Hershey is facing a shifting narrative due to cocoa relief but continues to demonstrate financial stability. Major investors including
Benjamin Edwards and
Park Avenue Securities LLC are purchasing significant stakes in the company, while
companies like Apollon Wealth Management LLC, Boston Trust Walden Corp and Holocene Advisors LP are reducing their holdings. A significant leadership change is imminent as
Kirk Tanner is set to take over as CEO in August 2025. The company is doing well in the market, outperforming in some areas, but there are concerns about future growth as short interest increases. The outside investment into Hersheys continues with major buy-in from
Douglas Lane Associates and
Oak Thistle LLC. Despite some market decline, Hershey remains attractive to investors predicting a price spike soon.
The company has not forgotten its core business, launching a new gummy candy and a
Dubai-inspired chocolate bar. On the
sustainability front, Hershey is making strides with its latest responsible business report while also expanding its product range as it completes the acquisition of Lesser Evil. Hershey continues to make management appointments and reshuffle including
Tiffany Menyhart as Chief Customer Officer and
Stacy Taffet as Chief Growth Officer. The
second and
third quarter of 2025 has seen notable financial performance by the company.
