Mattel, Inc. (MAT), Hasbro, Inc. (HAS), The Walt Disney Company (DIS): Are These Stocks Worth Playing With?

Revenue is expected to be up 7% in fiscal 2013 thanks to these media networks. Major media networks include ESPN, ABC, Disney Channel and ABC Family. The Walt Disney Company (NYSE:DIS)’s other areas of interest include streaming, where it has deals with Netflix and Amazon.

Thanks to its diversified revenue stream, Disney generates solid cash flow, which it can then return to shareholders. Last quarter, The Walt Disney Company (NYSE:DIS) bought back some 38 million shares worth $2 billion.

Bottom line

Year to date, Mattel, Inc. (NASDAQ:MAT) and Hasbro, Inc. (NASDAQ:HAS) have traded in lockstep on a stock price basis…

…and what’s more is that Mattel, Inc. (NASDAQ:MAT) has been afforded a premium to Hasbro, Inc. (NASDAQ:HAS), until now that is. With Mattel’s recent pullback in its stock price, it now trades at a discount on a P/E basis to Hasbro…

I like Mattel the best given its industry leading position, but the company’s valuation is also compelling. The Walt Disney Company (NYSE:DIS) is a buy based on its vast revenue diversification. I think Hasbro, Inc. (NASDAQ:HAS) is below both of these stocks and would rather hold off on owning it for now.
