CluenexCelsius Holdings CELH
Celsius Holdings scores average on business quality (5.6 of 10). Here is why, in plain words, and what our sealed record shows.
Why it matters
- What Celsius Holdings does
Celsius Holdings sells fitness-focused functional energy drinks, generating revenue primarily through retail and distribution partnerships with health-conscious consumers paying for lifestyle-branded beverages.
- What it does best
Celsius dominates growth through functional positioning, hitting a revenue growth rate of 85.5% that places it in the top decile of its sector at the 99th percentile, easily outpacing competitor MNST's 10.7% growth.
- The main risk
Distribution heavy reliance creates vulnerability if retail partners alter shelf space, threatening the volume engine that drives its explosive top-line gains.
Quality, check by check
Scored against its own industry, from company filings.
Operating margin sits at a thin 5.3% while net margin rests at 2.0%, compressing as rapid scaling costs weigh on near-term earnings power.
Brand appeal captures fitness consumers, securing a gross margin sector percentile of 71, though a low moat score reflects limited structural lock-in against rivals like MNST.
Revenue surged to $3.0B, backed by an extraordinary 85.5% growth rate that vastly outpaces its historical cadence.
Total debt sits at $677.0M against $399.0M in cash, while free cash flow reached $463.0M, getting stronger as cash generation improves.
