TOMORROW’S TRADE IDEA, TODAY

Why Are Investors So Cold on Celsius?

Caffeine Crash

Energy drink maker Celsius Holdings (CELH) was once one of Wall Street’s favorite stocks, but that has since changed. Around four months ago, the stock’s momentum started to slow — alongside the company’s growth outlook.

This past Wednesday saw the stock plummet 12% following management’s announcement at a conference that orders from a major distributor had fallen year-over-year. Now, the stock is down roughly two-thirds from its peak in May. 

However, some analysts believe investors are overreacting, and the stock still has a lot of upside. 

Energetic Initiatives

Celsius is ramping up its grocery store distribution, online sales, and overseas expansion. Its low-calorie and sugar-free products are considered a healthy alternative to other energy drinks — an important consideration for American consumers increasingly striving for a healthier lifestyle. 

Additionally, the company has partnered with major sports events and leagues, while collaborating with social media influencers to increase brand awareness. 

Its efforts may soon pay off. Analysts are predicting 20% annual earnings growth for the next three years.

Buying Opportunity?

Despite its recent selloff, Celsius shares are still trading at a fairly high multiple of 30 times 12-month forward earnings. However, this is the lowest multiple the company has traded at since becoming profitable in 2019. 

Three of five analysts polled by FactSet have given Celsius a Buy rating and an average price target of $62.69 for the next 12 months — which represents around a 94% upside. 

While its burst of energy (and extreme growth) may be over, the company still has a lot of potential. Analysts don’t believe that is reflected in the current stock price, which could present a great buying opportunity.
