Alani Nu products did not adequately disclose the cardiac risks associated with their consumption; by marketing Alani Nu beverages to consumers under the age of 18, the Company targeted individuals who were particularly susceptible to the products' known health risks; consequently, there was a material risk that consumers of Alani Nu products could suffer potentially fatal adverse health events; the disclosure of these risks was likely to significantly harm the Company's business and reputation; and as a result, Defendants' positive statements concerning the Company's business, operations, compliance policies, and prospects were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.What's Next for Celsius Investors?

NEW YORK, Sept. 08, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pomerantz LLP announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed against Celsius Holdings, Inc. ("Celsius" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: CELH) and certain officers. The class action, filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida, and docketed under 26-cv-62465, is on behalf of a class consisting of all persons and entities other than Defendants that purchased or otherwise acquired Celsius securities between February 21, 2025 and June 3, 2026, both dates inclusive (the "Class Period"), seeking to recover damages caused by Defendants' violations of the federal securities laws and to pursue remedies under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, against the Company and certain of its top officials.
If you are an investor who purchased or otherwise acquired Celsius securities during the Class Period, you have until November 3, 2026, to ask the Court to appoint you as Lead Plaintiff for the class. A copy of the Complaint can be obtained at www.pomerantzlaw.com. To discuss this action, contact Danielle Peyton at [email protected] or 646-581-9980 (or 888.4-POMLAW), toll-free, Ext. 7980. Those who inquire by e-mail are encouraged to include their mailing address, telephone number, and the number of shares purchased.

Celsius develops, processes, manufactures, markets, sells, and distributes products including energy drinks.
On April 1, 2025, Celsius closed the acquisition of Alani Nutrition LLC ("Alani Nu"), a maker of highly caffeinated energy drinks (described in greater detail below), for a net purchase price of $1.65 billion, comprised of cash and stock.
At all relevant times, Defendants represented that their products, including specifically Alani Nu drinks, were safe and healthy. For example, as of the time this Complaint was filed, Alani Nu's website continues to represent that "we use ingredients you can feel good about without compromising taste."
However, in contrast to Defendants' representations, Alani Nu drinks present serious risks due to the amount of caffeine they contain. A single 12-ounce Alani Nu drink contains 200 milligrams of caffeine, more than other popular energy drinks and more than twice the 100-milligram daily limit of caffeine recommended for teenagers and children aged 12 to 17, according to leading bodies of pediatricians and adolescent psychiatrists. The Center for Disease Control has stated that consumption of energy drinks in this age range can lead to cardiovascular issues ranging from irregular heartbeat to heart failure.
Alani Nu drinks have previously been the subject of regulatory action. In August of 2023, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency warned Canadians "[d]o not consume, use, sell, serve, or distribute" Alani Nu energy drinks, stating that the drinks "are being recalled from the marketplace due to various non-compliances related to caffeine content and labelling requirements." Specifically, Alani Nu's caffeine content exceeded Canada's legal limit of 180 milligrams for a single-serving energy drink.
Despite the risks that Alani Nu drinks present to consumers under the age of 18, Defendants at all relevant times have marketed these drinks to such consumers despite asserting their purported commitment not to do so. Alani Nu drinks are packaged in dynamic, bright colors, and Alani Nu actively recruits college students to join the "Alani Ambassadors" program and market Alani Nu products using their profiles on social media platforms such as Instagram and TikTok. As of the filing of this Complaint, the Alani Nu website even concedes that Defendants work with individuals whose social media audiences are comprised up to 25% of individuals under the age of 18.
While the labels on Alani Nu energy drinks state the amount of caffeine one can contains and generally state that they are "not recommended for consumption by children", they contain no similar cautionary language with respect to teenagers.
The complaint alleges that, throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and misleading statements regarding the Company's business, operations, and compliance policies. Specifically, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) Defendants' products failed to adequately disclose the cardiac risks of consuming Alani Nu products; (ii) by marketing Alani Nu drinks to consumers under the age of 18, the Company was marketing its products to individuals who were particularly susceptible to known health risks posed by those products; (iii) the foregoing created a non-speculative risk that Alani Nu consumers would suffer potentially fatal adverse health events; (iv) the foregoing, once revealed, was likely to have a significant negative impact on the Company's business and reputation; and (v) as a result, Defendants' public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.
The truth began to emerge on April 9, 2026, when NBC News and local news outlet MyRGV (Rio Grande Valley) reported that the family of 17-year old Texas cheerleader Larissa Rodriguez had filed a wrongful death lawsuit in Hidalgo County District Court against Glazer's Beer and Beverage, LLC ("Glazer's") and Glazer's Beer and Beverage of Texas, LLC, two distributors of Alani Nu. The family alleged that Rodriguez died from an enlarged heart caused by drinking Alani Nu energy drinks and that the drinks "had inadequate warnings about the serious cardiac risks" of drinking Alani Nu. According to NBC News, Celsius stated in response, inter alia, "our policy is not to market or sample to anyone under 18".
On this news, Celsius's stock price fell $1.52 per share, or 4.18%, to close at $34.86 on April 10, 2026.
Then, on June 4, 2026, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton ("Paxton") announced an investigation into Celsius over concerns that its high-caffeine energy drinks are being marketed to children and teens. Per Attorney General Paxton's announcement, the investigation will specifically examine whether Celsius and its Alani Nu subsidiary had violated the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act by misrepresenting the safety of their products.
On news of the investigation, Celsius's stock price fell $2.26 per share, or 7.53%, to close at $27.75 per share on June 4, 2026.

Why Was Celsius Sued?
According to the complaint, on April 1, 2025, Celsius acquired Alani Nutrition LLC, a maker of highly caffeinated drinks. Defendants represent that the Alani Nu drinks are safe and healthy. Notwithstanding, Plaintiff contends that a single 12-ounce Alani Nu drink contains 200 milligrams of caffeine, more than twice the 100-milligram daily limit of caffeine recommended for teenagers and children aged 12-17. Despite the risks the Alani Nu drinks present to teens, the Company markets these drinks to these consumers despite asserting their purported commitment not to do so.
The complaint alleges that, during the class period, defendants failed to disclose to investors that:
defendants' products failed to adequately disclose the cardiac risks of consuming Alani Nu products; by marketing Alani Nu drinks to consumers under the age of 18, the Company was marketing its products to individuals who were particularly susceptible to known health risks posed by those products; the foregoing created a non-speculative risk that Alani Nu consumers would suffer potentially fatal adverse health events; the foregoing, once revealed, was likely to have a significant negative impact on the Company's business and reputation; and as a result, defendants' public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 08, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Portnoy Law Firm advises Celsius Holdings, Inc., (“Celsius” or the "Company") (NASDAQ: CELH) investors of a class action on behalf of investors that bought securities between February 21, 2025 - June 3, 2026, inclusive (the “Class Period”). Celsius investors have until November 3, 2026 to file a lead plaintiff motion.
Investors are encouraged to contact attorney Lesley F. Portnoy, by phone 310-692-8883 or email: [email protected], to discuss their legal rights, or join the case via https://portnoylaw.com/celsius-holdings-inc. The Portnoy Law Firm can provide a complimentary case evaluation and discuss investors’ options for pursuing claims to recover their losses.
According to the complaint, Celsius acquired Alani Nutrition LLC, a maker of highly caffeinated drinks, on April 1, 2025. Although defendants represent that Alani Nu drinks are safe and healthy, the plaintiff contends that a single 12-ounce drink contains 200 milligrams of caffeine—more than double the 100-milligram daily limit recommended for teenagers and children aged 12 to 17. Despite the risks these beverages present to teens, the company markets them to young consumers while simultaneously asserting a commitment not to do so. Furthermore, the complaint alleges that during the class period, defendants failed to disclose to investors that their products did not adequately warn of cardiac risks and that marketing to individuals under 18 targeted a demographic particularly susceptible to those health hazards. Consequently, this created a non-speculative risk of consumers suffering potentially fatal adverse health events, which, once revealed, was likely to inflict a significant negative impact on the company's business and reputation, rendering the defendants' public statements materially false and misleading at all relevant times.

