Hershey upgraded to bullish on cocoa deflation, strong Q2, and raised guidance, eyeing $200 by 2027.

The Hershey Company has been upgraded to a bullish rating due to easing cocoa and oil cost pressures, strong Q2 earnings that beat expectations, and raised full-year guidance. The company showed resilience by expanding margins and maintaining dividend growth despite previous EPS declines. With EPS expected to grow at double digits, the stock is projected to reach $200 by 2027, trading currently at a reasonable valuation with a 3.32% dividend yield. This outlook reflects improved logistics and strong execution by management amid commodity headwinds.
