Here’s why this stay-at-home pandemic play fizzled.
The COVID-19 outbreak should not have terrible news for games business Hasbro( NASDAQ: HAS)
Think Of it: Tens of countless Americans, restricted to their homes under shelter-in-place orders and prohibited to leave for work, schools and summertime camps canceled, kids climbing the walls– all for months on end. What’s the option to a situation like that?
TELEVISION, obviously– but Hollywood’s as closed as the rest of the economy, and no one’s making new shows.
Exactly. Parlor game and toys, which just occur to be Hasbro’s forte.

When Hasbro reported its second-quarter revenues late last month, the numbers showed high declines throughout the board (pun intended). Sales dropped 13%year over year, and Hasbro lost $0.
As it ended up, while Hasbro’s video games sector did enjoy an increase from the stay-at-home pattern (sales up 11%), sales were hobbled by the fact that much of the physical stores that would otherwise have actually offered its games either closed down for the pandemic or took restricted inventory to maintain money.
Outcome: Hasbro stock that cost over $106 a share at the beginning of this year closed below $79 last night, and it has actually lost 31%of its value because the year started If on Jan. 1 of this year, you had actually invested $10,000 in Hasbro shares, then today, you have actually already lost $3,100 of that financial investment.
And all you’ve got left is $6,900
