The brief

Celsius Holdings develops and markets functional energy drinks, hydration powders, and wellness beverages sold through convenience stores, supermarkets, fitness centers, and e-commerce platforms [Yahoo Finance]. The company operates three main brands: CELSIUS (its flagship functional energy line), Alani Nu, and Rockstar [Yahoo Finance].

Celsius Holdings manufactures and sells functional energy drinks under brands including CELSIUS, Alani Nu, and Rockstar in the United States and internationally [Yahoo Finance]. The company is currently facing multiple securities fraud lawsuits from shareholders [Simply Wall St] [Hastingstribune], while its CEO and a director recently purchased nearly $1.5M of stock on the open market [SEC Form 4] [Stocktwits].

Strong revenue and cash generation, but trailing earnings are depressed by a one-time charge that makes valuation metrics unreliable.

Figures come from company filings and market data. The Sentinellis health score and the wording attached to it are our interpretation of those figures, not numbers the company reported.

Not investment advice and not a recommendation to buy or sell. Sentinellis holds no positions in the companies it covers, takes no payment from issuers, and has no broker referral arrangements.
