HSY VS S&P500
Hershey has intentionally rationalized its fare over the past few years to ensure shelf space and advertising dollars are being allocated to the highest return opportunities.
Low-priced competition is scant in the US confectionery space, as private-label fare holds just a low-single-digit share of the chocolate aisle on its home turf, versus 36% for Hershey.
We posit its more recently acquired salty lineup complements its confectionery fare and unlocks the potential for innovation that blends the two taste profiles, which Hershey is uniquely positioned to achieve.

Barclays lowered the firm's price target on Hershey to $160 from $170 and keeps an Equal Weight rating on the shares. The company guided to a deeper than estimated cocoa-related year-over-year earnings decline in 2025 though also sees earnings growth in 2026 even if cocoa remains elevated, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The firm says the latter would also require even more aggressive action around pricing and productivity.
