Research Alert: CFRA Maintains Hold Opinion On Shares Of Monster Beverage Corporation

07:10 AM EDT, 08/08/2025 (MT Newswires) -- CFRA, an independent research provider, has provided MT Newswires with the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:

We increase our 12-month price target by $5 to $65, based on a 2026 P/E of 30.2x, a justified discount to the stock's five-year average forward P/E of 34.6x. We raise our adjusted EPS estimates to $1.90 (from $1.80) for 2025 and to $2.15 (from $2.00) for 2026. Following MNST's Q2 beat, we are raising our estimates but maintaining a Hold opinion. The biggest positive of the release was the MNST's unexpectedly strong volume growth (a 17.5% increase in case volumes), which represented a significant acceleration from recent quarters. While we think it remains to be seen whether the growth is sustainable, MNST's non-U.S. net sales growth was particularly strong (+16% Y/Y) and represented 41% of total net sales in Q2. Most of the concerns surrounding the MNST story have revolved around the company's declining market share in the U.S. energy drinks market (down 370 bps to 26.8% over the last five years), but it is becoming clearer that MNST's international growth potential has been underestimated.
