Celsius Holdings (CELH) recently reported robust quarterly results, with both earnings and revenue surpassing expectations. The company posted an earnings-per-share (EPS) of $0.14 against an estimate of $0.11, and revenue reached $332 million, exceeding the anticipated $325 million. Despite this beat, revenue experienced a decline of 4.4%, influenced by significant factors including Pepsi's destocking. Experts believe that the recent acquisition of Alani Nu may enhance market share and target the women's market, although caution persists as the stock is still perceived as risky due to its substantial drop from near $100 to $25. While some analysts express optimism for a potential turnaround, others remain skeptical about its valuation and the impacts of recent industry trends, indicating a lack of confidence until revenue stabilizes.
EPS of 14c beat estimates of 11c; revenue of $332M beat estimates of $325M. EBITDA of $62.9M crushed estimates of $42M. Revenue did fall 4.4%. International revenue was very strong, up 39%. Margins rose 2.4 points. It was a good quarter, and few were expecting much. The acquisition of Alani Nu makes sense. It is a big purchase, but it consolidates market share, adds more exposure to the women's market, and will be accretive in its first year. A mix of stock and cash, it should add to long term growth and strengthen CELH's overall position within the sector. The big move today will scare some of the short sellers (26%). We think the bottom has likely been seen now here with the stock and it will likely work its way up higher over time. We would be less inclinded to chase this in today's frenzy, however.

At some point, CELH is going to become a very very attractive buy. But right now it is a falling knife, having dropped from near $100 to today's $25, in a relentless rollover. It has cash and earnings growth, but we would not yet consider it 'value' since it is still at a 37X earnings valuation. The product is good, we think, but Pepsi's de-stocking has been brutal to the company, and revenue fell 31% in the Q3. We need this to at least level out to get some confidence back.
