Who doesn’t like chocolate? I mean come on! I’ve never met someone who doesn’t like chocolate.
I got curious and checked out this stock and I have to honestly say I was shocked. ON SALE with a sticker price of $1,733? Wow! Talk about a deal!
Apparently, Hershey was been one of the best candy stocks to invest in for decades. In fact, Warren Buffett is a big investor in Hershey.
The Hershey brand includes Reese’s, Kit Kat, Ice Breakers, Hershey Kisses, and the staple Hershey chocolate bar. I don’t know about you but I’ll take some of that dark chocolate.
I did a little homework on the competition. Check this out…
Second to HSY is TR (Tootsie Roll Industries). The brands include DOTS, Charms, Blow Pop, and Tootsie Roll. The share price is $34.26 but the sticker price is $7.95. The MOS is -330%. Not a wise investment.
Third to HSY is MDLZ (Mondelez International). The brands include Oreo, Halls, Tang, Trident, Triscuit, and more. The share price is $51 but the sticker price is $3.50. Ouch! The MOS is -1,352%. They definitely do NOT compete.
But seriously, if a Hershey Bar (king size of course), Box of Dots, or a sleeve of Oreo’s were placed on the table, what would you pick?
