The Hershey Company (HSY)
Hershey margin recovery expected to begin in Q2, but Jefferies stays on sidelines over volume concerns
Hershey Company (NYSE:HSY, XETRA:HSY) is expected to begin recovering margins in the second quarter as higher-cost cocoa inventory from last year cycles through, but Jefferies maintained a ‘Hold' rating, citing continued weakness in consumer demand and limited evidence of a recovery in sales volumes. Jefferies wrote that the second quarter "should be the first with meaningful year-over-year gross margin expansion," forecasting roughly 300 basis points of improvement as peak-cost inventory laps.
