D.A. Davidson analyst Brian Holland maintains $Hershey (HSY.US)$ with a hold rating, and sets the target price at $187.
According to TipRanks data, the analyst has a success rate of 52.6% and a total average return of 6.4% over the past year.
Furthermore, according to the comprehensive report, the opinions of $Hershey (HSY.US)$'s main analysts recently are as follows:
For investors to consider looking beyond the anticipated impact of higher cocoa costs on Hershey's performance leading up to 2025, and to focus on the possibility of exceptional growth in 2026 when costs are expected to normalize, it will become increasingly important for the company to demonstrate improved core chocolate market share trends.
The company has experienced a challenging quarter, characterized by weaker profitability and unmet organic growth expectations across all three segments. This was influenced by various factors including market, consumer, and channel challenges, coupled with executional setbacks.
It was anticipated that Hershey's third-quarter shortfall and the decrease in guidance for 2024 would occur. More unexpected, however, was the indication of a more substantial earnings headwind for the year 2025, which surpassed all existing sell-side projections, especially in light of market share shifts towards private label and the slight impact from GLP-1 adoption.

戴維森信託分析師Brian Holland維持$好時 (HSY.US)$持有評級，目標價187美元。
根據TipRanks數據顯示，該分析師近一年總勝率為52.6%，總平均回報率為6.4%。
此外，綜合報道，$好時 (HSY.US)$近期主要分析師觀點如下：
對於投資者來說，要考慮超越可可成本上漲對好時在2025年之前業績的預期影響，而將注意力集中在2026年成本預計將恢復正常時實現異常增長的可能性上，證明核心巧克力市場份額趨勢的改善將變得越來越重要。
該公司經歷了一個充滿挑戰的季度，其特點是盈利能力疲軟，所有三個細分市場的有機增長預期均未得到滿足。這受到各種因素的影響，包括市場、消費者和渠道挑戰，以及執行方面的挫折。
預計Hershey將出現第三季度的短缺以及2024年的預期下降。但是，更出乎意料的是，有跡象表明，2025年的收益將面臨更大的不利影響，超過了所有現有的賣方預測，尤其是在市場份額向自有品牌轉移以及採用 GLP-1 所產生的微小影響的情況下。
