Research Alert: CFRA Reiterates Buy Opinion On Shares Of Celsius Holdings Inc.
May 8, 2026 10:04 AM

12:35 PM EDT, 05/08/2026 (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 lower our 12-month target by $15 to $55, based on a 2027 P/E of 24.4x, a justified discount to CELH's historic average multiples. We increase our adjusted EPS estimates by $0.10 to $1.85 for '26 and by $0.15 to $2.25 for '27. Following CELH's Q1 earnings beat, we are raising our estimates and reiterating a Buy on the shares. CELH's net sales rose 138% to $782.6M ($22.0M above consensus), but gross margin contracted 400 bps to 48.3% (40 bps below consensus) on acquisition mix and integration costs. While we weren't thrilled by CELH's 2025 acquisition of Rockstar Energy and how the growth of its legacy CELSIUS brand has slowed dramatically (brand revenue up only 6% in Q1), the Alani Nu acquisition was a transformational deal that continues to pay off and drive growth. Beverage companies are facing significant fundamental headwinds, but CELH stands out from a growth perspective, and we think investors can expect continued debt reduction and share repurchases going forward, which should help boost EPS.
