Hershey’s Outlook Tops Estimates on Price Hikes, New Items

Hershey Co. offered a better-than-expected 2026 outlook, saying higher prices and new products would bolster the candymaker’s performance.

The Pennsylvania-based maker of Hershey’s chocolates and Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups sees adjusted earnings per share of $8.20 to $8.52. The low-end of that range topped Wall Street estimates by about 15%.
