The initial success of Toy Story 4, domestically and overseas spells next quarter earnings increase for MAT. With the resulting cash revenues earned by MAT from this . . . say +.10-.20 range at least I am guessing MAT will have some cash to use on next films in the next 7 coming? IF tariffs are called out as force that will drastically negatively effect Toy Industry profits . . . our proposed buy-outer competitor will also by hit accordingly. A hostile stock-buying takeover tactic might not be in the cards for MAT now . . . just have to wait and see how that goes.
Will the future of the Toy Market be SW VG tie-ins with phone and tablet activated physical toys? Sounds like what will happen. If so, I foresee at least part of that production of . . . coming back to USA (plus some done in Canada and Mexico under pending Tri-Country Alliance Trade Agreements).
DIS has been proposed as one of three possible takeover firms for MAT . . . but the present contract with MGM for coming movies dims that. The other two are folks like WMT and Amazon . . . doubting HAS gets OK to take over MAT.
Slow drift down in stock price . . . may be what is coming now?