Celsius Holdings Inc. (CELH - Free Report) has recently been on Zacks.com's list of the most searched stocks. Therefore, you might want to consider some of the key factors that could influence the stock's performance in the near future.
Shares of this company have returned +10.4% over the past month versus the Zacks S&P 500 composite's -0.1% change. The Zacks Food - Miscellaneous industry, to which Celsius belongs, has lost 0.5% over this period. Now the key question is: Where could the stock be headed in the near term?
Although media reports or rumors about a significant change in a company's business prospects usually cause its stock to trend and lead to an immediate price change, there are always certain fundamental factors that ultimately drive the buy-and-hold decision.
Earnings Estimate RevisionsRather than focusing on anything else, we at Zacks prioritize evaluating the change in a company's earnings projection. This is because we believe the fair value for its stock is determined by the present value of its future stream of earnings.
We essentially look at how sell-side analysts covering the stock are revising their earnings estimates to reflect the impact of the latest business trends. And if earnings estimates go up for a company, the fair value for its stock goes up. A higher fair value than the current market price drives investors' interest in buying the stock, leading to its price moving higher. This is why empirical research shows a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and near-term stock price movements.
For the current quarter, Celsius is expected to post earnings of $0.37 per share, indicating a change of -11.9% from the year-ago quarter. The Zacks Consensus Estimate has changed -11.8% over the last 30 days.
The consensus earnings estimate of $1.47 for the current fiscal year indicates a year-over-year change of +9.7%. This estimate has changed -7% over the last 30 days.
For the next fiscal year, the consensus earnings estimate of $1.76 indicates a change of +19.4% from what Celsius is expected to report a year ago. Over the past month, the estimate has changed -8.9%.
Having a strong externally audited track record, our proprietary stock rating tool, the Zacks Rank, offers a more conclusive picture of a stock's price direction in the near term, since it effectively harnesses the power of earnings estimate revisions. Due to the size of the recent change in the consensus estimate, along with three other factors related to earnings estimates, Celsius is rated Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell).
The chart below shows the evolution of the company's forward 12-month consensus EPS estimate:
12 Month EPS
Revenue Growth ForecastEven though a company's earnings growth is arguably the best indicator of its financial health, nothing much happens if it cannot raise its revenues. It's almost impossible for a company to grow its earnings without growing its revenue for long periods. Therefore, knowing a company's potential revenue growth is crucial.
In the case of Celsius, the consensus sales estimate of $806.52 million for the current quarter points to a year-over-year change of +11.2%. The $3.19 billion and $3.45 billion estimates for the current and next fiscal years indicate changes of +26.7% and +8.3%, respectively.
Last Reported Results and Surprise HistoryCelsius reported revenues of $817.92 million in the last reported quarter, representing a year-over-year change of +10.6%. EPS of $0.36 for the same period compares with $0.47 a year ago.
Compared to the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $883.27 million, the reported revenues represent a surprise of -7.4%. The EPS surprise was -14.29%.
Over the last four quarters, Celsius surpassed consensus EPS estimates three times. The company topped consensus revenue estimates three times over this period.
ValuationWithout considering a stock's valuation, no investment decision can be efficient. In predicting a stock's future price performance, it's crucial to determine whether its current price correctly reflects the intrinsic value of the underlying business and the company's growth prospects.
While comparing the current values of a company's valuation multiples, such as price-to-earnings (P/E), price-to-sales (P/S), and price-to-cash flow (P/CF), with its own historical values helps determine whether its stock is fairly valued, overvalued, or undervalued, comparing the company relative to its peers on these parameters gives a good sense of the reasonability of the stock's price.
As part of the Zacks Style Scores system, the Zacks Value Style Score (which evaluates both traditional and unconventional valuation metrics) organizes stocks into five groups ranging from A to F (A is better than B; B is better than C; and so on), making it helpful in identifying whether a stock is overvalued, rightly valued, or temporarily undervalued.
Celsius is graded F on this front, indicating that it is trading at a premium to its peers. Click here to see the values of some of the valuation metrics that have driven this grade.
ConclusionThe facts discussed here and much other information on Zacks.com might help determine whether or not it's worthwhile paying attention to the market buzz about Celsius. However, its Zacks Rank #5 does suggest that it may underperform the broader market in the near term.

Investors with an interest in Food - Miscellaneous stocks have likely encountered both Danone (DANOY - Free Report) and Celsius Holdings Inc. (CELH - Free Report) . But which of these two companies is the best option for those looking for undervalued stocks? Let's take a closer look.
There are plenty of strategies for discovering value stocks, but we have found that pairing a strong Zacks Rank with an impressive grade in the Value category of our Style Scores system produces the best returns. The Zacks Rank is a proven strategy that targets companies with positive earnings estimate revision trends, while our Style Scores work to grade companies based on specific traits.
Danone and Celsius Holdings Inc. are sporting Zacks Ranks of #2 (Buy) and #5 (Strong Sell), respectively, right now. This means that DANOY's earnings estimate revision activity has been more impressive, so investors should feel comfortable with its improving analyst outlook. But this is only part of the picture for value investors.
Value investors are also interested in a number of tried-and-true valuation metrics that help show when a company is undervalued at its current share price levels.
The Style Score Value grade factors in a variety of key fundamental metrics, including the popular P/E ratio, P/S ratio, earnings yield, cash flow per share, and a number of other key stats that are commonly used by value investors.
DANOY currently has a forward P/E ratio of 16.96, while CELH has a forward P/E of 24.03. We also note that DANOY has a PEG ratio of 2.59. This metric is used similarly to the famous P/E ratio, but the PEG ratio also takes into account the stock's expected earnings growth rate. CELH currently has a PEG ratio of 2.95.
Another notable valuation metric for DANOY is its P/B ratio of 2.54. The P/B ratio is used to compare a stock's market value with its book value, which is defined as total assets minus total liabilities. For comparison, CELH has a P/B of 7.53.
Based on these metrics and many more, DANOY holds a Value grade of B, while CELH has a Value grade of F.
DANOY has seen stronger estimate revision activity and sports more attractive valuation metrics than CELH, so it seems like value investors will conclude that DANOY is the superior option right now.
Shares of Celsius Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:CELH) are trading lower Thursday morning, breaking a multi-week recovery effort. The retreat follows a Wall Street analyst downgrade by Deutsche Bank.
Here’s what investors need to know.
Celsius Holdings stock is taking a hit today. What’s weighing on CELH shares? Deutsche Bank Downgrade Triggers Premarket Selling PressureThe primary catalyst driving Thursday’s decline was a downgrade from Deutsche Bank, which lowered its rating on Celsius Holdings from Buy to Hold.
The bank cited lingering execution headwinds following the company’s second-quarter earnings report on Aug. 6, where Celsius posted revenue of $817.9 million (missing Wall Street expectations of $870 million) and a 11.7% year-over-year sales decline in its flagship Celsius brand.
Recent Institutional Inflows and Leadership Changes Face RetestThe pullback interrupts a recent rally fueled by regulatory filings on Aug. 13, revealing that Ranger Investment Management L.P. initiated a new 465,470-share stake, alongside management restructuring announced on Aug. 10, promoting Tyler Bohannon to Chief Commercial Officer.
Thursday’s downgrade underlines that despite portfolio contributions from newly integrated brands like Alani Nu and Rockstar Energy, investors could remain cautious over core brand trajectory and inventory rebalancing in the second half of the year.
CELH Shares Fall Thursday MorningCELH Price Action: Celsius Holdings shares were down 5.22% at $33.38 during premarket trading on Thursday, according to Benzinga Pro data.

