On January 26, 2023, Hasbro previewed its fourth quarter results for fiscal year 2022. Having previously touted the apparent strength of the 2022 holiday season, Hasbro admitted that revenue would in fact contract by 17% year-over-year. To combat weakening sales, Hasbro announced it would be laying off 15% of its global work force, and at the same time disclosed the immediate departure of its Chief Operating Officer, Eric Nyman. 

On this news, Hasbro's stock price fell $5.17 per share, or 8.1%, to close at $58.61 per share on January 27, 2023. 

Then, on October 26, 2023, Hasbro announced its financial results for its fiscal year 2023 third quarter. Among other items, Hasbro disclosed an 18% decline in Consumer Product revenues year-over-year, along with a significant reduction in guidance for the remainder of the year. In the attendant earnings call, Chief Financial Officer Gina Goetter further revealed that the Company was forecasting "$50-ish million of onetime cost" that was to be spent on "mov[ing] through inventory at the retailer level, extra marketing to move through the inventory, [and] extra obsolescence cost" in its Consumer Products segment. 

On this news, Hasbro's stock price fell $6.38 per share, or 11.7%, to close at $48.37 per share on October 26, 2023.
