It was a rough year for toy stocks. The Dow was down 9.2% while toy stocks declined 32%.
Only two stocks out of the eleven we track ended the year in positive territory, JAKKS, and Build-a-Bear. Eight stocks ended up with double-digit decreases, with Amazon’s stock value declining by more than half. Mainstays, Hasbro (-40%) and Walt Disney -44%) led the toy stocks in declines.
