About: Monster Beverage is a leader in the energy drink subsegment of the nonalcoholic 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: Growth Should Accelerate In The Coming Periods
I reiterate my buy rating for MNST, expecting growth to accelerate due to improved demand, price increases, and easier volume comparisons in FY25. Despite recent net sales growth deceleration, underlying demand remains strong, with constant currency sales up 4.7% y/y and improving sales trends. Monster Beverage's price increases are effectively passing through, and easier y/y comparisons in FY25 should drive significant revenue growth acceleration.

Best Energy Drink Stock to Buy Right Now: Celsius Holdings vs. Monster Beverage
I last pitted the investment case for energy drink giant Monster Beverage (MNST 0.56%) against that of health-focused challenger Celsius Holdings (CELH 2.79%) a couple of months ago. At the time, Monster stock looked robust but overpriced, while Celsius struck me as a risky but promising idea.