Market News and Data brought to you by Benzinga APIs
The recommendations of Wall Street analysts are often relied on by investors when deciding whether to buy, sell, or hold a stock. Media reports about these brokerage-firm-employed (or sell-side) analysts changing their ratings often affect a stock's price. Do they really matter, though?
Before we discuss the reliability of brokerage recommendations and how to use them to your advantage, let's see what these Wall Street heavyweights think about Celsius Holdings Inc. (CELH - Free Report) .
Celsius currently has an average brokerage recommendation (ABR) of 1.59, on a scale of 1 to 5 (Strong Buy to Strong Sell), calculated based on the actual recommendations (Buy, Hold, Sell, etc.) made by 22 brokerage firms. An ABR of 1.59 approximates between Strong Buy and Buy.
Of the 22 recommendations that derive the current ABR, 16 are Strong Buy and one is Buy. Strong Buy and Buy respectively account for 72.7% and 4.6% of all recommendations.
Brokerage Recommendation Trends for CELH
Check price target & stock forecast for Celsius here>>>
The ABR suggests buying Celsius, but making an investment decision solely on the basis of this information might not be a good idea. According to several studies, brokerage recommendations have little to no success guiding investors to choose stocks with the most potential for price appreciation.
Are you wondering why? The vested interest of brokerage firms in a stock they cover often results in a strong positive bias of their analysts in rating it. Our research shows that for every "Strong Sell" recommendation, brokerage firms assign five "Strong Buy" recommendations.
In other words, their interests aren't always aligned with retail investors, rarely indicating where the price of a stock could actually be heading. Therefore, the best use of this information could be validating your own research or an indicator that has proven to be highly successful in predicting a stock's price movement.
With an impressive externally audited track record, our proprietary stock rating tool, the Zacks Rank, which classifies stocks into five groups, ranging from Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) to Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell), is a reliable indicator of a stock's near-term price performance. So, validating the Zacks Rank with ABR could go a long way in making a profitable investment decision.
ABR Should Not Be Confused With Zacks RankAlthough both Zacks Rank and ABR are displayed in a range of 1--5, they are different measures altogether.
The ABR is calculated solely based on brokerage recommendations and is typically displayed with decimals (example: 1.28). In contrast, the Zacks Rank is a quantitative model allowing investors to harness the power of earnings estimate revisions. It is displayed in whole numbers -- 1 to 5.
Analysts employed by brokerage firms have been and continue to be overly optimistic with their recommendations. Since the ratings issued by these analysts are more favorable than their research would support because of the vested interest of their employers, they mislead investors far more often than they guide.
On the other hand, earnings estimate revisions are at the core of the Zacks Rank. And empirical research shows a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and near-term stock price movements.
Furthermore, the different grades of the Zacks Rank are applied proportionately across all stocks for which brokerage analysts provide earnings estimates for the current year. In other words, at all times, this tool maintains a balance among the five ranks it assigns.
Another key difference between the ABR and Zacks Rank is freshness. The ABR is not necessarily up-to-date when you look at it. But, since brokerage analysts keep revising their earnings estimates to account for a company's changing business trends, and their actions get reflected in the Zacks Rank quickly enough, it is always timely in indicating future price movements.
Is CELH a Good Investment?Looking at the earnings estimate revisions for Celsius, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the current year has declined 7.5% over the past month to $1.47.
Analysts' growing pessimism over the company's earnings prospects, as indicated by strong agreement among them in revising EPS estimates lower, could be a legitimate reason for the stock to plunge in the near term.
The size of the recent change in the consensus estimate, along with three other factors related to earnings estimates, has resulted in a Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell) for Celsius. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) stocks here >>>>
Therefore, it could be wise to take the Buy-equivalent ABR for Celsius with a grain of salt.
Shares of Celsius Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:CELH) are trading lower Friday afternoon as investors continue to weigh concerns that the energy drink maker’s business recovery could take longer than expected. Here’s what investors need to know.
Celsius Holdings shares are under pressure. What’s pulling CELH shares down? Deutsche Bank Downgrades Stock to Hold as Recovery Timeline Shifts to 2027Friday’s selling pressure extends losses from Thursday after Deutsche Bank downgraded Celsius to Hold from Buy while maintaining a $35 price target.
In a research note, the firm noted that core business trends weakened through the second quarter, with revenue and margins falling short of expectations and management pushing the timeline for a meaningful sales improvement out to fiscal 2027.
Deutsche Bank cautioned that investor expectations were rising faster than tangible evidence of a turnaround, joining previous downgrades from firms like Bernstein and Maxim following soft second-quarter results earlier in the month.
Management Commentary Highlights Long-Term Strategy Amid OptimizationThe cautious Wall Street sentiment follows Celsius Holdings’ second-quarter earnings report, during which Chairman and Chief Executive Officer John Fieldly outlined the company’s efforts to streamline its core assortment while expanding its broader beverage platform:
"During the second quarter of 2026, we made meaningful progress in advancing Celsius Holdings as a scaled portfolio of leading brands. We delivered a double-digit increase in second quarter revenue, completed the Rockstar integration, and maintained gross margin near first-quarter levels despite a challenging commodity environment… As it relates to our optimization project, we remain focused on improving assortment productivity and strengthening execution to return brand Celsius to sustainable growth."
CELH Shares Edge Lower Friday AfternoonCELH Price Action: Celsius Holdings shares were down 2.49% at $32.17 at the time of publication on Friday, according to Benzinga Pro data.

Celsius Holdings reported second-quarter revenue of $817.9 million — a shortfall of more than $50 million against Wall Street consensus — and the stock sold off sharply. Levi & Korsinsky is investigating on behalf of CELH investors who lost money.
, /PRNewswire/ -- A revenue shortfall of as much as $70 million against analyst consensus sent Celsius Holdings (NASDAQ: CELH) shares sharply lower after the Company posted second-quarter revenue of $817.9 million versus estimates of over $870 million. Shareholders who lost money on CELH are encouraged to submit their losses for review now before the investigation advances. You may also contact Joseph E. Levi, Esq. via email at [email protected] or by telephone at (212) 363-7500.
The miss was not confined to the top line. Adjusted earnings per share came in below consensus. Revenue from the core Celsius brand declined approximately 11.7% year-over-year. Adjusted EBITDA fell 12% year-over-year.
By segment, Alani Nu growth only partially offset the core-brand deterioration, and Rockstar contributed less favorable momentum. Management attributed the core Celsius weakness to promotional activity, inventory rebalancing, softer club-channel sales, SKU rationalization, and delayed innovation, and indicated the Celsius brand could remain weak in the third quarter before "get[ting] back to growth in 2027."

When deciding whether to buy, sell, or hold a stock, investors often rely on analyst recommendations. Media reports about rating changes by these brokerage-firm-employed (or sell-side) analysts often influence a stock's price, but are they really important?
Let's take a look at what these Wall Street heavyweights have to say about Celsius Holdings Inc. (CELH - Free Report) before we discuss the reliability of brokerage recommendations and how to use them to your advantage.
Celsius currently has an average brokerage recommendation (ABR) of 1.50, on a scale of 1 to 5 (Strong Buy to Strong Sell), calculated based on the actual recommendations (Buy, Hold, Sell, etc.) made by 22 brokerage firms. An ABR of 1.50 approximates between Strong Buy and Buy.
Of the 22 recommendations that derive the current ABR, 17 are Strong Buy and one is Buy. Strong Buy and Buy respectively account for 77.3% and 4.6% of all recommendations.

