Roth Capital Maintains Buy on Celsius Holdings, Raises Price Target to $52

Shares of Celsius Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CELH#NASDAQ">CELH</a>) are soaring on Tuesday, up 5.9% at $45.37, and capping a remarkable 22% gain over the past month. The rally comes amid recent, bullish commentary from J.P. Morgan, which highlighted a significant acceleration in the U.S. energy drink market.
What To Know: Analyst Andrea Teixeira <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst-color/25/06/46004667/analyst-says-energy-drink-momentum-builds-in-may-celsius-outperforms">reported</a> that U.S. energy drink sales jumped 18% in May, a sharp increase from 14% in April and the category&#8217;s strongest growth rate since November 2023. 
The data revealed positive trends for the Celsius brand, which showed sequential improvement in both household penetration and buy rate, indicating stronger consumer purchasing frequency.
This positive market data <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst-color/25/06/46004667/analyst-says-energy-drink-momentum-builds-in-may-celsius-outperforms">reinforces</a> J.P. Morgan&#8217;s confidence in the beverage company. The firm reiterated its &#8220;Overweight&#8221; rating on Celsius Holdings, viewing it as a favorable growth-at-a-reasonable-price investment within the growing energy drink sector.

What Else: The analyst noted that even after a mixed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/05/45267580/celsius-stock-slips-after-q1-miss-but-analyst-sees-strong-long-term-growth-drivers">first-quarter</a> earnings report in May, underlying scanner data for Celsius has been improving. This suggests robust consumer demand and momentum, positioning the brand to continue capturing market share. 
Additionally, the recent market strength and positive analyst outlook signal growing investor confidence in Celsius&#8217;s growth trajectory amid favorable consumer health and wellness trends.
Wall Street Signals Strong Confidence: Recent analyst activity in June has been broadly positive for Celsius Holdings. On June 16, TD Cowen upgraded the stock from a Hold to a Buy and significantly raised its price target to $55. Just days earlier, on June 12, Stifel reinstated its coverage with a &#8220;Buy&#8221; rating and a $47 price target. 
These updates followed actions earlier in the month from firms like Truist Securities, Wells Fargo and Piper Sandler, which all maintained their existing Buy or Overweight ratings, signaling sustained confidence from Wall Street in the company&#8217;s outlook.
According to data from <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, CELH has a 52-week high of $61.25 and a 52-week low of $21.10.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy CELH Stock</h2>
By now you're likely curious about how to participate in the market for Celsius Holdings &#8211; be it to purchase shares, or even attempt to bet against the company.
Buying shares is typically done through a brokerage account. You can find a list of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-stock-trading-platforms">possible trading platforms here.</a> Many will allow you to buy &#8220;fractional shares,&#8221; which allows you to own portions of stock without buying an entire share.
In the case of Celsius Holdings, which is trading at $45.33 as of publishing time, $100 would buy you 2.21 shares of stock.
If you're looking to bet against a company, the process is more complex. You'll need access to an options trading platform, or a broker who will allow you to &#8220;go short&#8221; a share of stock by lending you the shares to sell. The process of shorting a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock">stock can be found at this resource.</a> Otherwise, if your broker allows you to trade options, you can either buy a put option, or sell a call option at a strike price above where shares are currently trading &#8211; either way it allows you to profit off of the share price decline.

Celsius Holdings To Offer & Sell Up To 22.5M Shares Of Common Stock By Selling Stockholder

J.P. Morgan analyst Andrea Teixeira highlighted a significant acceleration in U.S. energy drink sales, which jumped 18% in May from 14% in April, in a note on Wednesday. This marks the third consecutive month of improving 13-week rolling trends and the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings">strongest growth rate since November 2023</a>.
The acceleration stemmed from gains in both buy rate, which rose 88 basis points to 10% year-over-year, and household penetration, which climbed 113 basis points to 3.25% year-over-year.
Celsius Holdings (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CELH#NASDAQ">CELH</a>): Teixeira said the data also bode well for Celsius Holdings, as brand Celsius showed sequential improvement in household penetration and buy rate, suggesting better purchase frequency despite ongoing pressure.

Momentum remains strong for Alani Nu too, although growth across key performance indicators slowed slightly, with recent NielsenIQ data reinforcing signs of a positive inflection in brand Celsius.
The analyst reiterated an Overweight rating on Celsius Holdings.
Teixeira highlighted a slight uptick in household penetration for Celsius Holdings, rising 9 basis points to remain flat year-over-year, while Alani Nu held steady with a marginal 2-basis-point gain, maintaining a strong 391 bps increase versus last year.
Monster Beverage Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MNST#NASDAQ">MNST</a>): Teixeira noted that while the overall data remain solid for Monster Beverage, the outlook is more mixed as gains in household penetration are being partially offset by a slowdown in buy rate, reflecting reduced purchase frequency.
Teixeira noted that Monster Beverage saw a 168-basis-point slowdown in purchase frequency, bringing it to -1% year-over-year. The analyst maintains a Neutral rating on Monster Beverage.
Keurig Dr Pepper Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KDP#NASDAQ">KDP</a>): Teixeira observed a mixed setup for Keurig, with gains in GHOST offset by C4&#8217;s KPI slowdown, though both brands still show strength in NielsenIQ data.
The analyst maintains an Overweight rating on Keurig Dr Pepper (KDP).

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Celsius Holdings has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Celsius Holdings's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure.

Celsius Holdings Unusual Options Activity For May 15

Needham analyst Gerald Pascarelli maintains Celsius Holdings (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CELH#NASDAQ">CELH</a>) with a Buy and raises the price target from $45 to $47.

Needham Maintains Buy on Celsius Holdings, Raises Price Target to $47

JPMorgan analyst Andrea Teixeira reiterated the Overweight rating on Celsius Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CELH#NASDAQ">CELH</a>) on Wednesday, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/CELH/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">with a price forecast of $44.</a>
On Tuesday, the firm reported first-quarter adjusted earnings per share of 18 cents. It missed the analyst<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45223081/celsius-stock-fizzles-after-q1-miss-revenue-slide" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> consensus estimate of 19 cents</a>.
Quarterly sales of $329.28 million (down 7% year over year) missed the Street view of $344.03 million.
Teixeira pointed out several positive aspects, including improving retailer scanner data for Celsius—suggesting underlying strength beyond the headline last three weeks data—and accelerating momentum for Alani Nu.
Management's tone during the earnings call appeared cautious rather than overly optimistic since gross margin came in better than expected.

Given that investor positioning was likely skewed toward short interest ahead of the report, Teixeira writes that the post-earnings stock rebound may be partially driven by short covering after the market had time to digest the results.
The analyst maintains a &#8216;bullish&#8217; view on Celsius. The company boasts a favorable growth-at-a-reasonable-price (GARP) profile within the energy drinks category.
Teixeira also argues that energy drinks regained momentum, in contrast to most consumer packaged goods sectors. Consumption trends have generally weakened, making Celsius relatively more attractive in the current market environment.
Celsius also benefits from several consumer &#8220;megatrends&#8221; (i.e., health-conscious consumers demanding clean energy alternatives).
These broader trends are expected to support sustained growth and give Celsius a competitive edge. Teixeira writes that they enable the brand to capture additional market share both in the U.S. and international markets.
Price Action: CELH shares are trading lower by 0.20% to $35.45 at last check Wednesday.
