and LPS in the future.

>>29418259
>>29418261
McCarthy is going to hell!

How does a stronger dollar decrease sales?

Wouldn't it do the opposite?

BOOO

>>29418918
you DO know that mlp is IN that category, right?

>>29418925
Yes, and if Guardians of Harmony or the EQG minis did well, they would have been mentioned. We're no longer big enough to be news.

>MY LITTLE PONY revenues declined last year, but grew in the
International segment. Brand engagement continues to build through
multi-screen storytelling, and we have an innovative and robust line with
new characters and worlds.

>>29418925
They have nothing to earn that success.

>>29419061
>Within the International segment, all product categories grew. Franchise Brand revenues increased 3%, with growth in NERF, PLAY-DOH, MAGIC: THE GATHERING and MY LITTLE PONY.

>We continue investing in differentiated storytelling and entertainment, including the 2017 MY LITTLE PONY animated feature

MLP is still going strong but not growing significantly. If they fail to innovate, brand engagement could decline. A lot is going to depend on the success of the movie and the next season.

>Hasbro had a great, fantastic earning. Lego was disappointing, Mattel was disappointing, and there was an expectation that Hasbro would see issues, but that was not the case
>They are well-positioned entering this year. Very high demand for Star Wars, Marvel product, Beauty and the Beast has had very strong reviews, you also got Transofrmers, and a lot of those products have very long tails, not going any time soon.

and it's thanks due to the minis *cough* Sunset *cough*
perhaps GoH helped a little
all I've heard that actually sold were the NMM and Celestia figures

Stop being so cancerous, shimmerfriend

>>29419164
>a lot of those products have very long tails
>very long tails
Heh.

>>29419184
just stating a fact that Shimmer helped save Hasbro's sales this past quarter
she sold out everywhere
her minis were going for 3 to 6 times the MSRP on amazon alone (24 - 50USD)
whereas all the other minis would barely hit 20USD, even Vinyl had a difficult time hitting that mark

>>29419216

I smell faked statistics,

>>29419284
I wouldn't be too sure about that, tech companies like to play the international game thanks to the Internet erasing borders.
The protectionist agenda does not play well with that, and the damaged american reputation WRT data protection makes the rest of the world want to go look somewhere else.

Imagine getting destroyed this much.

investorfag here
im really sorry guys, i woke up really fucking late today.
Anyways, as im sure you guys know:
Accoring to shareholder info sent out today, company did an all time high in revenue, profits are only expected to increase this year due to transformers amd pone movie. Nothing specific in the recap about pone sales, only girls
but all i fucking care is that the stock is SOARING AND IM IN THE FUCKING MONEY

>>29419786
Pls, 15% gains isn't exactly going to make you the next shkreli.

>>29419798
i bought in back in early 2012 with a dividends reinvesting option
do the math

>>29419835
That's much nicer, but there's no math to be done without some numbers, friend.
If all you have one share, you can buy yourself a dragon dildo with all that money, congratulations.

>>29419786
so, i should buy hasbro stocks and sell when mlp goes off?
>inb4 it never ends

>>29419851
500 shares back in 1st quarter of 2012
I believe i have my option set at 36% reinvestment
im not saying im Pharma Bro (who only made money since he was the ceo of a company in which he had a majority stake in) but for me, thats a nice size profit

>>29419871
Pretty good, tbqh. Grats.

>>29419869
if you have some money to spare, i would say yes, but the price of hasbro in about 95 per share right now
I bought in for about 35 (5 years ago)
hasbro is the type of stock that you should hold onto for a long time to see the most profit (such as Apple or microsoft) so dumping it all when the ride ends (>implying it does) may not be the best idea, since once something ends, it usually wont be long until they replace it

>>29419877
