hasbro is rallying to the very top of the s&p 500. it's been a while since it's done that. we're going to tell you why it's doing that in just a minute. and a new there have -- sheriff at the federal trade commission who promises to hold big tech's feet to the fire. we're headed live to the white house for a fox business exclusive with federal trade commission chair andrew ferguson. that's next on "the claman countdown." the dow still falling by about 510 points. ♪ (shower water runs) (♪) (orange is peeled) (♪) (shower turns on) (children laughing) (♪) (shower turns on) (shower water runs) (child laughing) (♪) (♪) so, what are you thinking? i'm thinking...

. >> oh what about hasbro soaring on some good results and a $1 billion savings plan.bro. >> yeah. >> the little. >> pawtucket rhode island company here i think look they they hit it out of the park with earnings i think that's great. they have a good story here. they're they're going to you know take 50% out of china i think that helps. they're they're projecting single digit profit growth inclusive of tariffs and things like this for me. you know i look at it last year it was 15% versus s&p 500. so underperformed that 22.3. they're up 8% versus four. so they're doing well. this is a company in which i think i would take the gains today i you know i kind of love what they did with the earnings season. but i'm not super excited about single digit growth. had the company fallen on earnings because of the single digit growth i probably would have bought if it was, you know, an 8 to 10% dip. but take your gains here, be happy with it and wait for a dip. >> that brings us to carvana, which is dropping today, but very similar story to what we mentioned earlier. it's up 350%

but the fact is that this is the new hasbro. everything's going in the right direction. >> new strategic plan. >> yes. and i think that mr. cox is doing a terrific job. he came on announced announced the plan on mad money and i, i was struck by how this was the hasbro that is going to be energized. this thing is not done by the way. remember mattel had a good quarter too. some people say maybe toys are back. i would just say both companies are really well run right now. >> talk about reducing the percentage that they rely on china for, for goods. >> and i know that mattel did that too. but it is. these are two companies that really got deep in china. it's very hard to get out of it, although rh did. and if you take a look at rh, which is one of the great comeback stories of all time, they they've moved a lot of a lot of their business to other countries initially. by the way, when you move this stuff is not high quality, but you have to keep working and working and working. gary's done that. gary bought a ton of stock when it wa

. >> stephen: it's the most unhelpful might child's product with the market since hasbro released "mytle polio." [applause] eventually rfk jr. answered bernie's question by dodging it. >> i have no power over that organization, i resigned from the board. >> that was just a few months ago. you founded that, you certainly have power. you can make that -- are you supportive of this? >> i've had nothing to do with the -- >> are you supportive of these onesies to.

it even comes with a plastic badge from hasbro. and a "my first vial of ketamine kit." all feels weird and unconstitutional, yeah. even some republicans acknowledge that, like north carolina's thom tillis, who said elon musk "runs afoul of the constitution in the strictest sense. but it's not uncommon for presidents to flex a little bit on where they can spend and where they can stop spending," adding, "nobody should bellyache about that." yeah, everybody knows you can fudge the constitution a little bit. that's why at the very end it says, "or not!" whatev. senator tillis isn't alone. last night, louisiana senator john "not that john kennedy" kennedy went on the fox news to defend trump and musk, but he got off to kind of a weird start. >> let me try to put all this in context for you. um, i like omelettes. i mean, i really like omelettes. i could eat an omelette at every meal. um, i like omelettes better than sex. [laughter] >> stephen: i've been eating at the wrong diner. i like an omelette. senator, you are saying? >> i like omelettes better than sex. not really, bu

