03:40 PM EST, 11/07/2025 (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 $10 to $75, based on a 2026 P/E of 33.3x, a justified discount to the stock's five-year average forward P/E of 34.5x. We raise our adjusted EPS estimates to $2.05 from $1.90 for 2025, to $2.25 from $2.15 for 2026, and introduce 2027 at $2.45. Following MNST's Q3 beat, we raise our estimates but maintain Hold on the shares. MNST posted Q3 adjusted EPS of $0.56 vs. $0.41 (+36%), well ahead of the $0.48 consensus. The company's net sales rose 17% to $2.20B ($90M above consensus) and gross margin expanded 250 bps to 55.7% (160 bps above consensus). The revenue increase was due to a 17.8% jump in case sales volume, as pricing was down marginally. Management commented that the global energy drink category continues to demonstrate solid growth. Results reflected the strength of its brands, with Monster Energy Ultra once again contributing significantly to growth. While MNST's execution has greatly improved recently, we view its valuation as fair at current levels.
