DA Davidson analyst Linda Bolton Weiser raised her price target on Hasbro to $120 and kept her Buy rating after its Q1 results, with a 6% constant-currency sales growth driving the 14% sales upside surprise. The analyst says her long-term bullish thesis is "playing out" with the annual growth rate of the company's Entertainment, Licensing & Digital business profits coming at 17% over the past 6 years. Weiser adds that there are few signs of a slowdown given the "outlook for future entertainment productions, Power Rangers licensing royalties, and Magic the Gathering Arena", which is already an 8th ranked e-sports game.
