JAKKS Pacific posts strong Q2 2026 earnings with 21% toy sales rise

JAKKS Pacific reported second‑quarter 2026 revenue of $139.2 million, a 17% increase year over year, driven by a 21% jump in toy sales to $97.5 million. Net sales rose to $139.2 million from $119.2 million in the prior‑year quarter, while gross profit increased 15% to $45 million. The company narrowed its operating loss to $100,000 and posted net income of $5.9 million, or $0.49 per diluted share. Adjusted EBITDA more than doubled to $5.4 million and a quarterly dividend of $0.25 per share was declared.

North American sales grew 20% to $115 million, offsetting earlier caution, and international sales edged up 3% to $24 million. CEO Stephen Berman said the company finished the quarter with good momentum heading into the second half of the year. An earnings call was held on July 23, 2026, where management reviewed the results and outlined forward‑looking expectations, noting typical safe‑harbor disclosures.

The strong performance reflects improved retail conditions, successful licensed properties such as SEGA’s Sonic the Hedgehog and Nintendo’s Super Mario, and a healthier cash position.
