Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Hasbro stock:

• 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Hasbro’s second-quarter 2017 adjusted earnings of $0.53 per share surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 15.2% and surged 29.3% year over year. Meanwhile, revenues of $972.5 million rose 11% year over year but slightly lagged the consensus mark. The company’s revenues projected improvement in three out of its four brand portfolio categories. However, Hasbro’s shares underperformed the industry over the past one year. Even so, recent upward estimate revisions for the current year raise optimism. Consistent efforts to establish its presence worldwide via strategic partnerships and rapid expansion in emerging markets also bode well. This year’s rich content slate, supreme gaming portfolio and diverse new initiatives should further drive growth. Yet, increased competition from alternative modes of entertainment might limit top-line growth, while high costs along with macroeconomic and currency headwinds may hurt profits." (8/17/2017)
• 2. Argus analysts commented, "Star Wars" and "My Little Pony."Looking forward, the company is expected to boost its revenue for the full year 2017 by 8 percent to $5.4 billion and another 4-percent increase the following year to $5.6 billion. Over the same period, the analyst is expecting operating margins to improve by 20 basis points to 16.6 percent this year and increase next year to 16.8 percent.The analyst is also modeling the toymaker to earn $5.00 per share in 2017 which is above the consensus estimate of $4.93 per share. Staszak's 2018 EPS estimate of $5.35 is also above the Street's $5.18 per share and fully factors in continued stock buybacks and expectations for continued positive earnings surprises.Finally, the analyst cited stability in the stock as the two biggest shareholders collectively control 25 percent of all outstanding shares, which makes it difficult for a minority shareholder to buy a stake and push for changes.Shares of Hasbro are trading at 22 times the analyst's 2017 EPS estimate, which is above the peer group's average multiple of 19 and an even greater premium multiple of 25.6x is justified given the company's prospects for "steady" (6/16/2017)
