Report Description
Byline: Leslie Gross Klaff
Mattel may be the brains behind such long-standing favorites as Barbie, Hot Wheels and Elmo dolls, but when Robert Eckert was hired as CEO in May 2000, the world's largest toy maker was losing at its own game. Former CEO Jill Barad's growth-by-acquisition strategy had flopped, driving the company's stock price to $11.25 per share. Since Eckert took charge, Mattel's stock price has risen 71 percent, to $19.27 per share, and earnings have grown by almost 70 percent, from $328.5 million in 2000 to $552.6 million in 2003.
