Yahoo Finance No Toying Around, Big Money Likes Mattel
And the iconic toy maker could rise even more due to growing sales and earnings. But another likely reason is Big Money lifting the stock.
Mattel Attracts Big Money
So, what’s Big Money? Said simply, that’s when a stock goes up in price alongside chunky volumes. It’s indicative of institutions betting on the shares.
Smart money managers are always looking for the next hot stock. And Mattel has many fundamental qualities that are attractive.
This sets up well for the stock going forward. But how the shares have been trading points to more upside. As I’ll show you, the Big Money has been consistent in the shares.
You see, fund managers are always looking to bet on the next outlier stocks…the best in class. They spend countless hours sizing up companies, reading reports, speaking to analysts…you name it. When they find a company firing on all cylinders, they pounce in a big way.
That’s why I’ve learned how critical it is to gauge Big Money demand for shares. To show you what I mean, have a look at all the Big Money signals MAT has made the last year.
The last few weeks have seen Big Money activity too. Each green bar signals big trading volumes as the stock ramped in price:

In the last year, the stock attracted nine Big Money buy signals. Generally speaking, recent green bars could mean more upside is ahead.
Now, let’s check out technical action grabbing my attention:
1-month outperformance vs. Consumer Discretionary Select Sector SPDR ETF (+32.8% vs. XLY)
Outperformance is important for leading stocks.
Mattel Fundamental Analysis
Next, it’s a good idea to check under the hood. Meaning, I want to make sure the fundamental story is strong too. As you can see, Mattel has been growing sales and earnings quite well. Take a look:
1-year sales growth rate (+18.9%)
3-year EPS growth rate (+334.0%)
