Hershey's Dip Buying Opportunity Is Here - Demand/Margin Risks Entering H2'26 (Rating Upgrade)
H2'26 may bring forth HSY's margin compression from the elevated innovation/marketing efforts and the expensive freight/logistics costs. This is on top of the intermediate-term commodity inflation from the impacted cocoa/sugar supply and the softer demand from the uncertain macroeconomic environment. Fortunately, these headwinds have been embedded in HSY's cheaper P/E of 19.17x and PEG of 1.03x, with the selloff triggering the richer forward dividend yield of 3.57%.
