Celsius: The Growth Story Is Far From Over

Summary Celsius Holdings is initiated with a Buy rating despite a 50% stock decline over the past year. CELH maintains robust revenue growth, posting approximately 83% year-over-year gains, underscoring strong demand in the energy drink market. The stock trades at a 15-month forward P/E of 19x, a 27% premium to the sector median, yet fundamentals suggest room for rerating. Risks persist, and market sentiment may take time to shift, but CELH's growth profile justifies a constructive outlook. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha

Primo Brands: Strong Q2 Confirms Bullish Thesis

Summary Primo Brands Corporation is rated BUY, leveraging robust 2Q26 results, improved operating leverage, and a compelling valuation discount. PRMB raised 2026 sales guidance to +2–4% growth, driven by premium brand momentum and higher-margin direct sales outperforming expectations. Operational efficiencies, including delivery route optimization and internal driver hiring, have expanded EBITDA margins and enhanced free cash flow trends. Recent share price weakness from a major institutional sell-off presents a buying opportunity, with PRMB trading at a 28% EV/EBITDA discount to its peak. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha

Monster Beverage: An Exceptional Business At Full Price

Summary Monster Beverage continues to prioritize absolute gross profit dollars over margin percentages, especially as international sales grow. International expansion is a key revenue driver, and it also helps reduce concentration risk in the North American market. The concentration risk in the energy drink segment remains, however. Despite the recent pullback, the firm remains fully valued, with little to no margin of safety. For these reasons, I reiterate my hold rating. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha

PepsiCo: Buy The Dip, But Don't Expect An Easy Recovery

Summary PepsiCo remains a buy, supported by robust international growth and a 4.3% dividend yield, despite North American weakness. Q2 results highlight international strength offsetting sluggish North American recovery, with core operating margins under pressure and volume growth lagging expectations. Guidance for 2026 is reaffirmed, but EPS is likely to land at the low end of the range, hinging on a strong Q4 and tariff refunds. Valuation upside to $147–$156 is justified by peer multiples and historical EV/EBITDA, but further gains depend on successful execution and easing macro risks. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha
