What Happened?

What Is The Market Telling Us
Celsius’s shares are very volatile and have had 28 moves greater than 5% over the last year. In that context, today’s move indicates the market considers this news meaningful but not something that would fundamentally change its perception of the business.
The biggest move we wrote about over the last year was 12 months ago when the stock gained 39% on the news that the company delivered exceptional fourth quarter 2024 results, which blew past analysts' EBITDA, EPS, and revenue estimates, suggesting the struggles surrounding its controversy with Pepsi, where it oversold inventory to the behemoth, could be approaching the rearview mirror. Separately, the company announced its acquisition of Alani Nu, a popular up-and-coming energy drink brand. Zooming out, we think this was a solid quarter.
Celsius is flat since the beginning of the year, and at $47.71 per share, it is trading 26.4% below its 52-week high of $64.86 from October 2025. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Celsius’s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $2,343.
