Schumer Calls Stellantis Layoffs A 'Horrifying Consequence' Of Trump's Tariff Plan

Numerous public companies have updated their 2025 guidance in response to the Trump administration&#8217;s tariffs on China, Mexico and Canada, but additional tariffs on other countries could have significant impacts, DA Davidson analyst Linda Bolton Weiser warned in a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings">new note to clients on Tuesday</a>.
What To Know: President Donald Trump is expected to announce tariffs on potentially trillions of dollars worth of goods imported to the U.S. on Wednesday.
The potential impacts are wide-ranging. Bolton Weiser flagged several names under her coverage umbrella that could be impacted in the Health &amp; Beauty and Leisure space. The analyst noted additional tariffs are &#8220;not reflected in estimates.&#8221;

Trump is expected to announce reciprocal tariffs on several countries at a White House event at 4 p.m. ET. The Trump administration has said the tariffs could target specific sectors.
The tariff announcements have created uncertainty across markets with the S&amp;P 500 crossing into correction territory last month. The SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) was up 0.46% at $563.55 at the time of publication Wednesday, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.

DA Davidson Maintains Buy on Mattel, Raises Price Target to $30

J.P. Morgan analyst Christopher Horvers <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/MAT/analyst-ratings">reiterated a Neutral rating</a> on the shares of Mattel Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MAT#NASDAQ">MAT</a>) and maintained the price forecast of $23.
The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/02/43483126/mattel-shares-climb-after-better-than-expected-q4-results-fy25-eps-guidance-above-estimates">2025 guidance from Mattel </a>exceeds Wall Street expectations for revenue and slightly raises bottom-line estimates, driven by a favorable industry outlook and potential market share gains, the analyst said.
The company is forecasting net sales growth of 2% to 3% (constant currency), a gross margin of around 50.9%, and earnings per share (EPS) between $1.66 and $1.72, compared to the Street's projections of a 3% sales growth, a 50.4% gross margin, and $1.59 EPS.
The forecast accounts for the impact of tariffs, related mitigation actions and increased investments in the self-publishing digital games sector.
Mattel remains optimistic about the toy industry, expecting a stable to slightly improved market in 2025, alongside a return to more typical patterns in the theatrical market.

The company anticipates strong market share growth, with continued success in its Hot Wheels and Challenger categories, an uptick in Barbie sales, growth in the Infant/Toddler/Preschool segment, and new entertainment product launches.
Despite a decline in point-of-sale (POS), the company's fourth-quarter sales surpassed expectations, increasing by 3% (constant currency), with gross billings also up by 3%. 
Looking ahead, management indicated a positive start to first-quarter POS but acknowledged that slightly elevated channel inventory at the start of the year may present a near-term challenge, though they do not anticipate this extending beyond first-quarter or leading to markdown risks. 
Overall, the company expects relatively flat sales year-over-year for first-quarter. Thus, the analyst is projecting a slight decline in first-quarter net sales of -0.6% (with Barbie down 7%, Hot Wheels up 2%, and Fisher-Price up 2%) and a 1.7% increase in FY25 net sales (Barbie down 2%, Hot Wheels up 4.5%, and Fisher-Price up 2%).
Overall, the company's sales performance exceeded expectations, showing significant upside in gross margin. The guidance for 2025 is favorable, even with the potential impact of tariffs, and the sales environment looks slightly improved, concluded the analyst.
Price Action: MAT shares are trading higher by 14.6% at $20.72 at last check Wednesday.
