Meet Samuel – Your Personal Investing Prophet

Celsius Holdings ( (CELH) ) has shared an update.

On May 7, 2026, Celsius Holdings reported record first-quarter 2026 revenue of $782.6 million, up 138% year over year, driven largely by the acquisitions of Alani Nu and Rockstar Energy and their integration into PepsiCo’s distribution network. The company’s portfolio reached about a 20.9% dollar share of the U.S. ready-to-drink energy category, contributing 45% of the zero-sugar U.S. energy segment’s growth, although gross margin declined to 48.3% due to lower-margin acquired brands.

Net income for the quarter rose 148% to $110.1 million and diluted EPS doubled to $0.33, while adjusted EBITDA surged 181% to $195.5 million, reflecting increased scale and operating leverage. Celsius also repurchased $24.1 million of its shares, trimmed selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue, and reported strong international growth, underscoring its strengthening leadership in the competitive energy drinks market despite margin pressure from rising commodity costs and integration effects.

The most recent analyst rating on (CELH) stock is a Hold with a $47.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Celsius Holdings stock, see the CELH Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on CELH Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, CELH is a Neutral.

The score is anchored by solid underlying financial performance and a constructive earnings-call outlook that points to improving margins as integration headwinds fade. This is materially offset by weak technicals (persistent downtrend and negative momentum) and demanding valuation (very high P/E), which increase downside risk if execution or margin normalization slips.
