NEUTRAL IMPACT
Hershey's has seen a rise in short interest, but remains below the peer average. This could indicate bearish sentiment but isn't a definitive predictor of immediate stock price movement.
While the increase in short interest for Hershey's suggests that some investors are expecting the price to fall, the fact that it is still below the peer group average means the sentiment is not overwhelmingly negative. Additionally, short interest alone is not a reliable indicator of immediate stock price movement, and the article suggests that increasing short interest can sometimes be bullish.