The ABR suggests buying Celsius, but making an investment decision solely on the basis of this information might not be a good idea. According to several studies, brokerage recommendations have little to no success guiding investors to choose stocks with the most potential for price appreciation.
Are you wondering why? The vested interest of brokerage firms in a stock they cover often results in a strong positive bias of their analysts in rating it. Our research shows that for every "Strong Sell" recommendation, brokerage firms assign five "Strong Buy" recommendations.
This means that the interests of these institutions are not always aligned with those of retail investors, giving little insight into the direction of a stock's future price movement. It would therefore be best to use this information to validate your own analysis or a tool that has proven to be highly effective at predicting stock price movements.
Zacks Rank, our proprietary stock rating tool with an impressive externally audited track record, categorizes stocks into five groups, ranging from Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) to Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell), and is an effective indicator of a stock's price performance in the near future. Therefore, using the ABR to validate the Zacks Rank could be an efficient way of making a profitable investment decision.
Zacks Rank Should Not Be Confused With ABRIn spite of the fact that Zacks Rank and ABR both appear on a scale from 1 to 5, they are two completely different measures.
The ABR is calculated solely based on brokerage recommendations and is typically displayed with decimals (example: 1.28). In contrast, the Zacks Rank is a quantitative model allowing investors to harness the power of earnings estimate revisions. It is displayed in whole numbers -- 1 to 5.
It has been and continues to be the case that analysts employed by brokerage firms are overly optimistic with their recommendations. Because of their employers' vested interests, these analysts issue more favorable ratings than their research would support, misguiding investors far more often than helping them.
In contrast, the Zacks Rank is driven by earnings estimate revisions. And near-term stock price movements are strongly correlated with trends in earnings estimate revisions, according to empirical research.
Furthermore, the different grades of the Zacks Rank are applied proportionately across all stocks for which brokerage analysts provide earnings estimates for the current year. In other words, at all times, this tool maintains a balance among the five ranks it assigns.
Another key difference between the ABR and Zacks Rank is freshness. The ABR is not necessarily up-to-date when you look at it. But, since brokerage analysts keep revising their earnings estimates to account for a company's changing business trends, and their actions get reflected in the Zacks Rank quickly enough, it is always timely in indicating future price movements.
Is CELH a Good Investment?Looking at the earnings estimate revisions for Celsius, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the current year has declined 7.3% over the past month to $1.47.
Analysts' growing pessimism over the company's earnings prospects, as indicated by strong agreement among them in revising EPS estimates lower, could be a legitimate reason for the stock to plunge in the near term.
The size of the recent change in the consensus estimate, along with three other factors related to earnings estimates, has resulted in a Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell) for Celsius. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) stocks here >>>>
Therefore, it could be wise to take the Buy-equivalent ABR for Celsius with a grain of salt.
Celsius Holdings' management projected to return toward their growth trajectory in the third quarter. One quarter later, management indicated the third quarter would remain down and delayed projections for a return to growth to 2027.
, /PRNewswire/ -- Celsius Holdings (NASDAQ: CELH) shareholders were presented during the first quarter earnings call on May 7, 2026, with upbeat commentary about "enhancements leading into Q3" and expectations "to see some improvement" in the short term. One quarter later, on August 6, 2026, Celsius Holdings announced the slowdown would continue through the third quarter, and that the company might not get Celsius "back to growth, category growth [until] '27."
Shares fell sharply following the second quarter results and altered guidance timeline. Investors who lost money on CELH are encouraged to submit their loss information now. You may also contact Joseph E. Levi, Esq. via email at [email protected] or by telephone at (888) SueWallSt.
Between the two quarters, Celsius Holdings' CFO, Jarrod Langhans, admitted during a presentation at the Goldman Sachs Global Staples Forum on May 12, 2026, that the company was already behind schedule in its "optimization project," progress was "a little slower than [they] had anticipated." He was confident however that "more or less the optimization and the space gains [would] all be completed by the end of this [second] quarter."
During the third quarter earnings call on August 6, 2026, CEO and Chairman John Fieldly pushed that timeline back even further. The company is now projecting Celsius "from Q2 to Q3" to have "somewhat of a sidestep as we still have the cycling of the optimization … and we expect to get back to growth in 2027." SueWallSt notifies investors of a pending investigation into potential securities law violations on behalf of CELH investors.

Investors often choose between established industry leaders and high-growth disruptors. Should you prioritize the global scale of Booking (BKNG +0.46%) or the rapid expansion of Celsius (CELH -1.27%) for your portfolio in 2026?
Booking operates a massive online travel platform, dominating reservations across 220 countries. Celsius is a functional beverage company aggressively taking market share from legacy energy drink brands. While one relies on cyclical travel spending, the other depends on consumer lifestyle trends, making this a classic matchup between steady profitability and explosive top-line growth.
The case for BookingBooking is a travel service provider, often classified among consumer discretionary stocks. It serves travelers through brands such as Booking.com, Priceline, and Agoda, and partners with hotels, airlines, and rental car companies. The company focuses on its "Connected Trip" strategy, using data and advertising partnerships with The Trade Desk to cross-sell services.
In 2025, revenue reached nearly $27 billion, representing growth of approximately 13.4% compared to the previous year. This resulted in net income of close to $5.4 billion, though the net margin contracted to roughly 20% from the prior year. This revenue trend highlights steady expansion in global travel bookings and partner activity across its digital platform.
As of its December 2025 balance sheet, the debt-to-equity ratio was -3.5x, reflecting negative shareholders’ equity due to stock buybacks. The current ratio, which measures a company's ability to pay short-term obligations with short-term assets, was approximately 1.3x.
Free cash flow, representing the cash a company generates from its operations minus capital expenditures, reached roughly $9.1 billion in 2025.
The case for CelsiusCelsius sells functional beverages designed for active lifestyles, reaching consumers through grocery stores and fitness centers worldwide. A massive portion of its business depends on a distribution agreement with PepsiCo, which accounted for roughly 43% of total revenue in 2025. Customer concentration like this adds a layer of risk to the business, particularly given the reliance on a single partner.
In 2025, revenue reached close to $2.5 billion, a massive 85% increase over the previous year. Despite this growth, net income fell to $108 million, with the net margin dropping to approximately 4% as the company integrated new brands. These results include the impact of expanding into new international markets through partnerships such as the Suntory Group.
As of the December 2025 balance sheet, the debt-to-equity ratio was nearly 0.2x, indicating a low level of debt relative to equity. The current ratio was approximately 1.7x, suggesting the company has ample liquidity to cover its upcoming bills and operational needs.
Free cash flow for 2025 reached $323 million, providing capital to fund its ongoing expansion efforts.
Risk profile comparisonBooking faces intense competition from global technology giants and AI-native platforms that could bypass its services. Regulatory scrutiny is a major headwind, specifically its status as a gatekeeper under the EU Digital Markets Act. Furthermore, the company must manage cybersecurity threats and the technological complexity of integrating generative AI into its platform.
Celsius relies heavily on PepsiCo for distribution, and any disruption in that relationship could hurt financial results. The company also faces pressure as it integrates recent acquisitions such as Alani Nu and Rockstar. Competition remains fierce from established players like Monster, Red Bull, and Coca-Cola, and there are risks related to ingredient regulation and supply chain stability.
Valuation comparisonBooking trades at a higher P/S ratio, measuring price against sales per share, while Celsius features a lower multiple based on Forward P/E estimates, which compare stock price to future earnings estimates.
MetricBookingCelsiusForward P/E20.5x17.4xP/S ratio6.2x2.8xValuation metrics sourced from Financial Modeling Prep (FMP) and may differ from other data providers.
Both companies are demonstrating steady growth in their respective industries and face similar competitive risks. Celsius is attractive for its high top-line growth and lower valuation multiples, but this also reflects greater risk due to its reliance on PepsiCo and uncertainty about long-term consumer preferences. For these reasons, I would rather invest in Booking right now.
Booking is one of the leading travel booking operators. Travel spending has been steadily growing for many years, partly reflecting consumers’ appetite for experiences over material goods.
While occasional economic recessions can pressure the travel industry, Booking is ultimately benefiting from a long-term tailwind that seems more durable than betting on the growing popularity of a relatively small beverage brand.
Investors will have to monitor how well Booking integrates AI into its platforms and addresses the threat from big tech giants like Google. But Booking continues to post double-digit revenue growth and generate robust free cash flow. Its “Connected Trip” strategy aims to solidify its market lead by offering a more end-to-end booking experience across car rentals, airlines, destinations, and other services.
Shares of Booking Holdings have rebounded recently after the pullback, but still trade at a reasonable forward P/E relative to growth estimates. Analysts currently expect earnings to grow at an annualized rate of 35% over the next two years, which could send the stock higher.

