Analysis

Mattel, Inc (MAT) currently trades at $14.79, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $19.29, implying the stock looks roughly 30.4% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 62/100 (solid quality), in the Consumer Cyclical sector. Bull case: trading below our estimate, it may offer upside if the fundamentals hold. Bear case: a low price can be a value trap when quality is weak or the data is thin (evidence: high), always confirm before acting.

Over the trailing twelve months, Mattel, Inc generated revenue of $5.4B at a net margin of 9.3%. Revenue grew 4.3% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 23.6%. Net debt stands at $1.6B. Fundamentals as of Jul 19, 2026

Our scenario range runs from $12.44 (bear case) to $29.56 (bull case); at $14.79, the current price sits within that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The share trades about 34% below its 52-week high and 5% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Consumer Cyclical peers we cover trades at 2% fair-value upside, at 30%, MAT screens cheaper than that median.

Fair Value models

Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small.
