Celsius Holdings Inc's stock price increased by 5.03%, reaching a 5-day high. This surge is attributed to a remarkable 173% year-over-year revenue growth, bolstered by its partnership with PepsiCo, enhancing its market presence in the energy drink sector.
The partnership with PepsiCo has significantly improved Celsius's distribution capabilities, allowing it to capitalize on the growing demand for healthier beverage options. Analysts view this collaboration as a key driver of Celsius's recent success, despite the overall market decline, with the Nasdaq-100 down 0.15% and the S&P 500 down 0.21%.
Investors are optimistic about Celsius's growth trajectory, although the stock carries a Zacks Rank of #3 (Hold), indicating a more cautious approach compared to PepsiCo's stable investment outlook. The strong performance today reflects investor confidence in Celsius's ability to continue expanding in a competitive market.

Overweight
Reason
Piper Sandler raised the firm's price target on Celsius to $65 from $61 and keeps an Overweight rating on the shares. The firm notes Celsius looks well-positioned to beat Q4 2025 estimates. Piper believes consensus and buyside Q4 2025 sales estimates look appropriate and may have some modest upside if Alani Nu's transition was smooth, as appears likely.

The firm, which has a Buy rating and $70 price target on the shares, thinks the stock is positioned to benefit from continued energy drink category strength, and with the Alani transition now largely complete, this should result in incremental distribution opportunities, which should build over the course of the year.