Celsius Holdings (CELH -3.84%) has made a name for itself in recent years as a top energy drink company. And for a while, it was looking like an unstoppable growth stock to own. Investors who bought the stock in the hopes that its gains would continue, however, have been hugely disappointed. This year alone, the stock is down more than 40%, as it has nearly wiped out the gains it has amassed over the past five years.
How could things have gone so wrong for Celsius Holdings, and could the stock head even lower, or is now a good time to buy it?

The company's growth has been volatile To be a top growth stock, a company has to deliver just that -- growth. While Celsius' business has become much larger over the years, investors simply aren't thrilled with its inconsistent and sharply declining growth, which is evident in the chart below.
CELH Revenue (Quarterly YoY Growth) data by YCharts
At 10.6%, that's a decent level of growth for the business in its most recent quarter, but it's also far less than what it has averaged over the past five years. But growing at a high rate of more than 20%, let alone 80%, is not easy to do, especially at a time when consumers are battling higher costs and looking for ways to save, rather than splurge.
The business is already fairly large, generating roughly $818 million in revenue during its most recent period, which went up until the end of June. Alani Nu, which Celsius acquired in April 2025, contributed $364 million. It has now been transitioned into PepsiCo's distribution system. PepsiCo and Celsius have a strategic long-term relationship that has helped Celsius achieve significant growth over the years, and it may help Alani Nu reach new heights as well.

Is Celsius Holdings a cheap stock to buy right now? There's been some volatility with Celsius' stock this year as question marks about its growth and leadership have been weighing on its valuation. However, I think with it still being in the early innings of incorporating Alani Nu into its business, there may be much more growth ahead. The market has been punishing Celsius' stock, but the business is still performing well at a time when economic conditions may not necessarily be ideal.
The beverage stock is trading at 18 times its estimated future earnings (based on analyst estimates), which is attractive given that the average stock on the S&P 500 trades at 21 times its expected future profits. For long-term investors who are willing to be patient, now could be a good time to start a position in Celsius.
Key Takeaways Alani Nu drove CELH's Q2 growth as revenues rose 21% and tracked-channel retail sales jumped 55.7%.CELSIUS brand revenues fell 11.7% as SKU cuts, softer retail trends and inventory rebalancing weighed.CELH's gross margin fell 340 basis points to 48.1%, while adjusted EBITDA declined 12% to $184.2 million. Celsius Holdings, Inc. (CELH - Free Report) reported a second-quarter earnings miss even as its broader beverage portfolio continued to expand. Revenues rose 10.6% year over year to $817.9 million, supported by Alani Nu and Rockstar, but adjusted earnings fell 23% to 36 cents per share.
The quarter sharpened the divide inside the portfolio. Alani Nu is adding consumers, distribution and innovation-driven growth, while the flagship CELSIUS brand is working through SKU rationalization, softer retail trends and inventory rebalancing. Contracting margins add another hurdle, making the next phase of the story less about portfolio scale and more about whether that scale can translate into better earnings.
CELH Q2 Miss Exposes a Split PortfolioAdjusted earnings of 36 cents per share missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 42 cents. Revenues of $817.9 million also fell short of the $883 million consensus mark, although the top line increased 10.6% from the prior-year quarter.
The growth came from a broader portfolio rather than uniform brand momentum. Alani Nu contributed $364.4 million in second-quarter revenues and Rockstar added about $66.5 million, while CELSIUS brand revenues declined 11.7%. That mix helped consolidated revenues grow despite weakness in the company’s flagship franchise.
Portfolio retail trends were stronger than reported revenues. U.S. tracked-channel retail sales across CELSIUS, Alani Nu and Rockstar increased 31% in the quarter, and the portfolio held about 20.1% of the U.S. ready-to-drink energy category. The gap between portfolio growth and core-brand performance remains the key issue after the report.
Alani Nu Carries CELH's Near-Term GrowthAlani Nu remains Celsius Holdings’ clearest near-term growth engine. The brand generated about $364.4 million in second-quarter revenues, up roughly 21% year over year, while tracked-channel retail sales advanced 55.7%. Its U.S. ready-to-drink energy dollar share reached about 8.7%.
Innovation is helping sustain that momentum. Purple Cotton Candy became Alani Nu’s top-selling new flavor during the quarter, following launches such as Cherry Bomb and Lime Slush. Management said successful limited-time flavors can graduate into permanent placements, which can help expand the brand’s core assortment as it scales. Monster Beverage Corporation (MNST - Free Report) is a relevant industry benchmark, with its Monster Energy Drinks segment posting 27.6% net-sales growth in the first quarter of 2026.
Core Celsius Needs a 2027 RecoveryCELSIUS brand revenues fell 11.7% year over year in the second quarter, while tracked-channel retail sales declined 2%. The brand’s U.S. ready-to-drink energy dollar share was about 9.5%, down from roughly 9.9% in the first quarter.
Management tied the pressure to SKU optimization, delayed installation of targeted retail space, limited innovation, increased trade and promotional spending, softness in the club channel and distributor inventory rebalancing. The rationalization reduced distribution points before all planned shelf and cooler gains were in place. PepsiCo, Inc. (PEP - Free Report) remains central to execution because its direct-store-delivery system distributes CELSIUS, Alani Nu and Rockstar in the United States.
There are early productivity signs. Dollars per point of distribution increased about 16% from the first quarter to the second despite roughly 7% fewer distribution points. Fizz-Free tracked-channel dollar sales also rose more than 20% sequentially.
Those improvements have not yet restored brand growth. Management expects the third quarter to look similar to the second before CELSIUS returns to growth exiting 2026, with additional 16-ounce innovation planned for early 2027. That timing makes the next several quarters an execution test rather than a confirmed recovery.
CELH Margin Pressure Deepens the Earnings ImpactGross margin declined 340 basis points year over year to 48.1% in the second quarter. Higher promotional activity and direct-store-delivery channel mix pressured profitability, while aluminum and fuel costs offset some benefits from freight optimization and acquisition integration.
Adjusted EBITDA fell 12% to $184.2 million, with adjusted EBITDA margin dropping to 22.5% from 28.4%. The margin contraction explains why double-digit revenue growth did not translate into higher adjusted earnings.
Celsius Holdings is pursuing several offsets, including a second North Carolina manufacturing line, direct sourcing, freight improvements and price-pack architecture. Still, management expects third-quarter gross margin to remain in the high 40s at current diesel and aluminum levels.
The earnings recovery could therefore lag revenue growth even if portfolio sales remain healthy.
Rockstar Adds Scale but Not Yet Demand MomentumRockstar contributed about $66.5 million in second-quarter revenues, but consumer demand remains soft. Tracked-channel retail sales declined 13% year over year, and the brand held about 1.9% of U.S. ready-to-drink energy dollar share.
The integration was completed in June, shifting the focus from operational transition to demand stabilization. Management has cited early velocity gains after SKU rationalization and said Rockstar is tracking in line with the sales expectations set at acquisition. The company is also refreshing packaging and focusing marketing around motorsports, music and gaming.
The key issue is timing. Management continues to position 2026 as a stabilization year and Rockstar for a stronger 2027. Until retail growth improves, the brand adds scale to CELH’s portfolio but does not provide the same demand momentum as Alani Nu.

