bear call spread on HSY over earningsThe weekly chart looks like death. Monthly doesn't look a lot better for the bulls.
PLUS, this gap on a Monday? Bear gap and go?
AND you can get $1.25 credit? on a $10 spread for less than 40 days. I dig it
HSY trade ideas
HSY Triple Top - Crawling Into EarningsBearish technical setup for HSY coming into their Q3 Earning's on 11/7. Anything less than a big beat could take Hershey down to new lows at around $170 support.
HSY Trends, Price targets, projectionsLots of talk around this one.
Makes sense with swing state
Michigan and F probably having a similar issue
Either way, they make some good candy
Long term has been historically really good
Long term doesn't predict future
I'm leaving this mostly neutral because I have an idea/guess to the heading but I'm not at all confident in that.
If you want to know, leading towards bullish, barely. All depends on which trends start to break out and confirm movements and which price targets.
Either way, timing is weird for a swing state which may mean absolutely nothing, but still. Weird enough to question.
Push all politics aside, Do they make something good, lasting and sells itself?
Do you believe in it long term enough that even should you screw up a trade, you're backed up in the bullish direction.
When to enter?
Again, I'm just not sure at the moment.
Good luck and hope this chart might help!
Hershey ready to moveI took a position in hershey for a few reasons. One is that it is at the bottom of the range, second is that it is showing bullish divergence on the MACD, and third is because the price of COCOA looks to me as if it is on its way to test the 200 week SMA (50%) down.
Cocoa down 50% will be a direct tailwind for this company.
All things considered above, you can also say that at 18 p.E this is a relatively cheap stock relative to the rest of the market, and it is indeed growing EPS at a fairly good rate.
Brand is solid as well.
HSY rebounding from support.HSY has been in a channel since Oct. 2023 after falling from highs of $276 in 2023. Right now, it is just rebounding from a strong support level from the $180ish level. Expect to test resistance at $210.
Chocolate makes you happy? Why not have both ? Eat the chocolate and make the profits , haha?
Wait for it or nibble some when it breaches the resistance at 193.53 or wait for it to fall further to the support level at 174.58.....
Christmas is coming ......what other better gifts than chocolate, the old tradition?
Hershey Company - Bullish trend incomingHershey has completed the accumulative range of 6-month after the stock broke out of the range at 204.03 resistance turned support. Prices has also trends above all Ichimoku indicators and is likely to trend higher targeting 227.49, 238.96 and 259.44.
Furthermore, all momentum indicators are showing strong bullish sentiment
Hershey 41924Hershey in a clear bottom of the range and buy zone. I see it moving higher where many are calling it lower bc of cocoa prices. I just see it doing the opposite of what the herd believes. Bullish af on REAL THINGS and chocolate is a huge industry that will grow. When times get tough, ppl always seek out comfort . Hershey is that comfort. In a crazy scenario it could follow cocoa not get pushed down further esp if cocoa backs off and remains stable. The buck passed down to the customer who always pays it

