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.

戴维森信托分析师Brian Holland维持$好时 (HSY.US)$持有评级，目标价187美元。
根据TipRanks数据显示，该分析师近一年总胜率为52.6%，总平均回报率为6.4%。
此外，综合报道，$好时 (HSY.US)$近期主要分析师观点如下：
对于投资者来说，要考虑超越可可成本上涨对好时在2025年之前业绩的预期影响，而将注意力集中在2026年成本预计将恢复正常时实现异常增长的可能性上，证明核心巧克力市场份额趋势的改善将变得越来越重要。
该公司经历了一个充满挑战的季度，其特点是盈利能力疲软，所有三个细分市场的有机增长预期均未得到满足。这受到各种因素的影响，包括市场、消费者和渠道挑战，以及执行方面的挫折。
预计Hershey将出现第三季度的短缺以及2024年的预期下降。但是，更出乎意料的是，有迹象表明，2025年的收益将面临更大的不利影响，超过了所有现有的卖方预测，尤其是在市场份额向自有品牌转移以及采用 GLP-1 所产生的微小影响的情况下。
