Alta Fox argues that Hasbro could double its valuation by spinning off the unit that houses the Dungeons & Dragons business. The activist believes the business would be around about $13B, the same as the company's current market cap.Last month, Hasbro named Chris Cocks as its next CEO. Cocks, who is scheduled to officially take over as CEO next week, was previously president and chief operating officer of the Wizards of the Coast and Digital Gaming division.","kind":null,"is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":true,"is_publish_live":null,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[{"id":9094116472,"gmtCreate":1645078689872,"gmtModify":1676533995156,"author":{"id":"3574491352854056","authorId":"3574491352854056","name":"seekexin","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6bcf8ecdb80d8b09954aaf14543d2839","vip":1,"crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"htmlText":".&nbsp;","listText":".&nbsp;","text":".","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9094116472","repostId":1173427653,"repostType":4,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"},{"id":638393268,"gmtCreate":1645070293307,"gmtModify":1676532731003,"author":{"id":"3555967496683005","authorId":"3555967496683005","name":"hotwheels","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/c8429f5b1a56b87a4a6d6ef8452b459a","vip":1,"crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"htmlText":"The company to spin off the unit that produces Dungeons &amp; Dragons, known as Wizards of the Coast and Digital Gaming.&nbsp;","listText":"The company to spin off the unit that produces Dungeons &amp; Dragons, known as Wizards of the Coast and Digital Gaming.&nbsp;","text":"The company to spin off the unit that produces Dungeons & Dragons, known as Wizards of the Coast and Digital Gaming.","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/638393268","repostId":1173427653,"repostType":4,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"CN"},{"id":9094342648,"gmtCreate":1645067974050,"gmtModify":1676533993955,"author":{"id":"3578047933589423","authorId":"3578047933589423","name":"PengsieX","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ebe92821eba3b91a6431d698b66bbed5","vip":1,"hat":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f84859c65fc2d7681e28f6b8e9b0535a","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"htmlText":"Magic the gathering&nbsp;","listText":"Magic the gathering&nbsp;","text":"Magic the gathering","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9094342648","repostId":1173427653,"repostType":4,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"}],"isCommentEnd":false,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":48,"commentSize":3,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.24.2","shortVersion":"4.24.2","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/1173427653"}