stuart: hasbro. >> okay.g enough "star wars" action figures or nerf if guns, or maybe you are because the stock has really turned around from the premarket. they are forecasting 2025 revenue below expectations, but they are that targeting a a $1 billion cost savings program through 2027 in a new strategic plan. stuart: got it. how is costco -- i believe they've been talking about this -- how is costco using artificial intelligence? >> you know, it's called the travel port where a company that they have partnered with that basically louse you to search for flights -- allows you to search for flights that they're saying is more efficient, faster and gives you better results. stuart: that's it? >> that that's kind of it. stuart: costco's one of your favorite -- the favorite retailer. >> yeah. i don't own it a because i'm a growth investor. while costco is growing, it's not the same thing. i'd rather own nvidia, marvell, etc. it's a heck of a company. stuart: one last one, taylor. carvana, they're down sharply af

mattel and hasbro have kind of been on a roller coaster ride since last friday when a 10% u.s.ods was about to take effect. nearly 8ing 0% of u.s. toys are manufactured in china, so they will be keenly watching the president's tariff announcement and what he says will be many new countries getting slapped with tariffs on monday. but this is nothing new. since the toy january maker survived the merry go round if trump's first term, what did they learn then? isaac larian is the founder and ceo of mga entertainment, the maker of bratz dolls, lol surprise dolls and many more, the largest privately-held toy company in the united states, among the largest in the world. isaac, is this sort of an, oh, no, here we go again, and how are you preparing for something like this? >> hi, liz. happy valentine's. liz: aw, thank you. [laughter] >> so the tariffs, first of all, during mr. trump's first presidential administration, and i have to say he's a great guy. i rooted for him. i love what he's doing for the country,9 cutting waste. he's a great, great -- i voted for him, so he's a great pre

it would have been natural to buy shares in mattel or hasbro., i'm not asking the kids to know what it means to own shares in a company in terms of price, earnings, multiple, or even earnings. i'm simply saying it's a way to teach kids that a company can be owned by the public, and you can own a share in that company, too. they know toys. of course, the irony should not be lost on my family. can you imagine if my father had bought shares in a nice dividend stock for me three m rather than national video? we had a box of cheerios on our breakfast table every day of our lives. we could have bought general mills. what a fantastic stock. and then there were the really easy ones. what kid doesn't want to go to disney world? it's that factor and not how many people sign up for the streaming service. that will always drive me back to the stock. the disney library alone should be enough to make you want to own shares in the company. but the theme park? i mean, come on, let's not outthink this game. i don't know about johnson and johnson's band-aids and

so we're going to start off with shares of hasbro on the earnings front up just about maybe 2.5% or soed a new strategic plan that calls for average revenue growth in the mid single digits each year through the year 2027. so all that, on balance, leads to a 2.5% gain. turning now to shares of shake shack up by about roughly 8%, now 9.5% after posting better than expected results. now, you may recall that the upscale burger chain updated its guidance just a little over a month ago, which led to a bigger pullback. as you're kind of seeing over there over the last month. shake shack did give current quarter revenue guidance. that was somewhat disappointing, but the full year outlook was relatively in line to slightly better than consensus. total revenues are forecast to be around 1.45 to $1.48 billion for the year, and sales growth at established restaurant locations projected to be 3% higher than the full year in 2024. so shake shack shares up 9.5%, and we'll finish with wayfair. shares are sliding just about maybe 7.5% or so after the furniture and home goods retailer reported a worse t

i usually pronounce i'm with arkansas youth services and co-chair of hasbro.i just wanted to reiterate again how incredibly critical problem solving funds are particularly for transitional age youth who are being disproportionately impacted by the new restrictions. totally understand it's financial decision. so we're hoping that the board of supervisors with with ages ages partnership can find some funding to put back oh it's such an effective prevention tool. transitional aid youth 18 to 24 sometimes younger but 18 to 24 typically who are surviving off the streets typically don't have a lease in their name. so first or last month rent deposit is just in a they're either couchsurfing or staying with family where they're trying to pay rent. that's a lot of the resolutions and it's just such a stabilizing effective prevention tool. so they can stay where they are and we can work with them the providers can work with them to get employed, stabilized, get employed and then eventually be able to get a lease in their names. but they have to get to that point first.
