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.

For investors looking for a top growth stock to buy now, I'd say the reality is there aren't many great options out there from a valuation standpoint.
Celsius Holdings remains undervalued, with investors overreacting to short-term distribution disruptions tied to the PepsiCo transition. CELH's Q3 2025 revenue soared 173% to $725.1M, but Q4 results will be 'noisy' due to inventory returns and network changes. Despite temporary headwinds, both the Celsius and Alani Nu brands are expected to drive strong 2026 growth and margin improvement.
CELH posts a 51.3% Q3 gross margin, but acquisitions, tariffs and integration costs raise questions about sustaining the gains.
