HAS DEADLINE ALERT: ROSEN, NATIONALLY REGARDED INVESTOR COUNSEL, Encourages Hasbro, Inc. Investors with Losses in Excess of $100K to Secure Counsel Before Important Deadline in Securities Class Action
New York, New York–(Newsfile Corp. – December 29, 2024) – WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of common stock of Hasbro, Inc. (NASDAQ: NASDAQ:) between February 7, 2022 and October 25, 2023, both dates inclusive (the “Class Period”), of the important January 13, 2025 lead plaintiff deadline.
SO WHAT: If you purchased Hasbro common stock during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.
WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the Hasbro class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=31157 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. at 866-767-3653 or email case@rosenlegal.com for more information. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than January 13, 2025. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.
WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually litigate securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company at the time. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action (WA:) Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs’ Bar. Many of the firm’s attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.
DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, during the Class Period, defendants made false and/or misleading statements that represented the quality of inventory and the appropriateness of the levels of inventories carried by Hasbro and its retailers compared to customer demand. In truth, however, Hasbro had a significant buildup of inventory that it was struggling to manage and which far exceeded customer demand. As a result, defendants’ statements about Hasbro’s inventory, and what inventory levels reflected regarding demand, were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor’s ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

Oil heads for weekly gains on colder weather, Chinese policy support
By Arathy Somasekhar
HOUSTON (Reuters) -Oil prices edged higher on Friday and were on track for weekly gains as cold weather in Europe and the U.S. as well as additional economic stimulus flagged by China helped push prices in the previous session to their highest in more than two months.
futures were up 69 cents, or 0.9%, at $76.62 a barrel by 12:49 p.m. ET (1749 GMT) after settling on Thursday at the highest level since Oct. 25. U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude gained $1.11, or 1.5%, to $74.24.
Brent was on track for a 3.3% weekly gain, while WTI was set for a 5% increase.
Signs of Chinese economic fragility heightened expectations of policy measures to boost growth in the world’s top oil importer.
“China just is unceasing at this point in terms of their announcements about trying to stoke economic activity, and the market’s taking note of that,” said John Kilduff, partner at Again Capital in New York.
Worries about Chinese demand were a factor in bearish demand assumptions last year, he added.
China announced a couple of new measures to boost growth this week with a surprise move to raise wages for government workers and the announcement of a sharp increase in funding from ultra-long treasury bonds.
The additional funding is to be used to spur business investment and consumer-boosting initiatives.
Oil is likely to have gained some price support from expected increased demand for after forecasts for colder weather in some regions.
“Oil demand is likely benefiting from cold temperatures across Europe and the U.S.,” said UBS analyst Giovanni Staunovo.
Also supporting prices, stockpiles dropped by 1.2 million barrels to 415.6 million barrels last week, EIA data showed.
Meanwhile U.S. gasoline and distillate inventories jumped as refineries ramped up output, though fuel demand hit a two-year low.
Holding back prices however, the dollar was on track for its best week in about two months, even as it dipped on Friday, on expectations that the U.S. economy will continue to outperform its peers globally this year and that U.S. interest rates will stay relatively higher.
Higher rates increase borrowing costs, which can cut economic growth and demand for oil.

US data center electricity and water use to increase significantly by 2028: report
Investing.com — U.S. data centers are expected to significantly increase their electricity and water usage by 2028, driven by the rising adoption of AI technology, according to a U.S. Department of Energy report.
The report forecasts data center electricity demand to rise by 13-27% annually, reaching 325-580 terawatt-hours (TWh), or 6.7-12% of total U.S. demand, by 2028.
This marks a sharp increase from 176 TWh in 2023, with AI servers accounting for much of the growth. demand from AI servers alone is expected to grow 4-8 times, surpassing conventional servers by 2028.
Water usage, primarily for cooling, is projected to increase even faster, by 17-33% annually, reaching 145-275 billion liters by 2028. The study highlights a shift towards water-cooled chillers to accommodate the higher energy density of AI-driven data centers.
The DOE study, conducted by the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, underscores the rapid transformation in data center infrastructure, with substantial implications for energy and resource planning in the U.S.
