Hasbro lifts annual revenue forecast on strong demand for "Magic: The Gathering" games
(Reuters) -Hasbro raised its annual revenue forecast on Wednesday, as the toymaker leans on strength of "Magic: The Gathering" games and cost-cutting efforts to weather the impact from mounting economic and tariff uncertainty. The Play-Doh maker saw strong demand for its "Wizards of the Coast" and digital gaming segments for a second straight quarter, as its pivot to digital gaming helped add younger customers even as it struggles to revive interest in toy business. For the second quarter, the company's revenue in "Wizards of the Coast" and digital gaming segment rose 28% due to momentum in "Magic: The Gathering", whose revenue surged 32% driven by growth in tabletop. Hasbro's turnaround efforts, including cutting 3% of its global workforce as well as diversifying its manufacturing and logistics footprint, have helped it reduce its reliance on China, from where it imports nearly half of its goods. It also has manufacturing hubs in Vietnam, India and Japan. The company expects annual revenue to be up mid-single digits in constant currency terms, compared with prior predictions to be up slightly.

‘Flip phone summer': Gen Z vows to resurrect low-tech — before their ‘brains turn to mush'
Gen Z is flipping the script this season. Hanging up on the addictive call of the smartphone, tweens, teens and 20-somethings are, instead, going retro, ditching their digital devices for 2000s-era flip phones. 'Flip phone summer,' declared Makayla Aubrey, posing with her throwback artifact in a trending clip. 'Life will be so simple.' 4 Aubrey and her fellow Gen Zers have declared this season 'Flip Phone Summer,' vowing to replace their smart devices with the Y2K-era accessories. Tiktok / @makaylaaubreyyyy It's an ease that comes with less time on screens. The Zs, youngsters under age 27, have recently begun rehabbing their high-tech fixations with the help of low-tech tools. It's a generational effort towards disconnecting from the World Wide Web, and reconnecting with the real world in oldfangled ways. 4 Young adults online claim their lives are becoming consumed by their smartphones. Andrii Lysenko – Forgoing iPhone photoshoots, Gen Zers are virally all in favor of snapping pics on vintage digital and disposable cameras, insisting that 'a camera from 2007 gives off a certain vibe that something like an iPhone can't produce.' The whippersnappers are, too, preferring cassette tapes and vinyl records over music streaming platforms, and Walkman headphones over ultramodern Bluetooth earbuds. 4 Dumbphones, such as flip phone and Blackberrys, offer users a break from the incessant buzz of today's buzzy iPhones and Androids. F-Stop Boy – Their newfound fascination with Y2K-style horns, however, started with the BlackBerry. Nicknaming the once in-demand devices 'dumbphones,' owing to their unique keyboards and limited capabilities, Zoomers have been zooming to sites like Facebook Marketplace and eBay, purchasing BlackBerrys to supplant their more sophisticated cellulars. Now, as flip phones rise from the ashes as the hot months' hottest commodity, Gen Zs are crediting the vintage mobiles with restoring their grip on reality. 4 TikTokkers like AR Justin are popularizing the 'Flip Phone Summer' movement, making the old-school cell phones cool again. Tiktok / @ar_justin 'It's an unplugged summer,' Meni, who admittedly spent 13 hours staring at screens each day, announced in the caption of a TikTok clip. 'I swear that my brain is just mush,' she said, blaming her smartphone, its alluring apps and constant notifications, for the regression. 'I no longer live my life,' continued the brunette. 'I just watch other people live theirs, and feel s—ty about mine.' Meni went on to laud her early aughts flip phone, along with an old-timey e-book reader, praising the resurrected gadgets for saving her from sure destruction. 'I love the freedom.'
