THE HERSHEY COMPANY (HSY)

Cocoa prices saw an unprecedented surge, rising more than fourfold to over $12,000 per ton before sharply correcting to around $6,000 by mid 2025.

As input costs ease, HSY appears to be completing a multi-year price discovery point and figure triangle, a bullish signal and one of the first signs in years of improving technical attributes. The stock may be one to watch, especially for advisors seeking stability amid ongoing market uncertainty.
