Here’s whether Mattel, Inc. (MAT) is worth buying in 2026 —
based on weekly-updated price trend, RSI momentum, and return vs.
the S&P 500. Our current read: Caution.
🟡
Caution
Positives: above the 50-day MA (medium-term momentum positive); RSI 54 — healthy momentum range. Concerns: trading below the 200-day MA (long-term downtrend); weak 1-year return of -17.8%. Currently 33.1% off its 52-week high. Score: -1/7.
MAT is trading below its 200-day MA ($16.85) — a key warning sign the longer-term trend is under pressure. An RSI of 53.8 sits in the neutral zone — momentum is neither stretched nor exhausted. The 1-year return of -17.8% compares to +20.4% for SPY (trailed the market by 38.1%). The current 33.1% drawdown from the 52-week high reflects elevated risk for momentum-based strategies.