CELH Signals Keep the Q2 Reset in FocusThe second-quarter report showed that Alani Nu can offset part of the weakness in the CELSIUS brand, but it has not yet fully offset the earnings impact of softer core trends and lower margins. That distinction matters because consolidated revenue growth can remain healthy while profitability stays under pressure.
CELH currently carries a Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell). The stock also has a Growth Score of A, Momentum Score of B, Value Score of D and VGM Score of B. The favorable Growth and Momentum Scores highlight the portfolio’s expansion potential, but the Zacks Rank remains the more important near-term signal because it incorporates the direction of earnings-estimate revisions.
You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
For investors evaluating the Q2 event, the next proof points are clear: CELSIUS brand growth needs to stabilize, margin initiatives need to overcome commodity and promotional pressure, and Rockstar needs to show better retail demand. Until those trends improve, Alani Nu is carrying more of the portfolio’s growth burden than the headline revenue increase alone suggests.
Have you evaluated the performance of Celsius Holdings Inc.'s (CELH - Free Report) international operations during the quarter that concluded in June 2026? Considering the extensive worldwide presence of this company, analyzing the patterns in international revenues is crucial for understanding its financial resilience and potential for growth.
The global economy today is deeply interlinked, making a company's engagement with international markets a critical factor in determining its financial success and growth path. It has become essential for investors to comprehend how much a company relies on these foreign markets, as this understanding reveals the firm's potential for consistent earnings, its capacity to harness different economic cycles, and its overall growth prospects.
International market involvement serves as insurance against economic downturns at home and enables engagement with economies that are growing more quickly. Still, this move toward diversification is not without its challenges, as it involves navigating through the fluctuations of currencies, geopolitical threats, and the distinctive nature of various markets.
In our recent assessment of CELH's quarterly performance, we discovered notable trends in its overseas revenue sections, which are typically modeled and scrutinized by Wall Street analysts.
The company's total revenue for the quarter stood at $817.92 million, increasing 10.6% year over year. Now, let's delve into CELH's international revenue breakdown to gain insights into the significance of its operations beyond home turf.
Trends in CELH's Revenue from International MarketsAsia-Pacific accounted for 0.1% of the company's total revenue during the quarter, translating to $0.97 million. Revenues from this region represented a surprise of -78.94%, with Wall Street analysts collectively expecting $4.6 million. When compared to the preceding quarter and the same quarter in the previous year, Asia-Pacific contributed $7 million (0.9%) and $4.38 million (0.6%) to the total revenue, respectively.
Europe generated $24.85 million in revenues for the company in the last quarter, constituting 3% of the total. This represented a surprise of +23.47% compared to the $20.13 million projected by Wall Street analysts. Comparatively, in the previous quarter, Europe accounted for $25.35 million (3.2%), and in the year-ago quarter, it contributed $18.3 million (2.5%) to the total revenue.
Of the total revenue, $1.4 million came from Other International during the last fiscal quarter, accounting for 0.2%. This represented a surprise of -39.74% as analysts had expected the region to contribute $2.33 million to the total revenue. In comparison, the region contributed $2.95 million, or 0.4%, and $2.12 million, or 0.3%, to total revenue in the previous and year-ago quarters, respectively.
Projected Revenues in Foreign MarketsWall Street analysts expect Celsius to report a total revenue of $848.86 million in the current fiscal quarter, which suggests an increase of 17.1% from the prior-year quarter. Revenue shares from Asia-Pacific, Europe and Other International are predicted to be 0.4%, 2.3%, and 0.3%, corresponding to amounts of $3.69 million, $19.46 million, and $2.1 million, respectively.
For the entire year, the company's total revenue is forecasted to be $3.25 billion, which is an improvement of 29.1% from the previous year. The revenue contributions from different regions are expected as follows: Asia-Pacific will contribute 0.6% ($18.92 million), Europe 2.5% ($81.27 million) and Other International 0.3% ($8.65 million) to the total revenue.
Closing RemarksRelying on global markets for revenues presents both prospects and challenges for Celsius. Therefore, scrutinizing its international revenue trends is key to effectively forecasting the company's future outlook.
In an environment where global interconnections and geopolitical skirmishes are intensifying, Wall Street analysts keep a keen eye on these trends, particularly for firms with overseas operations, to adjust their earnings predictions. Moreover, a range of other aspects, including how a company fares in its home country, significantly affects these projections.
At Zacks, we place significant importance on a company's evolving earnings outlook. This is based on empirical evidence demonstrating its strong influence on a stock's short-term price movements. Invariably, there exists a positive relationship -- an upward revision in earnings estimates is typically mirrored by a rise in the stock price.
The Zacks Rank, our proprietary stock rating mechanism, demonstrates a notable performance history confirmed through external audits. It effectively utilizes the power of earnings estimate revisions to act as a predictor of a stock's price performance in the near term.
Currently, Celsius holds a Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell), signifying its potential to underperform the overall market's performance in the forthcoming period. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) stocks here >>>> .
Examining the Latest Trends in Celsius Holdings Inc.'s Stock ValueOver the past month, the stock has lost 9.3% versus the Zacks S&P 500 composite's 3.4% increase. The Zacks Consumer Staples sector, of which Celsius is a part, remained unchanged over the same period. The company's shares have declined 7.9% over the past three months compared to the S&P 500's 6% increase. Over the same period, the sector has risen 3.8%
Celsius Holdings (NASDAQ:CELH | CELH Price Prediction) has become one of the most talked-about consolidation candidates in beverages. Shares are down 39.3% year to date and are 44.6% lower than a year ago, leaving Celsius with a market cap of roughly $7.0 billion. That is digestible for any of the beverage majors.
The asset itself is scaled. CEO John Fieldly told investors, “Today we have 2 billion-dollar brands and a third brand with a clear role in the portfolio.” The portfolio holds roughly 20% of the U.S. RTD energy category, and Alani Nu delivered $364.40 million in Q2 revenue even as the flagship Celsius brand declined 11.7% year over year.
Below is a look at potential acquirers. Keep in mind that this is speculative strategic analysis, as there has been no report of any pending deal.
Keurig Dr Pepper: Least Likely Near Term Keurig Dr Pepper (NASDAQ:KDP) just closed an $18 billion+ JDE Peet’s acquisition on April 1, 2026, running pro-forma leverage near 4.4x. A planned beverage/coffee separation in early 2027 could change the math, though. The company has purchased a majority stake in popular lifestyle and energy drink brand GHOST, so the fit exists once the balance sheet resets.
Coca-Cola: Strategic but Conflicted Coca-Cola (NYSE:KO) has $50.13 billion in TTM revenue and clear appetite. New CEO Henrique Braun said, “We delivered another strong quarter by staying close to the changing needs of our consumers.” The complication is that Coca-Cola distributes Monster, which makes a Celsius bid awkward.
Monster Beverage: Obvious Fit, Antitrust Wall Monster Beverage (NASDAQ:MNST) has $2.192 billion in cash, $900 million in buyback authorization, and a 2-for-1 split effective August 11, 2026. Shares are up 17.9% year to date. Combining Monster with Celsius would concentrate U.S. energy share to a degree regulators would scrutinize heavily.
PepsiCo: Most Natural Acquirer PepsiCo (NASDAQ:PEP) is already Celsius’s U.S. distributor and holds roughly an 11% equity stake following a $585 million investment. The company carries $10.25 billion in cash. CEO Ramon Laguarta cited “the continued evolution of the portfolio to offer more choices … energy and zero sugar beverage varieties.” Formalizing the relationship is the cleanest path.
What About Private Equity? A take-private deal is plausible. The stock trades near a 52-week low of $23.56, and July insider filings showed systematic share sales by three former 10% owners using variable prepaid forward contracts. Activist pressure has arrived too: Rockstar Energy co-founder Russ Savage disclosed a 4.7% stake and demanded CEO changes. A sponsor with a strategic partner could unlock value the public market is discounting.
Watch for whether Fieldly’s language shifts from “still early” to something more definitive on the next call.

