Hershey is among the few major companies that aren't getting crushed on this "special dark" kind of day for the broader market.

Hershey (HSY) shares are up slightly and even hit a new record high today. The stock is now up nearly 20% this year. The candy maker reported earnings and sales that topped forecasts a few weeks ago.

Why isn't the United States' trade tension with China hurting the company? It helps that nearly 85% of Hershey's total sales come from the US.

Or maybe investors are just stress eating Kisses and Mr. Goodbars while the Dow plunges 600 points.
