Mattel Inc. (MAT) shares experienced a significant decline today, falling to their lowest level since November 2020 with an intraday drop of 5.55%.

Mattel's stock has been under pressure due to a variety of factors. The company's shares hit a 52-week low of $14.06 amid a sales slump, indicating a challenging period for the toy manufacturer. This decline reflects broader market concerns about the company's performance and future prospects.

Additionally, Mattel's stock has been negatively impacted by the escalated trade war between the United States and China. The ongoing tensions have led to stock price declines, as investors worry about the potential impact on the company's supply chain and overall business operations.

Over the past month, Mattel shares have experienced a significant drop of 29% due to lackluster performance. This decline has raised concerns among investors about the company's ability to maintain its market position and compete with rivals.

Despite the recent challenges, Mattel shares saw a notable 8% increase driven by solid trading volume, suggesting a possible temporary recovery. However, the company continues to face headwinds, including tariff issues that have led to a 10.1% drop in its stock price alongside other companies facing similar challenges.
