Hershey

Hershey is a leading confectionery manufacturer in the us (around a $25 billion market), controlling around 36% of the domestic chocolate space (per Euromonitor). Beyond its namesake label, the firm's mix has expanded over the last 85 years and now consists of 100 brands, including Reese's, Kit Kat, Kisses, and Ice Breakers. Hershey's products are sold in about 80 countries, albeit with just a high-single-digit percentage of sales coming from markets outside the us, including Brazil, India, and Mexico. The firm has sought inorganic opportunities to extend its reach beyond its core confection business, adding Amplify Snack Brands and its Skinny Pop ready-to-eat popcorn to its mix, Pirate Brands, and Dot's Pretzels over the past few years.

The company reported third-quarter adjusted earnings per share of $2.34, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/11/n41801901/hershey-reports-third-quarter-2024-financial-results-updates-2024-net-sales-and-earnings-outlook" rel="noreferrer noopener">missing the street view of $2.56</a>. Quarterly sales of $2.987 billion (down 1.4%) missed the analyst consensus of $3.077 billion.
Organic net sales dropped 1.0%, as higher prices were offset by lower volume across segments and reduced inventory in North America Salty Snacks ahead of the ERP system rollout in the fourth quarter of 2023.
&#8220;While year-to-date results have been affected by historically high cocoa prices and a challenging consumer environment, we are laser-focused on controlling what we can and are acting with immediacy to deliver value to customers, consumers and shareholders,&#8221; said&nbsp;Michele Buck, Hershey President and Chief Executive Officer.

Adjusted gross margin was 40.3% in the quarter under review, down 460 basis points from the year-ago period.
This decline was due to higher commodity costs, timing issues, fixed cost increases, and unfavorable product mix, despite price hikes and productivity gains.

It's not just equities that surged—top cryptocurrency Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) continued to gain momentum, scaling a new all-time high of $76,460.15. At the time of writing, Bitcoin was trading at $74,967.38, up by 1.48% in the last 24 hours.
Insights From Analysts:
Veteran investor Mark Mobius, chairman of Mobius Emerging Opportunities Fund, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/">told</a> CNBC that a Trump victory would not just be good for the U.S. economy, but also for emerging ones.
A decisive Trump victory would lead to "lots of deregulation," according to Mobius, which would also be "very good" for emerging countries.
"One of the things [I observe] as I travel around the world, is the incredible impact of U.S. regulations on these countries regarding the transfer of funds, know your customer… hopefully, that will go down the drain and there will be much freer trade and much freer movement of currencies."
Ryan Detrick, chief market strategist at Carson Group, highlighted that the U.S. equity markets have already hit new all-time highs 48 times in 2024, with nearly two months still to go.
Per Detrick's analysis, this could mean the U.S. markets could witness 56 all-time highs in 2024, which would make it the fifth most in history.
He is also bullish on the impact of a potential Fed rate cut on U.S. equities. He noted that when the Fed cut rates at a time when the S&amp;P 500 was near an all-time high, it resulted in stocks being higher a year later.
"They&#8217;ve done this 20 other times and a year later stocks were higher 20 times. As we&#8217;ve been saying all year, the Fed is a tailwind."

</figure>
According to CME Group's FedWatch tool, markets are currently anticipating a 100% chance of a rate cut. Powell's remarks in the press conference will be worth looking out for, though, as investors look for guidance on the future trajectory of rate action.
On the economic data front, U.S. mortgage applications fell by 10.8% from the previous week in the week ended Nov. 1.
U.S. crude oil inventories increased by 2.149 million barrels in the week ended Nov. 1, compared to market estimates of a 1.8 million gain.

In September, Greene <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/09/41031499/marjorie-taylor-greene-stays-loyal-to-trump-keeps-djt-stock-buys-into-warren-buffetts-berkshire-in-l">also bought </a>Berkshire Hathaway and Intel shares.
In May, Greene <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/05/38611874/marjorie-taylor-greene-reveals-new-stock-trades-after-2-year-gap-berkshire-hathway-goldman-sachs">disclosed her first </a>stock purchases in several years, which included Berkshire Hathaway and Hershey shares.
Since May, Greene has been actively trading and adding to positions with a strong interest in technology companies and chip stocks.
Greene's latest positions could raise red flags similar to other investments as she is on the Subcommittee on Cybersecurity, Information Technology, and Government Innovation. The representative is also on the Subcommittee on Government Operations and the Federal Workforce.
Knowledge of technology and cybersecurity deals could help several stocks held in her portfolio.

</ul>
Why It's Important: Greene could also be positioning her portfolio based on the 2024 presidential election, a race which sees the representative supporting Donald Trump.
Chip stocks and technology companies were among <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/10/41584466/these-10-stocks-were-the-best-s-p-500-performers-in-2017-when-trump-was-president-will-history-r">the best performing </a>in the S&amp;P 500 in 2017, Trump's first year in the White House previously. Energy stocks <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/10/41606114/10-s-p-500-stocks-were-worst-performers-in-first-year-of-trumps-presidency-will-they-sink-again">underperformed in 2017,</a> which could make Greene's buy of Duke Energy a bit of a surprise if she is betting on a Trump victory.
Tesla is expected to be a company that benefits from a Trump victory. Tesla CEO Elon Musk endorsed Trump for president and could have a role in Trump's White House.
Trump has spoken out against electric vehicles and wants to eliminate consumer tax breaks for EVs. Tesla could benefit from the elimination of subsidies and tax breaks as they could be more harmful to competitors in the electric vehicle space and not hurt Tesla as much as its peers.
While Greene has been actively buying stocks over the last several months, she has not reported selling her shares of Trump Media &amp; Technology (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DJT#NASDAQ">DJT</a>), the Trump co-founded media company that completed a SPAC merger earlier this year.
Greene disclosed buying Digital World Acquisition shares back in October 2021, the SPAC that took Trump&#8217;s media company public in March 2024.
The transaction was done with shares trading between $67.96 to $118.80. A tweet from UnusualWhales pins the purchase price at $94.20, meaning Greene is down significantly on her $15,000 to $50,000 purchase in the Trump-linked stock. Shares of DJT trade at $39.13 at the time of writing.
With the latest stock transactions, Greene increased her holdings in technology stocks along with placing bets on Buffett to continue powering Berkshire Hathaway as the stock trades near a $1 trillion market cap.
Not many can say that their investing portfolios are betting on Trump, Musk and Buffett, but Greene can.

In the current session, Hershey Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HSY#NYSE">HSY</a>) is trading at $184.85, after a 0.44% drop. Over the past month, the stock fell by 4.39%, and in the past year, by 2.86%. With performance like this, long-term shareholders are more likely to start looking into the company's price-to-earnings ratio. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1729533610_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>How Does Hershey P/E Compare to Other Companies?</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 34.02 in the Food Products industry, Hershey Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 20.56. Shareholders might be inclined to think that the stock might perform worse than it's industry peers. It's also possible that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1729533610_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes.
