The Hershey Company (HSY) has had a tumultuous time lately, marked by noticeable
leadership changes such as new appointments in its Confection and Salty divisions, and a CEO succession plan announced. Multiple institutional shareholders, including Woodstock Corp and Avanza Fonder AB, have increased their stakes, signifying a strong belief in the company's prospects. Further, suggestions that Hershey could be a millionaire-maker stock and a good contrarian pick for long-term investors have circulated. Despite this, the company hasn't had all positive news, having reportedly missed recent earnings expectations. A controversy has also arisen around high levels of a banned chemical detected in Hershey's packaging. Significantly, Hershey's Trust reportedly rejected a buyout bid from Mondelez, causing their stock to surge, and there are expectations of key financial results in February 2024. However, Hershey has faced layoffs, a cut in the full-year sales outlook due to decreased consumer spending, and a recent share decrease by Nordea Investment Management AB. With a fluctuating narrative, the future growth and success of Hershey's remains to be seen.
