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，尤其是在2025年下半年比上半年影響更大。這些公司的收益預期調整主要是由於可可價格的上漲。
2025年預計將是食品和飲料行業的一個挑戰年。這一前景的很大一部分基於對靜態監管環境的預期、GLP-1使用的緩慢採用和高淘汰率，以及消費者適應更高價格和工資通脹福利後的正常價值尋求購物行爲。行業內的許多品牌可能需要調整他們的定價和利潤策略，以增強其在消費者心中的價值感。
歷史性的低表現爲美國食品集團設定了一個『低門檻』；然而，向2025年邁進時，成交量的穩定和收益的改善將是關鍵的關注領域。
