On May 8, 2026, Morgan Stanley updated its price target for Celsius Holdings (NASDAQ: CELH), an energy drink company. The analyst lowered the target to $55. At the time, the stock's price was $34.26, meaning the new target suggests a potential upside of approximately 60.54% from that price.
This price target comes as Celsius Holdings reports strong first-quarter results, even while its stock trades near yearly lows. The company's revenue for the first quarter of 2026 increases 137.7% year-over-year to $782.60 million. This growth is almost entirely from the expansion of its Alani Nu brand, while the core Celsius brand grows by 6%.
The company also shows strong profitability. As highlighted by Zacks, Celsius Holdings reports earnings of $0.41 per share, which is significantly higher than the estimated $0.29 per share. Earnings per share, or EPS, is a company's profit divided by its stock shares, and a higher number often indicates better financial health.
As highlighted by Business Wire, net income, which is the company's total profit after all expenses, rises 148% to $110.10 million. Although its gross margin, the profit made directly from sales, falls to 48.3%, the company has an outlook for it to normalize above 50% in the future.
Despite these results, the stock's price is near its 52-week low of $31.80. The company has a market capitalization, or the total value of all its shares, of about $8.80 billion. It has also surpassed revenue and EPS estimates for the last four consecutive quarters.
