$PEP $ko $HSY anyone catch CNBC fast money last night when they talked the threat of changes for cutting certain ingredients and additives in packaged foods? They also mentioned the SNAP program and how they might limit or take out certain food products available to be purchased. I believe the second point is the main reason for the sell-off.

$HSY i wouldn't look at anything but the circumstances that led to this price point. Chocolate is imported. What did Trump say about imports again? That doesn't cover the problems and pressures cocoa farms are currently experiencing either. Stay away.

$HSY see you 190

User Image Bugislaus Posted - 2 days ago

$HSY : Opportunity or Risk at $170? The iconic chocolate maker is sitting near its 52-week low, just 0.26% above it, with a P/E of 19.6, slightly below the S&P 500 average. While dividend investors might like the 3.12% yield and sustainable payout ratio (49.2%), the growth story seems less sweet: EPS Growth Concerns: EPS this year is down -5.14%, and analysts expect another -9.04% decline next year. Revenue Stability: 2023 revenue grew 7.16%, but higher cocoa prices and shifting consumer trends are squeezing margins. Valuation vs. Peers: Mondelez and Nestlé trade at higher P/Es, but HSY's debt/equity ratio of 1.34 raises questions about its leverage. On the plus side: RSI (14) at 33.89 indicates oversold territory. Strong profitability metrics like ROE of 43.41% and dominant market share in confectionery give it a defensive edge. Key Question: At $170, is Hershey a value play with room for a rebound, or does its slowing growth signal more downside? What's your take?

Is the market way too pessimistic on Hershey’s $HSY?? This stock is trading for just an 18x earnings multiple, is sitting at a 3.2% dividend yield and we can expect 7%+ long-term eps growth. I think Hershey looks pretty solid here! 🤷‍♂️

@JustKen You are exactly correct in your approach to this stock, also look at $WTRG and $HSY both are similar in effect.
