Across its top 20 institutional holders, HSY's holder base skews toward low-concentration, low-turnover investors on average (avg. concentration score 10/100, avg. turnover score 40/100).
HSY ranks #265 out of 37501 tracked stocks by institutional interest — one of the most closely watched names in our coverage.
HSY is a top-conviction position for Hershey Trust Co — at 100.0% of their entire disclosed 13F portfolio, it's one of their largest single bets, not just a passing allocation.
Morgan Stanley has added to its HSY position for two straight quarters, increasing it by $388.7M to reach $990.7M today.
Balyasny Asset Management L.p. has trimmed its HSY position for two straight quarters, cutting it by $232.1M while still holding $590.0K.
HSY is down 1.3% today, but institutions show net buying of $7.4B this quarter — a divergence between today's price move and the underlying institutional flow.
HSY posted net income of $1.5B over the trailing twelve months.

Offsetting institutional and insider signals leave HSY neutral
Signal Basis
Q2 2026 13F data shows a +$2.13B net increase in institutional positioning, yet net sellers (690) outnumbered net buyers (657) and full exits (180) exceeded new entries (115). Form 4 activity is uniformly negative — zero buys against 191 sales totaling $70.2M over 90 days, concentrated in Hershey Trust Co. as a structural holder — so the two datasets appear to pull in opposite directions.
Confirmation
If the next 13F cycle keeps buyer/seller counts roughly balanced while insiders remain absent from the buy side, the current standoff assessment is reinforced.
Invalidation Risk
Meaningful insider buying, or a decisive turn toward broad institutional distribution, would break the equilibrium and invalidate the neutral call.
This analysis is machine-generated from institutional holders' Form 13F data on SEC EDGAR and limited to historical trends. Not financial advice — see the source filings below.
See the institutional 13F filings behind this signalHSY does not currently show a 13F-and-insider convergence signal — its insider confidence score is 0/100, below the threshold this product uses to flag combined buying pressure.
13F data as of 2026-06-30 quarterly filings. Note: many large institutions file close to the 45-day post-quarter deadline, so early-quarter flow figures can shift substantially as more filings arrive.
