About: Monster Beverage is a leader in the energy drink category within the nonalcoholic ready-to-drink beverage market, generating two thirds of revenue in the US and Canada. The well-known Monster trademark includes brands such as Monster Energy, Monster Ultra, Java Monster, and Juice Monster. The firm also owns other energy drink brands, such as Reign, NOS, Burn, Bang and Mother, and brews and distributes beers and flavored malt beverages following the acquisition of a craft brewer in 2022. Monster controls branding and innovation but outsources beverage manufacturing and packaging to copackers and finished goods distribution to bottlers in the global Coca-Cola system (pursuant to a 20-year agreement inked in 2015). Coke is the largest shareholder of Monster with a 19.5% stake.

Monster Beverage: The Big Boy Seems To Be Struggling
Monster Beverage's stock outperformed the S&P 500, rising 16% versus a 5% index drop, driven by positive growth in the energy drinks sector. The company achieved a 4.9% sales growth despite a challenging year for American consumers and convenience stores, its largest distribution channel. Criticism remains on Monster's $3 billion share buyback timing, which occurred before a poor quarterly report, potentially missing greater shareholder value.
