MAT Mattel, Inc.

$MAT Mattel surges nearly 23% after WSJ report of takeover interest Shares of Mattel (MAT) are surging after the Wall Street Journal reported that the toy maker has drawn takeover interest from Authentic Brands. The brand-licensing giant has made an approach and been in private talks over an offer that could value the toy giant at over $20 per share, or roughly $6B or more, according to The Journal.

$MAT amended new CEO Roger Lynch's offer letter Oct 12: start date moved up to Oct 12 (was by Nov 2), equity grants accelerated to the start date with share counts locked at the pre-pop ~$13 level, TSR baseline set at the Sept 30 close, and change-in-control severance bumped 2x → 2.99x + tax gross-up through 2028. Translation: after the Authentic Brands takeover interest + Ariel pushing for a sale, the board made sure the pop in share price didn't shrink his package. ~$42M year-one at target, ~$20M parachute if he's pushed out after a sale. Rich either way.

$MAT So people are going to leave $5.50 (or more) on the table because hedgies are pushing this down to get in? The Wall St Journal is never wrong about buyout rumors.

$MAT seeing some heavy Dated ITM Call Flow! Currently entering a previous support area, $12.25-13 is be a great area to start a position!

$MAT you’d basically have to be half fucking retarded to not see the upside in this stock currently….IMO

$MAT Mattel owns a world-class IP portfolio: Barbie, Hot Wheels, Fisher-Price, UNO, Matchbox, Thomas & Friends, etc. The brands have huge global recognition and massive untapped licensing/entertainment potential beyond toys. Yet the stock remains heavily discounted, while ABG is reportedly discussing >$20/share. Add Ariel 5.4% + Southeastern ~4.3% pushing for strategic alternatives, and ~26–27M shares short. Strong IP + undervaluation + takeover interest + short squeeze potential = very interesting setup. 🔥

$MAT Just back to levels from five weeks ago. *lol* I bet they use those bankster to manipulate the price down in advance before announcing a takeover.

Barbie is getting bought. Authentic Brands is eyeing a $6B takeover of Mattel, WSJ reports, and $MAT surged nearly 20% Thursday. A 58% premium for the toy box.

$MAT This stock ranks #1 of the stocks where I'm sure that I'll never see my entry again. It was 26$ fyi...

$MAT The leadership is incompetent and will resist to sell but the real owners the stock holders will force them to sell the company resulting in 20% bullish move

$MAT I think there is more then 1 suitor trying to buy. If so this could $40 easily and if more then 3 the games begin

$MAT CEO Ynon Kriez hired by Mattel 2018: price 13.98. CEO Ynon Kriez announces departure from Mattel 2026: price under 13. Great job. Now he makes more money at Paramount and is talked about as a hero that saved Mattel.

$MAT you know it got too cheap yesterday  volcom Quicksilver, and all the rest, another destruction of wealth🍹

$MAT just bought 2k from their 25% special. Love Mat will buy another 1k shares if we dip. Easy money

$MAT Most of these companies are controlled by the baby boomers who will not get another job and don't want retirement so they will resisit until they are forced out by courts, PYPL, Macys, Walgreens, Kohls and the examples are too many, MAT even at $50 a share will not accept the deal unless you pay 90% of the money to the leadership as golden parachutes

$MAT what would you do if you owned Mateo. Some are saying to sell off the assets. Barbie would be a big deal as would others. It’s a good place to be in as investors who are buying today may see a giant profit about to come true. Even if they sell the company it’s a win so no matter what , this will make people a lot of money

$MAT * ABG is discussing a potential acquisition at >$20/share. * Talks are not yet formal, but WSJ, Reuters and CNBC confirmed the discussions. * Ariel (5.4%) + Southeastern (~4.3%) are pushing Mattel to explore a sale — nearly 10% combined. * A second bidder could emerge, but none is confirmed yet. * Short interest is around 26–27M shares, creating potential squeeze pressure. * Key catalysts: higher ABG offer, advanced talks, or a second buyer. Bottom line: takeover story is alive, shareholder pressure is increasing, and shorts are exposed if another positive catalyst appears

$MAT is stabilizing nicely and the outlook remains bright for gains, while $GRML quietly strengthens and positions for a move higher.

$MAT Surprised the Wall Street Journal article hasn't turned the retail traders on like crazy LOL! Especially the Reddit groups! LOL!
