Why Is Hershey (HSY) Stock Soaring Today
Shares of chocolate company Hershey (NYSE:HSY) jumped 6.9% in the pre-market session after the company reported strong fourth-quarter results, which blew past analysts' gross margin and organic revenue estimates. Looking ahead, Hershey expects at least 2% revenue growth in 2025, but earnings are projected to decline due to continued pressure from high cocoa prices and increased operating expenses​. Overall, we think this was a decent quarter with some key metrics above expectations.
