In February, rumors surfaced that Hasbro and Mattel did indeed want to merge, something that would make a lot of sense. Hasbro reported fourth-quarter sales that fell year-over-year. Mattel's revenues missed consensus estimates by $80 million, falling 12 percent YOY to $1.61 billion. On its conference call, Mattel CEO Margo Georgiadis said the company was optimistic that its business would stabilize this year. Driven by cost reductions, improving profit trends and momentum for its goals set in June, strengths from Mattel's fourth quarter could continue.
