11:24 AM EST, 02/28/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Monster Beverage ( MNST ) is poised to offer "rebounding" topline growth this year, which will be in contrast to struggles at most of its consumer packaged goods industry peers, Morgan Stanley said in a note Friday.

The investment bank described the company's rebounding sequential organic sales growth in Q4 as a "standout" compared with the "muted" OSG results elsewhere in the industry.

"We still think the key driver of the stock will be a building pace of topline recovery that played out in Q4 even before much easier comparisons beginning in Q2 of 2025," Morgan Stanley said.

Morgan Stanley lifted Monster Beverage's ( MNST ) price target to $60 from $55 and maintained its overweight rating.

The company's shares were up 5.7% in recent Friday trading.
