Hershey 's stock has fallen over 40% from its peak, which is shocking considering the broader stock market is at all-time highs.

Hershey is dealing with crushing margin pressure and fears that GLP-1 agonists, a popular weight loss drug, are turning consumers away from sweets.

But if you dig deeper, the stock could be among the best deals on Wall Street.

The Motley Fool Stock Advisor analyst team identified what they believe are the 10 best stocks for investors to buy now and Hershey wasn’t one of them.

Consider when Nvidia made this list on April 15, 2005 ... if you invested $ 1,000 at the time of our recommendation, you’d have $ 850,946 !.
