Lego A/S reported a surge in sales for the first six months of 2022 and said it had won market share from rivals, building on its position as the world’s largest toy maker.
The Danish maker of colorful toy bricks said Wednesday that revenue increased 17% compared with the first half of 2021 to 27 billion Danish krone, equivalent to $3.47 billion. It said Star Wars, Technic and Harry Potter themed sets had sold well. Net profit of 6.2 billion krone was down slightly on the 6.3 billion krone reported in the same period last year, during which Lego roughly doubled its profits.
