Some of the best income investments are the stocks of brands people buy every day in the grocery store. People have been drinking Coca-Cola (KO 1.02%) and eating Hershey (HSY -0.19%) chocolate for over 100 years, and that's not likely going to change.

In the most recent trading session, Hershey (HSY) closed at $192.58, indicating a -1.52% shift from the previous trading day.

HSY may report a rich 2026 margin recovery, thanks to the drastically moderating sugar/cocoa spot prices and the recent price hikes. These imply that the confectionery may potentially achieve the rich 2026 adj. EPS performance of over ~$10 and the 2030 adj. EPS growth target at a CAGR of "6%-8%." Otherwise, I urge readers to temper their near-term expectations, since HSY may deliver an underwhelming FQ3'25 earnings call attributed to intensifying competitive pressure and tougher YoY comparison.
