Celsius Holdings posts 31% retail sales growth in Q3, boosting U.S. market share as Alani Nu and CELSIUS brands drive gains.
Celsius Holdings is upgraded to a 'soft buy,' reflecting enhanced Pepsi partnership, recent acquisitions, and improved strategic alignment. Pepsi's new 'captaincy' role centralizes distribution, inventory planning, and retail execution for CELH, Rockstar, and Alani Nu, addressing past destocking issues. Acquisitions of Alani Nu and Rockstar expand CELH's growth avenues, but integration and distribution transitions may drive near-term volatility.
CELH is an even better Buy after the recent market over-reaction, with the Alani Nu acquisition already triggering renewed growth opportunities and expanding energy drink dollar share. This is especially since the integration of Alani Nu into PEP's distribution channels are likely to trigger its outsized prospects from FQ1'26/FY2026 onwards. Otherwise, the management has highlighted a potential bottom-line impact in FQ4'25, arising from integration costs, year end promotions, and freight/tariff pressure.
