Why?

Sky-high cocoa prices, which have been eating into its sales.
voice-verified
The price of that key chocolate ingredient has been on the rise due to adverse weather hurting the areas where cocoa's grown.
voice-verified
That, plus global inflation pushing consumer goods prices higher, has made cocoa-based candies more expensive than ever in 2024, for Hershey and its rivals.

Investors, in turn, did not have much of a sweet tooth after the report.
voice-verified
And Hershey shares lost about 2.2 percent Thursday, notching a weekly decline of 2 percent.

I'm Francesca Fontana for The Wall Street Journal, and this is What's News in Markets, our look at the biggest stock moves of the week and the news that drove them.
voice-verified
Let's get to it.
voice-verified
All eyes were on earnings this week, and there was no shortage of results for investors to digest.
voice-verified

voice-verified
And there were some big names in there, including Coca-Cola, IBM, and Tesla.
voice-verified
So during the week, we got to see how some of these reports affected the overall market.
voice-verified
For instance, when Tesla's better-than-expected earnings sparked a big rally in its shares on Thursday — a 22 percent jump, to be exact — which led other tech stocks higher as well.
