Here is the one-year chart of Celsius (CELH) as of March 19, 2024, when the stock was at $86.

Celsius’ revenue soared 95% last quarter as North American sales almost doubled. North America’s revenue increased by 97%, driven by the company’s expansion in colleges, hospitals, hotels, eateries, casinos, and Jersey Mike’s locations. Internationally, revenue went up by 68%, driven by new flavors, better availability, and more people buying Celsius drinks. Meanwhile, profit surged to 242% surpassing estimates of 233% as gross margin improved to 47.8% from 44.8% last year.

One negative point in the earnings call was the CEO stating “We have achieved nearly complete distribution coverage in the United States.” This dampens growth opportunity, but there is a whole new world to conquer Internationally.
