JAKKS Pacific (ISIN US47012E4035) received a downgrade from Hold to Strong Sell in a report that MarketBeat published on September 24, 2026. The report identified Zacks Research as the analyst source and contrasted the downgrade with JAKKS Pacific's latest quarterly performance.

Strong quarter, weaker rating

MarketBeat reported that JAKKS Pacific generated USD 139.24 million in revenue in the second quarter of 2026, compared with a USD 123.01 million consensus estimate. The USD 16.23 million gap shows that the rating change was based on expectations beyond the latest reported quarter, rather than on a quarterly revenue shortfall.

JAKKS Pacific also reported diluted earnings per share of USD 0.49 in the second quarter of 2026, while the consensus estimate called for a USD 0.06 loss. The USD 0.55 per-share difference gives the quarter a clear earnings comparison, even as Zacks Research maintained a cautious stance on later periods.

Next results date is set

JAKKS Pacific announced on October 1, 2026 that it will report third-quarter 2026 financial results on October 22, 2026, after the stock market closes, according to GlobeNewswire. The company scheduled an earnings call for 5:00 p.m. ET on the same date, giving investors a defined point for the next update on sales, profitability and seasonal demand.

That calendar date matters because JAKKS Pacific operates in a seasonal consumer-products market. The third-quarter report will provide the next reported period for testing whether the second-quarter revenue performance can carry into the important second half of 2026.

Market value and yearly range

JAKKS Pacific had a market capitalization of USD 310.7 million as of October 2, 2026. Its 52-week range was USD 14.87 to USD 27.22, placing the company in a small-cap market bracket while leaving the upcoming results as the next major quantified operating checkpoint.
