GreensKeeper Value Fund Michael P. McCloskey | “Hershey's benefited from retreating cocoa costs and resilient consumer demand despite previous price increases. The manager's thesis is validated by Hershey's strong brand equity, which protects its competitive position, while its expansion into salty snacks offers additional earnings diversification.” | BULL | Q1 2026 Apr 26, 2026 | View Pitch |
The Davenport Value & Income Fund George L. Smith III, Michael S. Beall, Adam Bergman | “Hershey was sold after cocoa commodity costs remained stubbornly elevated, leading to a projected 30% earnings decline. The business faces a host of multi-year structural headwinds including the rise of weight-loss drugs, declining foot traffic, and policy initiatives targeting wellness. The manager decided to allocate capital to other beverage holdings instead.” | BEAR | Q1 2025 Mar 31, 2025 | View Pitch |
