txking Driven by the enduring popularity of its Wizards of the Coast games and its digital segment, Hasbro ( HAS ) enjoyed a strong finish to 2025, engaged one billion fans, and made progress on its evolution into a digital-first play and IP company, delivering fourth quarter results that beat Wall Street’s expectations. “We expect that momentum to carry into 2026,” said Hasbro CEO Chris Cocks. Added Hasbro CFO Gina Goetter, “2025 reflected strong operational execution, driven by progress on our transformation and cost savings initiatives. Wizards was a standout, anchored by record MAGIC revenue.” Wizards of the Coast and its digital gaming segment continued to offset losses in the company’s entertainment segment, resulting in consolidated revenue of $1.45B, an increase of 32% from the same quarter last year and $190M above expectation. This contributed to an adjusted profit of $1.51 per share, more than triple from a year ago and $0.56 better than expected. This lifted the company’s adjusted operating profit up 12 points to 21.8%. Within the Wizards segment, revenue generated by tabletop gaming more than doubled to $494.7M in Q4, with digital and licensed gaming revenue realizing a much more modest increase of 3%, both of which drove net revenue in the segment up 86% to $630.4M. Revenue generated by its consumer products segment—which includes board games and licensed merchandise—increased 7% to $800M, while entertainment revenue (including film and TV) was down 5% to $15.5M. Looking ahead to 2026, Hasbro ( HAS ) expects revenue to increase by 3% to 5%, translating to a range of $4.841B to $4.935B versus estimates of $4.75B. Adjusted operating margin is expected to be within a range of 24% and 25%, while adjusted EBITDA is seen between $1.40B and $1.45B versus $1.36B in 2025. Shares are up more than 2% into Tuesday's open. More on Hasbro Hasbro: MTG Monetization Has Worked Well, For Now Hasbro beats Q4 estimates, announces $1B buyback From Gold to Chips: Large-Cap ...

Make better investment decisions with Simply Wall St's easy, visual tools that give you a competitive edge. IREN has outlined a shift from primarily Bitcoin mining to AI infrastructure, anchored by a large AI contract with Microsoft. The company reports that 95% of the financing needed for its GPU build out under this contract is secured, including a prepayment from Microsoft. New data center campuses in Texas and Oklahoma are central to supporting this AI focused infrastructure build. NasdaqGS:IREN, recently trading at $46.15, is still heavily exposed to Bitcoin mining, which currently provides most of its revenue. Even so, the stock’s very large 1 year gain and roughly 7x return over 3 years indicate that investors have already reacted strongly to its evolving story. For you as an investor, the key consideration is how this mix of Bitcoin mining and AI infrastructure might affect the company’s risk and revenue profile over time. The Microsoft contract, GPU financing progress, and new campuses could serve as important markers to watch as IREN’s business model continues to evolve.

The dollar may fall 10% this year as there’s a risk the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates more deeply than markets anticipate once the next chair of the central bank takes over, according to State Street Corp.’s Lee Ferridge . Traders expect that the Fed will resume lowering interest rates around June and deliver at least two quarter-point reductions by year-end. But Ferridge, a strategist at the bank, sees scope for officials to deliver a third reduction in 2026. That’s in part on the view that current Chair Jerome Powell ’s successor will face pressure from President Donald Trump to reduce borrowing costs. “Three is possible,” Ferridge said in an interview on the sidelines of the TradeTech FX conference in Miami. “Two is a reasonable base case, but we have to accept we are going into a more uncertain period of Fed policy.” The other dynamic is that deeper Fed rate cuts will make it less expensive for foreigners to hedge the currency risk on their US investments, and as they step up that activity it will weigh on the greenback, he said. The Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index is down about 1.7% this year after sliding roughly 8% last year, its worst annual performance since 2017. Concerns around the economic impact of trade friction and worries around the US fiscal outlook hurt the greenback, as did Trump’s pressure on the Fed. Trump has nominated former Fed Governor Kevin Warsh to succeed Powell, whose term ends in May, and Warsh, if confirmed, may deliver what Trump wants, Ferridge said. The greenback may rebound 2%-3% in the near term as solid US economic data reduces expectations for Fed cuts, Ferridge said. However, dollar selling is “just waiting for once Kevin Warsh takes over the Fed and starts cutting rates probably more persistently and narrowing that rate spread with the rest of the world,” Ferridge said. “If that happens then we know there’s room for that hedge ratio to rise.” The present hedge ratio of about 58% compares with a level of above 78% back be...

