HSY

In November 2025, Hershey acquired LesserEvil. December 2025 saw insider trading activity and increased stakes from hedge funds like Citadel Advisors and Millennium Management. In February 2026, Hershey's stock surged over 9% following strong Q4 and full-year 2025 results and a dividend increase, despite a 60% profit decline due to operating costs. By March 2026, cocoa prices normalized, and tariff exemptions were in place. In April 2026, Hershey Trust Co. sold stock, and Andrew Archambault departed. In May 2026, the CEO noted increased sales of mints and gum related to GLP-1 drug use. The stock price declined over the last 30 and 90 days, but the one-year return remained positive.
