Celsius Holdings Inc (CELH) fell 5.83% to $26.15 in early trading on Friday as analysts cut price targets following weak quarterly results. The stock opened with a -1.7% gap and traded lower throughout the session amid renewed skepticism about the company's short-term performance and strategic direction. Recent coverage has highlighted integration challenges and activist pressure, with several major firms lowering their price targets.
What Happened
The stock’s decline came after Stephens cut its price target for Celsius from $65 to $50, citing weak quarterly results. Goldman Sachs also weighed in, suggesting the company may remain range-bound during a transition year. Meanwhile, UBS, Citigroup, Morgan Stanley, and JP Morgan all reduced their price targets while maintaining positive ratings. The broader market has been skeptical of Celsius’s ability to sustain growth, with the stock down nearly 40% year to date despite a recent rebound. The CEO and other executives have made recent purchases, but the broader sell-off suggests lingering doubts about the company’s execution and valuation.
What The Data Shows
The stock opened at $27.29 and fell to a session low of $26.03 before settling at $26.15. Volume was 2.2 million shares, or 0.2 times the 3-month average, indicating limited liquidity. The 52-week range is $23.55 to $66.74, and the stock has declined 10.2% over the last eight sessions. Recent insider transactions include purchases by the CEO, president, and a director. Unusual options activity included a notable $837K call premium, but no put activity. With a market cap of $6.0 billion and a P/E of 110.1, Celsius remains expensive relative to earnings despite a recent drop.
What To Watch
The company is expected to report full-year recovery expectations in 2027, but near-term execution and integration challenges will remain in focus. Coverage breadth and any follow-up from activist investors will be key to watch.