watch now VIDEO 11:04 11:04 Kalshi CEO Tarek Mansour on Super Bowl trades, growth of prediction markets and insider trading risk Squawk Box Kalshi saw more than $1 billion in trading volume on Super Bowl Sunday, reaching a daily record high, according to CEO Tarek Mansour. That volume was up 2,700% year-over-year, according to the company. The platform allows users to buy event contracts for outcomes in politics, pop culture, financial markets and sports. "It was an incredible weekend," Mansour told CNBC's " Squawk Box " on Tuesday. "Kalshi was the biggest brand of the Super Bowl this year, without running a Super Bowl ad, and the way we achieved that is the product." Mansour said the trading volume for halftime performer Bad Bunny's opening song exceeded $100 million, while bets on who would perform with Bad Bunny surpassed $45 million. The platform's Super Bowl contracts were not without bumps, though. Co-founder Luana Lopes Lara posted on social media during the game that some users' deposits were delayed due to high traffic. "Your money is safe and on the way, it will just take longer to land," she wrote. Kalshi has recently come under fire along with other prediction markets as skepticism around the industry builds, with concerns of insider trading. Last week, before the Super Bowl, the platform announced additional efforts to expand its surveillance and enforcement efforts to identify and remove accounts participating in insider trading. "The insider trading risk is very real for the stock market as well," Mansour said on Tuesday. "As a regulated financial market by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, we have the same rules as the Nasdaq and the New York Stock Exchange, and we have the same mechanism of enforcement," he added. Over the past year, Mansour said the platform has run 200 investigations and frozen the relevant accounts, with some of those referred to law enforcement for prosecution. Disclosure: CNBC and Kalshi have a commercial relationship t...

Our top 10 things to watch Tuesday, Feb. 10 — Today's newsletter was written by Jeff Marks . 1. The S & P 500 was headed for a muted open this morning. We're keeping an eye on chip stocks like Club names Nvidia and Broadcom after Taiwan Semi reported earnings. January sales increased 37% year over year for the company. It's a good sign of artificial intelligence demand. 2. DuPont shares jumped 2% after posting a better-than-expected fourth quarter. The company beat on net sales, EBITDA, and adjusted earnings per share. Management's 2026 forecast was above the Street's expectations, as well. Adjusted EPS at $2.25 to $2.30 vs. the consensus of $2.14. This Club stock has been a horse since spinning off Qnity Electronics , another portfolio name, in November. 3. CVS reported a strong fourth quarter this morning. Adjusted earnings per share came in at $1.09, beating expectations of $0.99. The drugstore chain reiterated its full-year EPS outlook of $7 to $7.20. The stock was down over 2% this morning, however, because the $7.10 midpoint was below the Street's estimates of $7.17. 4. Club holding Texas Roadhouse was downgraded to hold from buy at Truist on concerns that beef inflation will persist through 2027. Also, in the restaurant space, Wingstop was downgraded to hold at TD Cowen on expectations of a difficult same-store sales setup for 2026. 5. Bernstein raised its price target on Club name Apple to $340 from $325, and kept a buy rating on shares. Analysts pointed to a strong iPhone cycle and argued that rising memory prices shouldn't be an issue for the tech company in the near term. 6. Coca-Cola stock fell over 3% after the beverage giant missed on the top line, but beat on adjusted earnings per share by 2 cents. Management guided 2026 organic revenue growth to 4% to 5% and EPS growth of 7% to 8%. 7. Raymond James upgraded Take-Two Interactive to a strong buy from outperform. Analysts say the stock's recent selloff – down 15% since Jan. 29 – is overdone. The weaknes...

Igor Kutyaev The retail sector is on watch after the December Retail Sales report came in below expectations, including flat growth for December vs. the expectation for a 0.4% month-over-month gain. Of course, December is a key month for the retail sector due to the holiday shopping phenomenon. Retail sales were up 2.4% on a year-over-year basis. Categories that dragged during the month included the furniture and home furnishings category, with a 5.6% decline from a year ago. Department stores saw a 0.3% decline from a year ago in a read that does not bode well for Macy's ( M ), Kohl's ( KSS ), and Dillard's ( DDS ). The pace for nonstore retailers was just 0.1% month-over-month and 5.3% year-over-year, which marks a slowdown for the category that includes Amazon ( AMZN ), Etsy ( ETSY ), Wayfair ( W ), and eBay ( EBAY ). Navy Federal Credit Union Chief Economist Heather Long weighed in on the December Retail Sales report. "This is a K-shaped economy with strong spending from the top and much more cautious spending from middle- and lower-income consumers. Retail sales were flat in December, driven by soft spending on autos, home furnishings, appliances, and clothing. These items were hard hit by tariffs in 2025, and consumers shifted their spending elsewhere," highlighted Long. The general view is that the holiday shopping season was solid but not spectacular.
