Investment Highlights
Why It Matters
Which of these 2 stories sounds closer for this stock?
1. Generates cash flow
The stock generated 4% or more of the share price (called cash flow yield), and shows moderate 10-15% or more growth.
2. Riding a trend
Think Tesla during the pandemic of 2020 when EVs were riding a cultural high, or Nvidia in the current AI boom, or even Figma. These companies don’t have enough yield, or, enough growth, or both - however - they are riding a trend. They have momentum. These can be more volatile - they don’t have the floor of strong cash flow

Why The Stock Moved
Qualitative Assessment
AI Generated Analysis | Feedback
Here are key points explaining the approximate -9.5% stock movement for Funko (FNKO) from August 31, 2025, to December 4, 2025:
1. Continuing Negative Sentiment from Q2 2025 Financial Miss: Funko reported significantly lower-than-expected earnings per share and revenue for the second quarter of 2025 in early August, prior to the start of this period. The company's EPS of $0.48 fell substantially below the forecasted $-0.32, marking a 250% negative surprise, and net sales declined 22% year-over-year. This poor performance led to an immediate stock decline and likely fostered a persistent negative investor sentiment extending into the subsequent months.
2. Bearish Analyst Outlook and Price Target Revisions: In August 2025, following the disappointing Q2 results, analysts issued cautious ratings and price target revisions. For instance, Goldman Sachs set a price target of $2.50 on August 14, 2025, suggesting a potential downside of over 20%. The consensus among Wall Street analysts was to "Hold" FNKO shares, with some even issuing "Sell" ratings, reflecting a generally pessimistic outlook that could have pressured the stock during the period.