Short $HSY short opportunity for NYSE:HSY ?
NYSE:HSY looks like a great short opportunity to me for the following reasons:
- Apparent stage four decline (stage analysis)
- Bear flag chart pattern on all time frames, especially longer-term.
- Fibonacci confluence.
Time to load up on this counter - HSYIt has come down more than 33% from its peak and the staggering high cocoa price has not help in the share price at all.
Support zone (buying zone) is around 170-183 price level which I will start buying slowly.
Please DYODD
A good chocolates Earnings was not so exiting because of cocoa overpriced
Price near lower border of short term channel up can be a good entry point with a target of 207$ next week
Can also be interesting under a long term view
Hershey Company Unveils Aggressive Cost-Cutting MeasuresThe Hershey Company (NYSE: NYSE:HSY ) has announced a two-year restructuring program aimed at generating substantial cost savings. This initiative comes in response to recent quarterly performance that fell short of Wall Street expectations, coupled with concerns about consumer spending trends and rising input costs.
The maker of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups plans to trim approximately $300 million in pre-tax expenses through the restructuring effort. While this news initially boosted investor sentiment, it highlights the challenges facing Hershey ( NYSE:HSY ) in navigating a competitive landscape with shifting consumer behaviors and economic uncertainties.
The restructuring, expected to impact less than 5% of the company's workforce, will entail up to $60 million in severance expenses. Hershey ( NYSE:HSY ) is committed to optimizing operational efficiency and agility in the face of evolving market dynamics.
However, Hershey's struggles are not isolated. Industry peer, Mondelez International (NASDAQ: NASDAQ:MDLZ ), also reported volume declines in the fourth quarter. Both companies cite factors such as inflation and price hikes deterring consumer spending on indulgent treats like chocolates and candies.
Future Outlook
Looking ahead, Hershey's outlook for 2024 remains cautious, with projected net sales growth of 2% to 3% year-on-year falling short of analyst estimates. Similarly, adjusted earnings per share are anticipated to remain flat compared to the previous year, a departure from analysts' expectations of growth. CEO Michele Buck has attributed these conservative forecasts to anticipated challenges, including elevated cocoa prices exerting pressure on profit margins.
Despite the tempered outlook, Hershey ( NYSE:HSY ) remains committed to delivering value to its shareholders, evidenced by a 15% increase in quarterly dividends. The company boasts a global workforce of approximately 18,075 full-time and 1,790 part-time employees, underscoring its significance as a major employer.
Conclusion:
The Hershey Company's ( NYSE:HSY ) unveiling of a comprehensive cost-cutting initiative amidst lackluster forecasts highlights the complex realities facing consumer goods companies in today's volatile market environment. As it embarks on this ambitious restructuring journey, Hershey ( NYSE:HSY ) remains focused on enhancing operational efficiency, adapting to evolving consumer preferences, and delivering long-term value to stakeholders in the face of formidable challenges.

HSY - Long term opportunityI tend to focus on technical plays. I like Hershey here, but more so for fundamental reasons.
Management's recent earnings forecast is solid; management also tends to be conservative in estimates.
The company certainly faces headwinds that shouldn't be ignored - continued inflation, the attention weight loss drugs are getting, and cocoa prices are at multi-decade highs.
Current PE is 19.64 while the historical PE ratio over the last five years is 24.75. That's 26% above where it currently stands. There may be some further downside, but I think ultimately much of the risk is priced into the stock.
HSY pays a dividend, but I don't see the yield at 2.6% as very material.
Alas, even on long-term buys, I focus on technical indicators to support the timing of entry. In this case, we have a stock at a 24-month low sitting at strong support. The MACD is showing positive divergence, as well.
I plan to play this by writing aggressive near the money puts in the volume shelf. Should I take ownership, I'll write covered calls.
Not a recommendation.
$HSY Fibonacci Support & PivotNYSE:HSY Fibonacci Support & Pivot at 152.20 and 618 Fib Support "Fibonacci support is a key level in technical analysis derived from the Fibonacci sequence. Traders use these levels to identify potential price reversals or areas where an asset may find support.

Buy HersheyI beleive this is a Buy! Consistent Increased Revenue, Gross Profit, and Net Income since 1985.
They broke out of this price point in late 2021, and now have came back down to a double bottom.
Take Opportunity!Hitting 200MA on the weekly chart coinciding with Fib 0.618.
Big time oversold to date. X'mas is just around the corner giving some boost to Hershey sales.
I would start accumulating this stock and hope for a strong rebound from here.
Long hershey!This may not work, because the 200 week SMA seems like the best support in this scenario...
HOWEVER, we have massive bullish divergence on the MACD, the RSI is oversold and also starting to diverge, were at a reasonable support, and the rest of the market is rallying.
ALSO - cocoa futures and sugar may have topped, i think this helps here...
