JAKKS Pacific (JAKK): 1 Stock Gift Wrapped for the Holidays

I recently did a YouTube video focused on Holiday Season winners that are also benefiting from changes in tariffs. JAKKS Pacific (JAKK) stood out the most to me (about 8 minutes into the video) and after further research I decided to add it my Zen Investor portfolio.

Here we are talking about a toy maker (action figures, dolls, costumes) that is tied to some of the biggest franchises from Disney as well as the Super Mario (which is benefitting from a recent successful movie reinvigorating the brand).

They are on a serious momentum heater with recent earnings beats of 82%, 61%, 554% and most recently 15% that once again had analysts erasing old estimates and replacing them with ones that are much, much higher.

In this case we are talking about $3.78 being the consensus estimate for next year (up from $3.27 before the report). That means shares are only trading for a PE of 8.5 which is ridiculously low when the average stock is closer to 20.

Indeed, the Zen Ratings is picking up on this growth and value story with this array of strong Component Grades:

Top 13% Growth

Top 10% Value

Top 5% Momentum

Top 1% AI Factor (our usage of AI to pick up on the patterns of what a stock looks like before it takes off...yes, it’s a powerful timeliness indicator).

A rated overall in the top 1.8% of all stocks reviewed.

Note this is a small cap stock just a notch over $300 million market cap. So no wonder it has minimal Wall Street coverage. Yet the one analyst on board is pounding the table with a Strong Buy recommendation and $57 target price (nearly 60% above current levels).

Let’s remember that most Strong Buy recommendations come with price targets about 20-30% higher...so 60% higher means something special is taking place here. 

And probably as they keep banging out more earnings beats, then more analysts will get on board all to our benefit in pushing shares higher.

I see JAKK as a swing for the fences to unlock another 100%+ winner. I like the odds of that coming true in the next couple years. 

And if all that weren’t good enough, how about a hearty 3.1% dividend yield on top?

It’s time to load up your shopping cart with JAKKS shares!
