P.S. We asked our members why they decided to sign up. Here's what they said

Wes wrote in to say:

I became a subscriber to JC in 2016. Then followed Sean and subscribed to his options service. Using their advice has worked well for my portfolio.

I subscribe to your breakout multiplier and thought your process is great. So I think the beat report will be fantastic.

Good job

Here's one from Kelly

I'm most excited about getting into quality companies, at a great price, for longer term, high-conviction investments/trades.

The options plays for bigger risk reward is also great since I'm fairly new to options and this feels like a great way to learn what to look for.

Thanks for all you do!

Allan C said

Hi Steve: I am a lifelong ASC Premium member and have been with you with Breakout Multiplier since inception.

I've been very profitable but more than that I've learned so much.

Met you at the Money Show in Orlando several years ago. You're smart, honest and humble. Thx. Good luck with The Beat Report.

Andy B wrote

Why I signed up - I believe combining technical analysis, fundamental research and market direction provides the best return vs. risk if all of those are in alignment.

Learning how you look at financial statements with your background is a great opportunity.

And John G let us know…

I am very excited to be a part of the Beat Report because I really like the idea of this subscription. I really want to continue to be a long term investor, but utilize options to turbocharge my returns.

My goal is to continue learning from this group and become a better investor, and possibly contribute to good ideas.

We'd love to add you to our list of happy Beat Report members.

Game Over? Mattel’s Margins Crushed By Tariffs

Posted by Trend Signal Forex Now

Mattel Takes it on the Chin

The Q4 2025 earnings results for Mattel and Hasbro have revealed a significant strategic divergence. While both companies faced a "just-in-time" holiday ordering shift from retailers, Hasbro's digital fortress allowed it to withstand the blow, while Mattel's inventory-heavy model led to its worst stock plunge in decades.

Inventory and the Retailer Risk Shift

In late 2025, major retailers like Walmart and Target successfully shifted the risk of unsold toys back onto the manufacturers. By delaying holiday orders until late September and opting for domestic shipping over direct imports, they forced toymakers to act as warehouses.

Mattel's Struggle: Mattel ended the year with $827 million in inventory—a 12% increase—much of which arrived too late for the holiday peak. This "inventory pile-up" was the primary driver of a 480-basis-point drop in adjusted gross margins. CEO Ynon Kreiz admitted that while consumer demand was decent, retailers focused on clearing their own shelves rather than placing fresh orders for Mattel's core brands.

Hasbro's Mitigation: Hasbro managed to keep its inventory more lean, ending the year at roughly $417 million. Because they had already "rationalized" their product lines (cutting unprofitable SKUs), they were less exposed to the retailer destocking trend that hammered Mattel's Fisher-Price and Barbie lines.

Bottom Line: Toys are a Tough Game

The real winner here, if there is one, has to the be retailers who have managed to push inventory and markdown risk to the toy companies instead of carrying the product themselves. Yet another unexpected turn of events stemming from Tariffs.

The Daily Beat - February 11, 2026

Posted by Trend Signal Forex Now

Wednesday, February 11, 2026

Earnings season is the heartbeat of the market, and every day brings fresh signals about where money is flowing.

With each report, we learn not just how companies are performing, but how investors are reacting.

In the Daily Beat, we spotlight the most important S&P 500 earnings moves from the prior session: the winners, the losers, and the reactions that reveal what really matters to the market right now.

Whether it's a bellwether with broad economic implications or a niche name making waves, we cut through the noise to focus on the setups that matter most.

Here are the top beats from the S&P 500 👇

*Click the image to enlarge it

Tuesday's top beat came from the $23B diagnostics and research stock, Quest Diagnostics $DGX. After beating headline expectations, shareholders were rewarded with a +5.09 reaction score. The stock has now been rewarded for 5 of its last 6 earnings reports.

In the 8-K, DGX posted revenues of $2.81B, beating the expected $2.75B, and earnings per share were $2.42, above the expected $2.36.

The big positive reaction from Marriott $MAR also stood out to us.

Here are the bottom beats from the S&P 500 👇

*Click the image to enlarge it

Tuesday's bottom beat came from the $31B specialty industrial machinery stock, Xylem $XYL. Despite a big double beat, shareholders suffered a -5.83 reaction score.

XYL reported revenues of $2.40B, beating the expected $2.37B, and earnings per share of $1.42, beating the expected $1.41.

The beatdown in S&P Global $SPGI also stood out to us.

Let's talk about what else happened 👇

MAR had its best earnings reaction since 2010🔥

Marriott had a +8.5% post-earnings reaction, and here's what happened:

Gross fee revenues grew 7% year-over-year, driven by higher revenue per available room and an 8% increase in credit card fees.
The Marriott Bonvoy loyalty program grew by 43M members to nearly 271M, with new collaborations and recognition as the best hotel loyalty program.
In addition to the strong quarter, the management team issued strong forward guidance across the board.

For years, this stock has been in a strong primary uptrend, consistently outperforming its peers.

This has been fueled by strong fundamentals.

And the strong technical and fundamental uptrends are strengthening. The stock is ripping to new all-time highs on the heels of the best earnings reaction in decades.

We expect MAR to continue trending higher for the foreseeable future.

SPGI had its worst earnings reaction of the 21st century🐻

S&P Global had a -9.7% post-earnings reaction, and here's what happened:

All business segments grew year-over-year, with the ratings segment outperforming.
In 2025, the company returned 113% of free cash flow to shareholders via dividends and buybacks, marking 53 consecutive years of dividend increases. They also repurchased over $5B in stock.
While the management team's forward guidance was pretty solid, the ratings guidance was underwhelming.

Heading into this report, there was a concerning divergence between earnings sentiment and the technicals.

Despite being rewarded for 4 consecutive earnings reports, the stock was carving out a textbook distribution pattern.

As it turned out, the earnings sentiment is catching down to the technicals as shareholders just suffered the worst earnings reaction of the 21st century.

And with SPGI printing fresh multi-year lows, we expect the path of least resistance to remain lower for the foreseeable future.

Follow the trend,

-The Beat Team