Valuation Assessment of Celsius Holdings Inc (CELH)On August 07, 2026, Celsius Holdings Inc (CELH) shares rose by 16.8%, bringing the current price to $27.77. T
Investors looking for growth in 2026 often find themselves choosing between established tech giants and high-octane consumer brands. Both Amazon (AMZN +0.81%) and Celsius (CELH +16.83%) offer unique paths to long-term portfolio expansion.
Amazon dominates the global cloud and e-commerce markets, leveraging its massive scale to drive profitability. Celsius is disrupting the energy drink market with functional, health-conscious beverages and a powerful distribution network. This comparison evaluates their financial health and market positioning to help you decide which stock is the better buy today.
The case for AmazonAmazon serves a massive global audience, including individual shoppers, third-party sellers, and enterprise developers, through its cloud computing arm. The company dominates the e-commerce landscape while simultaneously providing critical infrastructure for the modern internet via AWS and various artificial intelligence services. While it currently faces a certified class-action antitrust lawsuit regarding its marketplace practices, no material partner or customer exits have occurred during this regulatory process.
In FY 2025, revenue reached nearly $716.9 billion, representing growth of approximately 12.4% over the prior year. The company reported net income of close to $77.7 billion for the same period. This resulted in a net margin of roughly 10.8%, which improved from the 9.3% net margin recorded in the previous year as the company found more efficiencies in its fulfillment and cloud segments.
As of its December 2025 balance sheet, the debt-to-equity ratio was about 0.4x. This metric compares total debt to the value of shareholder equity, with lower numbers typically indicating less reliance on external financing. The current ratio, which measures a company's ability to cover its short-term bills with short-term assets, was approximately 1.1x. For FY 2025, free cash flow was close to $7.7 billion, which is the cash remaining after the business pays for its daily operations and capital investments.
The case for CelsiusCelsius is a functional beverage company that focuses on fitness-oriented energy drinks, including brands like Alani Nu and Rockstar Energy. The business relies heavily on a strategic partnership with PepsiCo, which handles the primary distribution in the United States and Canada. Customer concentration like this adds a layer of risk to the business, as PepsiCo accounted for nearly 43.2% of total net revenue in 2025.
In the beverage stocks category, Celsius has seen rapid expansion. In FY 2025, revenue reached roughly $2.5 billion, representing growth of nearly 85.5% compared to the prior year. However, net income was close to $108.0 million, leading to a net margin of about 4.3%, a significant decrease from the 10.7% net margin seen in FY 2024.
According to the December 2025 balance sheet, the debt-to-equity ratio was nearly 0.2x. The current ratio was approximately 1.7x, suggesting the company maintains a healthy cushion of short-term assets relative to its immediate liabilities. For FY 2025, the company generated free cash flow of close to $323.4 million. Free cash flow represents the actual cash a company produces after accounting for cash outflows to support operations and maintain its capital assets.
Risk profile comparisonAmazon faces intense global competition across its retail, cloud, and AI segments from well-funded rivals like Microsoft and Alphabet. The company is also navigating significant legal and regulatory scrutiny, including a Senate probe and a potential $2.5 billion settlement with the Federal Trade Commission. Geopolitical risks in markets like India and China could also force operational changes, while data security remains a constant threat given the massive volume of sensitive information the company processes.
For Celsius, the primary risk involves its revenue concentration with PepsiCo, as any termination of their distribution agreement could materially harm the business. The company is also tasked with the complex integration of the Alani Nu and Rockstar brands, which involves managing cultural alignment and servicing roughly $700 million in debt. Additional pressures include regulatory scrutiny regarding marketing claims and a dependency on a limited network of third-party suppliers for essential materials like aluminum cans.
Valuation comparisonCelsius appears to be the more affordable option based on sales and future earnings estimates, while Amazon commands a higher premium for its diversified tech and retail dominance.
MetricAmazonCelsiusForward P/E29.3x19.3xP/S ratio3.8x2.3xValuation metrics sourced from Financial Modeling Prep (FMP) and may differ from other data providers.
I'd go with Amazon, and it's not a close call. To give Celsius its due, the company has built an impressive portfolio of energy drink brands, and Alani Nu is taking off. The Rockstar integration also came in ahead of schedule. For investors focused purely on the beverage space, the long-term brand portfolio has potential.
But the core Celsius brand is struggling. Sales declined sharply year over year in the most recent quarter, EPS missed estimates, and management is not expecting a return to growth until the end of the year. That is a lot of uncertainty to manage.
Amazon, meanwhile, just delivered a blowout quarter. Revenue crossed a major milestone, AWS growth accelerated for the fifth consecutive quarter, and the advertising business continues to expand. Operating income grew at more than double the rate of revenue, a sign that the business is becoming more profitable as it scales.
For a long-term investor, owning one of the most dominant businesses in the world at a moment when all of its major divisions are firing is a much more comfortable place to be than betting on a beverage brand trying to find its footing.
Key Takeaways CELH expects Q3 weekly run rates to stay near Q2 levels, with slight gains before exiting 2026 in growth.Celsius said it cut too many SKUs, while cold-space gains took longer and innovation was deliberately limited.Alani Nu posted about $364M in Q2 sales, up about 21%, while Rockstar integration finished in June. Celsius Holdings, Inc. (CELH - Free Report) used its second-quarter 2026 earnings call to temper near-term expectations for brand CELSIUS. Chairman and chief executive officer John Fieldly said the brand’s third-quarter performance should look much like Q2 before returning to growth exiting the year.
Adjusted EPS of $0.36 missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.42, while revenues of $817.9 million missed the $883.3 million consensus. Revenues still increased 10.6% year over year.
CELH Sees Q3 Core Brand Pressure PersistChief financial officer Jarrod Langhans said brand CELSIUS net sales fell approximately 12% year over year versus a 2% decline in tracked retail sales. He cited shipment timing, higher trade and promotional investment, and club-channel softness.
Langhans said depletions versus orders accounted for roughly half the gap between scanner and reported results at quarter-end as distributor inventory rebalanced following SKU removals.
Fieldly said third-quarter weekly run rates should be broadly similar to Q2, with slight increases, before CELSIUS exits 2026 back in growth.
Celsius Says SKU Cuts Went Too FarDuring Q&A, a Goldman Sachs analyst asked whether the SKU rationalization had been the right decision. Fieldly acknowledged that Celsius cut too many CELSIUS SKUs and said a lighter reduction would have been preferable.
Fieldly said assortment cuts occurred immediately, while targeted cold-space and permanent cooler gains took longer. Celsius also deliberately limited innovation while integrating Alani Nu and Rockstar.
Fieldly identified the 16-ounce line as an area needing work and said a meaningful new offering is planned for early 2027. He said future optimization will emphasize replacing tail SKUs with permanent innovation.
CELH Leans on Alani as Rockstar StabilizesLanghans said Alani Nu generated approximately $364 million in second-quarter net sales, up approximately 21% year over year, while tracked retail sales rose 56%. Higher DSD mix, trade investment and billbacks reduced reported net revenue growth.
Fieldly said Purple Cotton Candy became Alani's top-selling new flavor in tracked channels. He emphasized building a more stable permanent core by moving successful limited-time flavors into everyday placements.
Fieldly added the Rockstar integration was completed in June on the planned nine-month timeline. His near-term focus is stability, core identity and improved velocity ahead of 2027.
Celsius Sees Margin Gains Offset by CommoditiesLanghans said second-quarter gross margin was approximately 48%, consistent with the first quarter, as outbound freight and integration benefits offset commodity inflation, primarily aluminum.
He expects third-quarter gross margin to remain in the high 40s at current diesel and aluminum levels. Integration savings should build through the back half, while price-pack architecture begins contributing.
Langhans said adjusted EBITDA was $184 million, or approximately 22.5% of revenues, compared with $210 million a year earlier, reflecting commodity pressure and brand investment.
CELH Q&A Points to a Gradual Q4 RecoveryA Stephens analyst pressed for the magnitude of a fourth-quarter CELSIUS recovery. Fieldly said improvement should build gradually as Celsius laps rationalization effects and gains better retail placement, rather than producing an immediate snapback.
Langhans said reported CELSIUS results will face a softer year-over-year comparison, while Alani must cycle a prior-year inventory build. Timing of 2027 innovation load-ins across Q4 and Q1 remains under planning with the DSD partner.
A Morgan Stanley analyst questioned delayed shelf-space gains. Langhans said timing ran behind initial expectations because cold fixtures required more labor and retailer investment, though July gains arrived and additional cold-space changes are planned for September and Q4.
Celsius Keeps Back-Half Focus on ExecutionLanghans framed the third quarter around service quality, network efficiency and moving more volume closer to retailers. He also said Celsius is adding merchandisers and sales representatives to improve in-stock execution.
Fieldly's broader posture remained centered on 2027, with renewed CELSIUS innovation, continued Alani expansion and a stabilized Rockstar platform shaping priorities coming out of the call.
CELH Zacks Signals Remain CautiousCELH currently carries a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell), with a Value Score of D, Growth Score of C, Momentum Score of F and VGM Score of D. Under the Zacks methodology, the rank reflects an unfavorable earnings-estimate revision trend, while the Style Scores sit below the preferred A or B range.
You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
With A ranking above B and lower grades less favorable, the Growth Score of C stands above the Value Score of D and Momentum Score of F, while the VGM Score of D keeps the combined style signal cautious for the one-to-three-month horizon. The Zacks Rank can change as analyst estimates are revised following the just-reported second-quarter results.
The billionaire founder of Rockstar Energy has purchased millions of shares of Celsius Holdings and is calling for the ouster of that company's CEO after its earnings miss this week.
Russ Savage now controls more than 12 million shares of Celsius, he told CNBC. Celsius markets its energy drinks to athletes and health-conscious consumers and has exploded in popularity in recent years.
Savage founded Rockstar in 2001 and sold it to PepsiCo in 2020 for a final purchase price of more than $4 billion, he said.
Savage's stake in Celsius amounts to roughly 4.7% of the company and would be worth about $300 million at current stock levels. While Savage has been quietly advising Celsius to change its cost structure and marketing strategy for over a year, he now says new leadership is needed.
"The CEO, the COO, the brand manager and the marketing manager all need to be fired," Savage told CNBC.
Celsius said in response that it is seeing continued demand and resilience across its base.
"We welcome ideas that are potentially value-creating from all Celsius Holdings shareholders," a company spokesperson said in a statement. "We remain focused on executing our total energy portfolio strategy to drive durable, long-term growth. Members of our Board and management team have engaged with Russ Savage many times over the past several years."
Celsius shares plunged 18% on Thursday after the company's second-quarter earnings missed analyst expectations, coming in at 36 cents per share versus the 43 cents expected by Wall Street, according to LSEG. Revenue of $817.9 million fell below the $870 million expected, and net income attributable to common shareholders fell by more than half compared to last year's second quarter.
On the company's earnings call, Celsius Chairman and CEO John Fieldly cited a product rationalization program and deliberate pause in innovation as main reasons for the shortfall. He said the company was managing the integration of Alani Nu, which it acquired last year for $1.8 billion, and of the Rockstar brand in the U.S. and Canada, which it acquired from Pepsi also last year as part of a long-term strategic partnership.
Pepsi continues to own the Rockstar brand internationally.
Fieldly said on the earnings call that the company may have been overly aggressive in reducing the number of products being sold to make way for newer lines. Still, he said, the company sells 1 out of every 5 energy drinks in the U.S., and the sector remains strong.
"We are a key growth driver for the energy category, and we are just beginning to unlock the full potential of our expanding portfolio," Fieldly said.
Savage, who was born Russell Weiner and started Rockstar with a $50,000 mortgage against his California condo, said he offered advice to Celsius over a year ago, but was largely ignored. He said Celsius has too many layers of management, with too many costs, and no real accountability.
"They need one person making the decisions, paying attention to every detail, not a group of people in a firing squad," he said.
Savage said the implication in the earnings call, that Celsius gave up shelf space to make way for its other brands, was a dire signal. In the fast-moving and hypercompetitive energy drink space, it's difficult for brands to reclaim shelf space once they've lost it, he said.
"Once you lose shelf space, you're dead," he said. "The chains will give it to Red Bull or Monster."
Savage said he's offering to take over as CEO before the problems become too deep to fix. When building Rockstar, he said, he managed every detail — from sales and marketing to sponsorships, packaging, distribution and innovation. He said the same type of cost-conscious, driven leader is needed at Celsius.
"I'm publicly volunteering to do it," he said. "The CEO has lost credibility with the investment community."
Savage said he's owned Celsius shares on and off for more than two years. He started acquiring his most recent stake in March, when the stock fell to the low $30 range. He said he bought the stock thinking it was undervalued and poised for a recovery. But he blamed what he called management missteps for the shares' continued decline.
"I didn't think they would wreck it this badly," he said. "Now I'm trying to help fix it."
Celsius stock now trades at about $27 per share after a sharp gain on Friday following CNBC's report of Savage's stake.
Key Takeaways Celsius Holdings' Q2 revenues rose 11% to $817.9 million, while adjusted EPS fell 23% to 36 cents.CELH's sales were driven by Alani Nu demand and Rockstar Energy, offset by weaker CELSIUS brand revenues.CELH's gross margin fell 340 basis points to 48.1%, while adjusted EBITDA declined 12% to $184.2 million.

