What the score says about HSY right now
The Hershey Company (HSY) currently scores 37/100 on the Market Census six-factor composite, at the Below average score level. HSY is +0.12% on the day and +1.36% over five sessions as of the most recent tick. Below average sits a bit below the middle. More of HSY's data reads poorly than well. The level is a "look before you act" flag. It is not advice. HSY's strongest factor is company finances at 54/100 — a fairly good read on the company's own reported numbers. A high reading doesn't promise a near-term move. The weakest factor is insider trades at 10/100 — a well below average read on insider buying and selling. Insider filings for HSY lean toward selling; on a thinly filed name a few filings can set this reading.

This page is free to read with no account at all. Signing up takes an email and a password: a free account runs the scanner on the top 10 scored rows of any scan, keeps one saved screen, a 5-ticker watchlist, and opens 12 ticker detail pages a day. The card is what starts a 30-day Premium trial — $0 that day, then $19.99/month from day 30, cancel online any time before then — and that is what turns on every matching row instead of the first 10, alerts, the 200-ticker watchlist and recent insider buys (SEC Form 4).
