Hasbro Inc. (NASDAQ: HAS) published its earnings report for the fiscal fourth quarter on Monday that came in better than what analysts had anticipated. The company attributed its hawkish performance primarily to its gaming unit. In related news, Energizer also reported its quarterly financial results on Monday.
Hasbro opened at £72.42 per share on Monday and is currently trading at a per-share price of £67.86. In comparison, the stock had slid to as low as £32.56 per share in March 2020 due to COVID-19 that has so far infected over 27 million people in the U.S. and caused a little under half a million deaths.
