The score is held back primarily by deteriorating financial performance (falling revenue, renewed losses, higher leverage, and weaker 2025 cash flow). Technicals also lean bearish with weak momentum. These are partially offset by a more optimistic 2026 earnings outlook focused on margin expansion and EBITDA improvement, while valuation support is limited given ongoing losses and no dividend.
Positive Factors
European Market Growth
Sustained double-digit POS growth in Europe and a #2 market share position indicate geographic diversification and stronger secular demand outside the U.S. This reduces concentration risk, expands the addressable market, and supports more predictable wholesale and DTC revenue streams over the medium term.
Negative Factors
Declining Revenue & Cash Volatility
Material, multi-year revenue decline and a swing to negative operating/free cash flow in 2025 indicate weakened demand elasticity and unreliable cash conversion. This pattern undermines internal funding for inventory, marketing and growth initiatives and raises dependence on external financing during cyclical troughs.

Funko Earnings Call Summary
Earnings Call Date:Mar 12, 2026
(Q4-2025)
| % Change Since: |
Next Earnings Date:May 07, 2026
Earnings Call Sentiment Positive
The call highlighted improving profitability trends (gross margin ~41%, SG&A down 12%, Q4 adjusted EBITDA at the high end) and strong product/market momentum (EU sales +20%, major product rollouts, cultural wins). Management provided a conservative but improving 2026 profitability outlook (adjusted EBITDA $70–80M) while guiding modest top-line growth (flat to +3%) and noting remaining risks from tariffs, shipping costs, and a double-digit decline in Loungefly due to SKU rationalization. Overall, positive operational and margin progress is balanced against top-line modesty and external uncertainties.Positive Updates
Q4 Revenue Beat
Net sales of $273 million in Q4, up 9% versus Q3 and described as better than expectations.
Negative Updates
Loungefly Decline
Loungefly expected to be down double digits in 2026, primarily due to SKU cuts implemented last year; this offsets some of the core Funko product growth in the sales guidance.

Company Guidance
Management guided 2026 net sales to be flat to up 3% versus 2025, with adjusted EBITDA of $70–$80 million and gross margin of 41–43%; Q4 results that underlie the outlook included net sales of $273 million (Q4 up 9% vs. Q3), gross margin of 41% (7 of the last 8 quarters >40%), SG&A of $91 million (down 12% year‑over‑year) and adjusted EBITDA of $23 million. They expect Funko core product lines to grow high‑single‑digits in 2026 offset by Loungefly down double‑digits (SKU cuts), assume tariff rates around 15% for the year (noting 2025 tariffs/duties were ~ $40 million, about half IEEPA‑related), see strong POS trends (Europe +20% Jan ’25–Jan ’26 and continued double‑digit POS growth; U.S. comps improving into Q1) and emphasize margin upside from tariff mitigation, price/cost actions and license renewals; no additional borrowing is expected and incremental debt paydowns are planned.Funko Financial Statement Overview
