December, some Hershey (NYSE: HSY) investors might have thought their Christmas was coming early. A media report stated that a deep-pocketed suitor had made a preliminary offer to buy out the company.
The Hershey Trust, which controls a significant portion of Hershey's voting stock, has rejected a buyout offer from Mondelez International, the maker of Oreo and Cadbury. Mondelez had proposed a deal that would have valued Hershey at over $120 billion, but the Trust deemed the offer insufficient.
