Celsius Holdings combines a wide economic moat, a perfect Piotroski financial health score of 9 out of 9, 138% year-over-year revenue growth, and four consecutive earnings beats averaging over 55% surprise — exceptional fundamentals that are currently trapped in a confirmed price downtrend where the moving average slope is declining at 6.6% per month; the fundamental case is compelling for patient capital, but the technical picture calls for waiting on momentum stabilization before adding to exposure.

About Celsius Holdings, Inc.
About Celsius Holdings, Inc.
Pepsi accounted for 43.2% of Celsius Holdings' total net revenue in 2025, anchoring a portfolio that expanded in August 2025 when the company completed the Alani Nu acquisition for $1.275 billion in cash and equity consideration. The brand lineup now spans CELSIUS, Alani Nu, and Rockstar — distributed through grocery, convenience, fitness, mass-market, and e-commerce channels in the U.S., Canada, Europe, and Asia-Pacific. At year-end 2025, the company employed 1,497 people globally, including 1,322 in the U.S.
Celsius earns revenue through a distributor-led model anchored by Pepsi. Under the A&R Distribution Agreements effective August 2025, Pepsi serves as primary distributor for all three brands in the U.S. and Canada, with the arrangement running approximately 17 years and the first mutual termination window at year 19 (2041). Internationally, the Suntory Group covers the U.K., Australia, New Zealand, France, Monaco, Belgium, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands. The principal raw materials — aluminum cans, natural flavors, sweeteners, vitamins, and botanical extracts — are sourced from multiple suppliers, and the company states no dependency on any single supplier. The competitive set includes Monster Beverage Corporation, Red Bull GmbH, and Keurig Dr Pepper Inc.
Show full overview
The 43.2% revenue concentration in Pepsi extends beyond a typical customer relationship: Pepsi holds preferred equity investments in Celsius, designates two board directors, and under the Captaincy arrangement influences category management decisions including product facings and merchandising allocations. The 10-K discloses that Pepsi's increased ownership and board representation could create conflicts of interest or limit Celsius's flexibility in pursuing alternative distribution strategies. Any significant disagreement or termination of the Pepsi arrangements could prevent distribution of Celsius products and may adversely affect the company's financial condition.
