Shares of Celsius Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:CELH) are trading sharply lower Thursday morning, despite the company reporting third-quarter 2025 results that surpassed analyst expectations on both revenue and adjusted earnings. Here’s what investors need to know.
What To Know: The beverage company announced third-quarter revenue of $725.11 million, representing 173% growth from the prior-year period. This figure narrowly beat the $717.69 million consensus estimate.
The company attributed the revenue surge to the acquisitions of Alani Nu and Rockstar Energy, as well as 44% revenue growth for its core CELSIUS brand.
Adjusted earnings per share came in at 42 cents, beating the 28-cent analyst estimate.
However, the company reported a GAAP net loss of $61.0 million, or 27 cents per share. The quarterly loss was driven by a $246.7 million distributor termination charge associated with moving Alani Nu’s distribution to the PepsiCo system.
Celsius stated that PepsiCo has agreed to fund these termination fees, which will result in a net neutral cash position for the company.
What Else: Goldman Sachs on Thursday reiterated its Buy rating and $72 price target for Celsius Holdings following the company’s third-quarter results.
The firm was impressed by 173% revenue growth, including 44% growth from the core CELSIUS brand, and a rise in U.S. energy drink market share to an “impressive” 20.8%.
Analysts at Goldman Sachs view the risk/reward as favorable, arguing the market under-appreciates future upside from continued share gains and margin expansion, making the current valuation attractive relative to the company’s growth trajectory.
Benzinga Edge Rankings: Benzinga Edge stock rankings, which help identify strong and weak stocks, give Celsius high marks for Momentum (92.21) and Growth (80.71), but a very low Value score of 7.25.
CELH Price Action: Celsius Holdings shares were down 27.27% at $43.57 at the time of publication on Thursday, according to Benzinga Pro data.

Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share – or fractional share – of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument.
For example, in Celsius Holdings’ case, it is in the Consumer Staples sector. An ETF will likely hold shares in many liquid and large companies that help track that sector, allowing an investor to gain exposure to the trends within that segment.
