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，综合报道，$好时 (HSY.US)$近期主要分析师观点如下：
最近可可期货的显著上涨可能会影响像好时这样的公司的收益，尤其是在2025年下半年比上半年影响更大。这些公司的收益预期调整主要是由于可可价格的上涨。
2025年预计将是食品和饮料行业的一个挑战年。这一前景的很大一部分基于对静态监管环境的预期、GLP-1使用的缓慢采用和高淘汰率，以及消费者适应更高价格和工资通胀福利后的正常价值寻求购物行为。行业内的许多品牌可能需要调整他们的定价和利润策略，以增强其在消费者心中的价值感。
历史性的低表现为美国食品集团设定了一个‘低门槛’；然而，向2025年迈进时，成交量的稳定和收益的改善将是关键的关注领域。
