		<description><![CDATA[RC2 Corp.&#8217;s (RCRC) fourth quarter 2010 earnings missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate due to lower gross margin. We remain cautious on the stock due to increasing input costs pressure and currency fluctuation risk. Moreover, competition from private label toys and video game industry is increasing. Additionally, ordering from retailers remains conservative, thus negatively impacting the sales of the company. Hence, we are downgrading the stock from Neutral to Underperform. Our six-month target price of $19.00 equates with 9.9x our earnings estimate for 2011. With no dividend to supplement, this price target implies an expected negative return of 10.3% over that period, which is consistent with our Underperform recommendation.

		<description><![CDATA[RC2 Corp&#8217;s (RCRC) second quarter 2010 earnings surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate, driven by strong international sales. The company also raised the lower end of its earnings guidance for fiscal 2010. We expect the company to benefit from its aggressive acquisition strategy, and remain optimistic regarding its recent acquisition of privately-held JJ Cole Collections, a marketer of premium infant products. Additionally, the company&#8217;s cost reduction initiatives will likely drive the margins. Given the demographic trends, RC2&#8242;s focus on core early childhood also bodes well. Considering the company&#8217;s product line-up in the second half of 2010, we expect an improvement in the top line. Moreover, strong cash flow and modestly levered balance sheet offer a solid operating backdrop. Thus, we are upgrading the stock from Neutral to Outperform. Zacks Investment Research]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We are upgrading our recommendation on RC2 Corp. (RCRC) to Neutral from Underperform. RC2’s fourth-quarter earnings of 43 cents per share was ahead of the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 41 cents. The better-than-expected results were driven by a favorable product mix and higher margins reflecting cost-reduction initiatives. However, the results were flat compared to the prior-year period. We expect RC2 to further benefit from its aggressive acquisition strategy and the cost cut drives. The company’s focus on core early childhood demographic factors bodes well. It markets its products to new mothers which represent a steady and renewable customer base. Though RC2’s overall sales and profit are anticipated to be lower in the first half of 2010 compared to the prior-year period due to the transition in its preschool, youth and ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[RC2 Corp. (RCRC) has agreed to pay $1.25 million civil penalty for violation of the federal lead paint ban, as announced by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) recently. The CPSC had alleged that RC2 Corp. and one of its wholly owned subsidiaries, Learning Curve Brands Inc, imported and sold Thomas &#38; Friends Wooden Railway toys that had lead levels exceeding the legal limits. However, RC2 Corp. denied of any deliberate violation. High levels of lead in paints or surface coatings of toys and other articles for children result in lead poisoning and affect their health. According to the 1978 federal lead paint ban, toys and other children&#8217;s articles are prohibited from having more than 0.06% of lead (by weight) in paints or surface coatings. However, the regulatory limit ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We are downgrading our recommendation on RC2 Corporation (RCRC) from Neutral to Underperform. While third quarter results were ahead of the Zacks Consensus Estimate, primarily due to the benefits of the cost containment initiatives, we note that the company has reported a drop in sales in the quarter. Also, the holiday season is expected to be a challenge as families are restricting their discretionary spending. Hence, we expect the company to continue to face a difficult operating environment in the near future. Additionally, the loss of the Thomas &#38; Friends license to Fisher-Price will likely prove to be a significant blow in 2010. Further, the chances of retaining the Wooden track system license when it expires in 2012 have been reduced, in our opinion. Zacks Investment Research View original at: ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[RC2 Corporation’s (RCRC) third quarter earnings of 66 cents per share are ahead of the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 60 cents. Results were driven by cost reduction initiatives implemented by the company though sales reported a drop in the quarter. Net sales were down 4.8% year-over-year to $126.5 million. Sales were reduced by 3% due to unfavorable fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Slightly better results in North America were offset by weak International sales. Foreign currency exchange rates had a negative impact on International sales. Sales in mother, infant and toddler products category decreased 5% year-over-year, driven by lower sales in health/safety and infant toy product lines. Management expects growth in this category in 2010. Sales in preschool, youth and adult products category decreased 5% year-over-year. However, this decline ]]></description>
