Remember playing with Mr. Potato Head as a child. Well, apparently millions of kids STILL play with it and the maker of these toys has been posting performance to prove it as of late. Hasbro has posted some very strong earnings and sales growth in the past, and overall the toy industry is up 7% even with the markets being down overall. I also has had good dividend growth in the past couple of years. However, I know it is not on the Dividend Achiever or the Dividend Aristocrat lists. Here is how the company stacks up using my dividend analysis.

SUMMARY
Points Earned:
6 out of 14 – half points are rounded down to be conservative
The stock is rated LOW with 6 points earned through my analysis of the stock. Although this stock has seen some very strong EPS and revenue growth. However, the ten year history is not very positive. I want to see more consistency from management on how they perform and would not be an investor at this time. In addition, even though the dividend growth has been very strong in the past two years, it is not strong for the ten year period and even had a reduction in dividends for a couple of years. This is not a stock for me at this time.
| Rating | Points Required |
| High | 11+ points |
| Medium | 8-10 points |
| Low | < 8 points |
