Previously, the CNBC host had Hasbro, Inc. (NASDAQ:HAS)’s CEO on his show and discussed the firm’s business approach in today’s environment:

“What do you make of what’s happening at Hasbro, the iconic maker of toys and games? Last week, the company reported an impressive top and bottom line beat driven by strong momentum in their Magic the Gathering business. But management also noted that the tariffs are tough for their business, even if there are some things they can do to mitigate the damage. In response, the stock jumped more than 14% and it’s just related a few more points. So, can it keep running? Maybe investors should get cautious. […]

[Talking directly to the CEO, Chris Cox] I got a feeling that you’ll be able to- you’ll be more resourceful and you’re a conservative guy. You got credit for being conservative. The companies that are being aggressive, they’re the ones whose stocks are getting killed. I think you’re doing this exactly right.”
