In the fourth quarter of 2025, North America Confectionery sales increased 5.3% to $2.48 billion, supported primarily by nearly 10 points of pricing contribution. However, volumes declined about 5 points, reflecting the impact of higher prices on consumer demand. At the consolidated level, organic constant-currency sales rose 5.7%, driven by around 9% pricing, while overall volume and mix fell 3%. This dynamic underscores that recent growth has been largely price-driven rather than demand-led. The pressure on volumes stems from elasticity effects following successive price increases related to elevated cocoa costs. While elasticity trends have so far been more favorable than initially anticipated, volume softness remains evident across both domestic confectionery and international markets. Pricing actions taken in 2025 are still being absorbed, with some price-pack adjustments and retail resets continuing to flow through. Zacks Investment Research Image Source: Zacks Investment