CELH’s Quarterly Performance: Key InsightsCelsius Holdings’ adjusted earnings of 36 cents per share missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 42 cents and were down 23% from the year-ago number.
Total revenues of $817.9 million missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $883 million. However, the top line surged 11% year over year. The quarter reflected strong Alani Nu demand and Rockstar Energy contributions, partly offset by a decline in CELSIUS brand revenues.
Alani Nu generated $364.4 million in second-quarter sales, benefiting from strong consumer demand, higher orders from the company’s largest customer during the PepsiCo distribution transition and the limited-time Purple Cotton Candy launch. Rockstar Energy added $66.5 million in revenues. CELSIUS brand revenues decreased 11.7% year over year.
Gross profit increased 3.4% year over year to $393.7 million, but gross margin contracted 340 basis points to 48.1%. The decline reflected higher promotional and incentive activity as a percentage of revenues and channel mix, partly offset by acquisition-integration improvements and the absence of prior-year Alani Nu inventory step-up expense.
Adjusted SG&A was $233.8 million. As a percentage of net sales, adjusted SG&A expenses increased 50 basis points to 28.6% from 28.1% in the prior-year quarter.
Adjusted EBITDA declined 12% to $184.2 million, with the adjusted EBITDA margin falling to 22.5% from 28.4%.

Peter Lynch became one of Wall Street's top investors as the manager of Fidelity's Magellan Fund from 1977 to 1990. The fund delivered an average annual return of 29.2% during that period, beating the S&P 500 (^GSPC -0.16%) in 11 of those years and becoming the world's top-performing mutual fund. Under Lynch, its assets under management grew from $18 million to $14 billion.
As a proponent of value investing, Lynch often told investors to "invest in what they know" rather than chasing the hottest trends. He also said the person "that turns over the rocks wins the game." Let's see why that winning strategy still works in today's tumultuous market.

What does "turning over the most rocks" mean? Lynch believes that finding the next market-beating stocks requires looking through a large basket of companies. If you look at ten companies, you might see one interesting one, but if you study 100 companies, you could find ten promising stocks. By turning over more of those "rocks," investors are likely to stumble on hidden gems that Wall Street hasn't spotted yet.
Lynch says that many of those hidden gems are in boring, unglamorous, and overlooked sectors -- including small-cap stocks, local businesses, and obscure companies -- and don't usually make the financial headlines. He also believes investors should be proactive in turning over more rocks instead of sitting still and hoping their portfolios keep growing on their own.

Does that strategy still work today? In the age of the internet, instant stock screening tools, and AI-assisted investing services, it's much harder to find a hidden gem than it was during Lynch's historic run at Magellan. The rise of passive investing (via index funds and algorithmic trading) further erodes those advantages, and there are now fewer publicly traded companies than in the 1990s.
That said, Lynch's strategy still works with micro-cap and small-cap companies that haven't attracted much interest from analysts and institutional investors yet. Investors also still often shun "boring" but reliable sectors. For example, Waste Management (WM +2.03%) isn't glamorous, but it's delivered a total return of nearly 1,000% over the past 20 years.
Paying attention to what your family and friends are obsessed with can also still lead you to some promising stocks before those companies appear on Wall Street's radar. One of those companies was Celsius (CELH -17.91%), which attracted significant consumer attention with its health-oriented energy drinks before any big investors spotted its micro-cap stock. Therefore, Lynch's philosophy still holds up today -- even if our investment tools have changed.
