HSY Stock Recent News

I like consumer goods stocks, particularly those with a focus on providing me access to companies that support the everyday purchases of everyday people. A lot of companies fall into this broad grouping, but three of my top picks right now are Realty Income (O -0.69%), which needs a bit of explaining, Hormel Foods (HRL 0.75%), and Hershey (HSY 1.17%).

In the closing of the recent trading day, Hershey (HSY) stood at $171.45, denoting a +1.02% move from the preceding trading day.

HSY leans on demand shaping and pricing strategy to ease elevated cocoa and tariff costs.

Dividend Yield Theory signals Hershey is undervalued, with current yield well above its historical mean, suggesting strong long-term total return potential. Despite recent earnings declines and headwinds from high cocoa prices, tariffs, and manufacturing costs, Hershey's fundamentals remain robust for dividend investors. Hershey's dividend is well-covered by cash flow, with strong ROIC, payout ratio, and dividend growth rates reinforcing its blue-chip status.

In the latest trading session, Hershey (HSY) closed at $169.12, marking a -1.74% move from the previous day.

Hershey is a quality international consumer staple sector company with an "A" S&P credit rating and 15 years of paying a rising dividend. It rarely has a dividend yield over 3% which it easily does now. Despite earnings dip for 2025 and issues with consumer healthy tastes, the company continues to meet the demand with new "Better For You" products.
