Today’s major market news is pretty unmistakable…

Another 90-day tariff pause triggered a monster market upside move to start the week, and all the retailers who were vulnerable to China tariffs are now soaring following the news of an apparent agreement.

To me, the name to move into right now is Mattel (MAT – NYSE).

In early May, Mattel’s fundamentals were strong – with net sales hitting just under $827 million, which marked year-over-year growth of +2%.

However, since China was responsible for 40% of worldwide production of the company’s toys, the upside move in reaction to this strong news was rather muted.

At the same time, Mattel had already been gradually relocating the production of certain lines from China to other locales – which further insulated them against the threat of tariffs.

But now that the ongoing tariff threat is temporarily lifted, it could be time to make a move.

A line of action figures based on characters from the Minecraft Movie have done well – combined with the fact that MAT just inked multiyear, worldwide licensing deals with Walt Disney for the Toy Story franchise – means that the planned 2026 release of Toy Story 5 should offer an ongoing trigger catalyst for MAT over the next 12 months.

YOUR ACTION PLAN

p>A series of bullish trigger catalyst have all lined up for MAT – which means that now could be the time to move in.

They just reported strong Q1 results, they have a plan top manage the current global economic turmoil, and they have lucrative licensing deals locked down for the next few years. It all leads to adding this $18 stock to your portfolio right now.
