Furthermore, according to the comprehensive report, the opinions of $Hershey (HSY.US)$'s main analysts recently are as follows:
Recent significant increases in cocoa futures could potentially impact the earnings for companies like Hershey, especially in the latter half of 2025 more than the former. The adjustment in earnings estimates for these companies is primarily due to escalated cocoa prices.
2025 is anticipated to be a challenging year for the food and beverage industry. A significant part of this outlook is based on the expectation of a static regulatory environment, slow adoption and high discontinuation rates of GLP-1 usage, and normalizing value-seeking shopping behaviors as consumers adjust to higher prices and wage inflation benefits. Many brands within the industry may need to revise their pricing and margin strategies to enhance their value perception among consumers.
Historic levels of underperformance have set 'a low bar' for the U.S. Food group; however, moving towards 2025, signs of stabilizing volume and improved earnings delivery will be key areas of focus.
Here are the latest investment ratings and price targets for $Hershey (HSY.US)$ from 6 analysts:

此外，綜合報道，$好時 (HSY.US)$近期主要分析師觀點如下：
最近可可期貨的顯著上漲可能會影響像好時這樣的公司的收益，特別是在2025年的下半年，而非上半年。這些公司的收益預估調整主要是由於可可價格的上漲。
預計2025年對於食品和飲料行業來說將是一個具有挑戰的一年。這個預測的很大一部分基於對法規環境保持靜態的預期、GLP-1使用緩慢的採用和高的停用率，以及消費者在面對更高價格和工資通脹福利時正常化的追求價值的消費行爲。行業內的許多品牌可能需要調整他們的定價和利潤策略，以增強消費者對其價值的認知。
歷史性的業績不佳爲美國食品行業設定了一個「低標準」；然而，向2025年邁進的過程中，穩定的成交量和改善的收益交付將成爲關鍵關注領域。
