Hasbro raised its full-year outlook after third-quarter 2026 revenue rose 15% to $1,595.3 million, led by Magic: The Gathering at $616.1 million. The company also has an electronic Master Sword replica on pre-order for spring shipping.
Hasbro's most recent quarter put the toy maker's growth in one brand. Third-quarter 2026 revenue rose 15% year on year to $1,595.3 million, and operating profit rose 51.7% to $517.3 million. Wizards of the Coast and Digital Gaming led the segments with revenue up 31% to $747.2 million. Magic: The Gathering rose 34% to $616.1 million, about 40% of company revenue. Hasbro raised its full-year forecast on that result.
The card business is the throughline running back through the year. In June, Wizards of the Coast president John Hight gave an official interview on a visit to Japan, discussing Magic's record sales in 2025 and the Japanese market's importance, and pointing to Duel Masters' 25th anniversary in 2027. Hight called Japan the source of TCG culture and said any TCG that succeeds there can succeed globally. Three months later, Hasbro's toy side opened pre-orders for a 27-inch electronic Master Sword modeled on the sword from The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, priced at US$39.99 on Hasbro Pulse, Walmart, Amazon, and other shops, with shipping planned for next spring.
The three stories cover different parts of the company: a quarterly earnings result, a licensed replica pre-order, and an executive interview about the card market. The common thread is Wizards of the Coast, which drove the quarter and supplied the executive voice in June. The Master Sword sits outside that segment, in Hasbro's licensed toy business.
