Hasbro Inc. (HAS) said Monday its profit rose 8.8 percent to $150.4 million, or 99 cents per share, in the third quarter, helped by lower costs and slightly higher sales of Transformers and G.I. Joe toys. The results beat estimates for earnings of 93 cents a share. Still, revenue fell 1.7 percent to $1.28 billion, missing analysts' estimates of $1.32 billion. Shares gained nearly a percent ahead of the bell. McDonald's (MCD) and Whirlpool (WHR) are among other retailers reporting this week.
