Hershey Co said sales and earnings growth would slow next year, as costs for ingredients remain high, sending its shares down 4 percent. The company, whose shares have outperformed its peers this year, forecast 2012 sales and earnings growth in line with its long-term targets, which call for increases of 3 percent to 5 percent for sales and 6 to 8 percent for earnings.
