Shares of broader consumer discretionary stocks are trading higher following President Trump's decision to implement a 90-day pause on reciprocal tariffs for all countries except China.

Mattel's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MAT#NYSE">MAT</a>) short percent of float has fallen 6.53% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 15.08 million shares sold short, which is 7.3% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 4.71 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Mattel has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Mattel's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Mattel's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 8.63%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

What's Driving the Market Sentiment Around Mattel?

Major corporations have already begun announcing layoffs on Thursday as President Donald Trump's sweeping new tariff structure is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/04/44630499/trump-auto-tariffs-could-up-car-prices-by-15k-analyst-calls-it-pure-chaos">set to take effect.&nbsp;</a>
What To Know: One of the Big Three automakers, Stellantis N.V. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STLA#NYSE">STLA</a>), said on Thursday that it will be temporarily laying off 900 workers and pausing production at one assembly plant each in Mexico and Canada.&nbsp;
The move comes after a 25% tariff on all imported vehicles and auto parts went into effect on Thursday. Meanwhile, President Trump introduced a base 10% tariff on all goods coming into the United States and a broad set of reciprocal tariffs targeting several countries on Wednesday.

According to a Reuters report, Stellantis' Windsor Assembly in Canada will be down for two weeks while Toluca Assembly in Mexico, will be down for the month of April.&nbsp;
About 4,500 workers at Windsor will be impacted by the shutdown, while workers at Toluca will continue to report to work and get paid but will not make vehicles.&nbsp;
Stellantis COO Antonio Filosa said the company is &#8220;continuing to assess the medium- and long-term effects of these tariffs on our operations, but also have decided to take some immediate action,&#8221; in a letter sent to employees Thursday morning.&nbsp;
U.S. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer called the job cuts at Stellantis "a horrifying consequence of Trump's tariffs" in a social media post.

The company released a statement blaming the workforce reduction on slowing consumer demand.&nbsp;
"This is really about aligning to current market conditions driven by consumer demand, particularly as it relates to some of the appliances (refrigeration) made in Amana," Whirlpool's statement said.
Fisher-Price, a subsidiary of Mattel, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MAT#NASDAQ">MAT</a>), also laid off up to 15 employees at its headquarters in East Aurora, New York on Thursday, according to<a href="https://buffalonews.com/news/local/business/article_9a3bfd49-4e15-40e5-843f-9ba3afcbd7e3.html"> a report</a> from the Buffalo News.&nbsp;

Schumer Calls Stellantis Layoffs A 'Horrifying Consequence' Of Trump's Tariff Plan

Numerous public companies have updated their 2025 guidance in response to the Trump administration&#8217;s tariffs on China, Mexico and Canada, but additional tariffs on other countries could have significant impacts, DA Davidson analyst Linda Bolton Weiser warned in a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings">new note to clients on Tuesday</a>.
What To Know: President Donald Trump is expected to announce tariffs on potentially trillions of dollars worth of goods imported to the U.S. on Wednesday.
The potential impacts are wide-ranging. Bolton Weiser flagged several names under her coverage umbrella that could be impacted in the Health &amp; Beauty and Leisure space. The analyst noted additional tariffs are &#8220;not reflected in estimates.&#8221;

Trump is expected to announce reciprocal tariffs on several countries at a White House event at 4 p.m. ET. The Trump administration has said the tariffs could target specific sectors.
The tariff announcements have created uncertainty across markets with the S&amp;P 500 crossing into correction territory last month. The SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) was up 0.46% at $563.55 at the time of publication Wednesday, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.

DA Davidson Maintains Buy on Mattel, Raises Price Target to $30

J.P. Morgan analyst Christopher Horvers <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/MAT/analyst-ratings">reiterated a Neutral rating</a> on the shares of Mattel Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MAT#NASDAQ">MAT</a>) and maintained the price forecast of $23.
The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/02/43483126/mattel-shares-climb-after-better-than-expected-q4-results-fy25-eps-guidance-above-estimates">2025 guidance from Mattel </a>exceeds Wall Street expectations for revenue and slightly raises bottom-line estimates, driven by a favorable industry outlook and potential market share gains, the analyst said.
The company is forecasting net sales growth of 2% to 3% (constant currency), a gross margin of around 50.9%, and earnings per share (EPS) between $1.66 and $1.72, compared to the Street's projections of a 3% sales growth, a 50.4% gross margin, and $1.59 EPS.
The forecast accounts for the impact of tariffs, related mitigation actions and increased investments in the self-publishing digital games sector.
Mattel remains optimistic about the toy industry, expecting a stable to slightly improved market in 2025, alongside a return to more typical patterns in the theatrical market.

The company anticipates strong market share growth, with continued success in its Hot Wheels and Challenger categories, an uptick in Barbie sales, growth in the Infant/Toddler/Preschool segment, and new entertainment product launches.
Despite a decline in point-of-sale (POS), the company's fourth-quarter sales surpassed expectations, increasing by 3% (constant currency), with gross billings also up by 3%. 
Looking ahead, management indicated a positive start to first-quarter POS but acknowledged that slightly elevated channel inventory at the start of the year may present a near-term challenge, though they do not anticipate this extending beyond first-quarter or leading to markdown risks. 
Overall, the company expects relatively flat sales year-over-year for first-quarter. Thus, the analyst is projecting a slight decline in first-quarter net sales of -0.6% (with Barbie down 7%, Hot Wheels up 2%, and Fisher-Price up 2%) and a 1.7% increase in FY25 net sales (Barbie down 2%, Hot Wheels up 4.5%, and Fisher-Price up 2%).
Overall, the company's sales performance exceeded expectations, showing significant upside in gross margin. The guidance for 2025 is favorable, even with the potential impact of tariffs, and the sales environment looks slightly improved, concluded the analyst.
Price Action: MAT shares are trading higher by 14.6% at $20.72 at last check Wednesday.
