Hershey Co. Looks to China's Sweet Tooth to Boost Top Line

It hasn't been all sweet for Hershey Co. this year -- the company is down in 2014, in part thanks to it barely being able to keep ahead of analyst expectations. Next, the Pennsylvania chocolate champion is turning to China with M&A, where it hopes to take hold of the world's second biggest chocolate market next year. Some analysts are hitching targets in the $90s to Hershey, which doesn't reflect a lot of optimism going forward. However, the company is still expected to declare a sizable dividend to investors next month, and we're waiting on earnings coming from Hershey at the end of October.
