Financial Health Signals

Financial Profile 51/100

Based on FY2025 annual data. Scores normalized against common benchmarks. How we calculate these scores

Profitability

Hershey Co has an operating margin of 12.3%, meaning the company retains $12 of operating profit per $100 of revenue. This results in a moderate score of 50/100, indicating healthy but not exceptional operating efficiency. This is down from 25.9% the prior year.

Growth

Hershey Co's revenue grew a modest 4.4% year-over-year to $11.7B. This slow but positive growth earns a score of 41/100.

Leverage

Hershey Co carries a low D/E ratio of 1.01, meaning only $1.01 of long-term debt for every $1 of shareholders' equity. This conservative leverage earns a score of 81/100, indicating a strong balance sheet with room for future borrowing.

Liquidity

Hershey Co's current ratio of 1.19 means current assets barely cover short-term liabilities. This tight liquidity results in a low score of 19/100, which could limit financial flexibility.

Cash Flow

Hershey Co has a free cash flow margin of 15.6%, earning a moderate score of 64/100. The company generates positive cash flow after capital investments, but with room for improvement.

Returns

Hershey Co's ROE of 19.1% shows moderate profitability relative to equity, earning a score of 53/100. This is down from 47.1% the prior year.

Altman Z-Score Safe

4.56

Hershey Co scores 4.56, well above the 2.99 safe threshold. The score is driven primarily by a large market capitalization ($41.8B) relative to total liabilities ($9.1B). This indicates low bankruptcy risk based on profitability, leverage, and asset efficiency.

Piotroski F-Score Neutral

4/9

Hershey Co passes 4 of 9 financial strength tests. 3 of 4 profitability signals pass, 1 of 3 leverage/liquidity signals pass, neither operating efficiency signal passes.

Earnings Quality Cash-Backed

2.58x

For every $1 of reported earnings, Hershey Co generates $2.58 in operating cash flow ($2.3B OCF vs $883.3M net income). This indicates profits are well-supported by actual cash generation, not accounting adjustments.

Interest Coverage Safe

6.4x

Hershey Co earns $6.4 in operating income for every $1 of interest expense ($1.4B vs $224.8M). This wide margin provides strong safety for debt servicing, even if earnings decline temporarily.
