Is Celsius Holdings Stock a Buy Now?
Celsius stock is up over 50% this year. The company acquired competitor Alani Nu in April. Celsius' revenue growth is set to recover, but mostly because of its purchase of Alani Nu. 10 stocks we like better than Celsius › After massive declines in the second half of last year, Celsius Holdings (NASDAQ: CELH) stock may finally be ready for a comeback. The company's rapid growth came to a sudden halt (at least temporarily) as sluggish demand led one of its major distributors (likely PepsiCo) to dramatically scale back its orders. The beverage stock is down over 60% since its peak in early 2024. Still, it is up over 50% since the beginning of the year. The question for investors is whether that recovery signifies the beginnings of a Celsius comeback, or whether investors need to stay on the sidelines. Celsius has carved out a compelling, lucrative niche within the energy drink industry. Instead of pursuing customers like its larger competitors, Red Bull and Monster Beverage, Celsius targeted fitness enthusiasts. It also participated in clinical studies to validate the health benefits of its beverages. Celsius' beverages first became available in 2009. However, it was its distribution agreement with PepsiCo in August 2022 that helped sales take off. Since that agreement in the third quarter of 2022, quarterly revenues have increased by 75% even after the recent slowdown in sales. Additionally, that figure does not account for Celsius' takeover of Alani Nu, which occurred in the second quarter of this year. Before that purchase, Celsius also claimed approximately 11% of the market share, putting it in third place in the energy drink market. Still, investors should remember that it leads the health and fitness-oriented niche in the market, which will likely make it a major force in this industry. Amid the stock's partial recovery, Celsius sells at a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 127. Nonetheless, since it is recovering from last year's slump, the forward P/E ratio of 50 may better reflect the company's valuation, a level coming off historical lows. It is also well below the forward P/E ratio of 125 from the stock's peak in early 2024. That forward multiple arguably brings the stock price more in line with its current growth. Unfortunately, investors may still balk at Celsius' valuation as they brace for slower growth. In the first quarter of 2025, revenue of $329 million dropped by 7% yearly. That's a dramatic improvement over the 31% decline in Q3. Still, it is well below the 102% revenue gain in 2023. The falling revenue also led to a comprehensive income in Q1 of $37 million, well below the $63 million in the year-ago quarter. Revenue growth should improve in the near term due in part to the Alani Nu takeover. In 2025, analysts forecast 60% revenue growth. But once Celsius benefits from that one-time bump, they expect the revenue increase rate to slow to 21% in 2026. Knowing that, the most significant hope for bulls may lie in the company's potential internationally, where 96% of the world's population resides. Even though international sales made up 7% of revenue in Q1 2025, that part of the market grew revenue by 41% annually. Moreover, that revenue share was only 4% one year ago. Assuming it can continue to increase the proportion of international sales significantly, Celsius stock could deliver higher returns if revenue growth abroad remains strong. Over the long term, Celsius stock likely remains a buy. Admittedly, the 50 forward P/E ratio could point to some overvaluation in the near term. Furthermore, the immediate recovery in revenue will probably happen because of the buyout of Alani Nu, rather than an organic increase in Celsius brand products. Nonetheless, the 21% forecasted revenue increase in 2026 is an indication that demand will rise over time. Additionally, even though international growth will take some time, sales outside of North America are likely to become the company's primary revenue driver over time. Such potential indicates that Celsius' growth story is far from over, meaning its stock could still be positioned for huge gains. Before you buy stock in Celsius, consider this: The Motley Fool Stock Advisor analyst team just identified what they believe are the for investors to buy now… and Celsius wasn't one of them.

The Stock Market Is in Ultra-Rarified Territory and Doing Something for Only the 3rd Time in 154 Years -- and History Is Crystal Clear What Happens Next
Outsized volatility in the Dow Jones Industrial Average, S&P 500, and Nasdaq Composite has investors looking to history for guidance. An encompassing valuation tool with a perfect track record of predicting the future when back-tested to 1871 offers a warning to Wall Street. The stock market is a simple numbers game that rewards long-term investors who maintain perspective. 10 stocks we like better than S&P 500 Index › There are a lot of ways for investors to grow their wealth, including purchasing Treasury bonds, buying certificates of deposit from their local bank or credit union, acquiring real estate, or investing in commodities such as gold, silver, and oil. But none of these other asset classes has held a candle to the annualized return of stocks over the last century. However, there's a catch to putting your money to work in the greatest wealth creator on the planet: Stocks are inherently volatile. Although the ageless Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJINDICES: ^DJI), benchmark S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC), and innovation-inspired Nasdaq Composite (NASDAQINDEX: ^IXIC) have all decisively risen over multiple decades, their performance over shorter timelines is no more certain than a coin flip. Through the first five months of 2025, we've observed the broad-based S&P 500 launch to a fresh record closing high, which was followed by corrections in the Dow Jones and S&P 500 and the first bear market in three years for the Nasdaq Composite. In fact, a one-week period in April produced the fifth-biggest two-day percentage slide for the S&P 500 in 75 years, as well as the largest single-day nominal point gain in the index's history. When the stock market swings wildly, investors commonly look to history for guidance. Even though no specific data point or event can guarantee with concrete accuracy what's to come next, some of these metrics and events correlate very strongly with directional moves in the Dow Jones Industrial Average, S&P 500, and Nasdaq Composite throughout history. One such ultra-rare indicator, which has surfaced only three times for the S&P 500 when back-tested over the last 154 years, has foreshadowed what happens next for stocks with pristine accuracy. Historical data has uncovered a number of stock market correlations in recent weeks, many of which point to strong upside for equities over the next year. However, one of the rarest indicators, which is focused on stock valuations, suggests quite the opposite. To preface the following discussion, "value" is a subjective term. What you perceive as expensive may be viewed as a phenomenal bargain by another investor. Nevertheless, one valuation tool has a knack for cutting through this subjectivity: the S&P 500's Shiller price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio, which is also known as the cyclically adjusted P/E ratio, or CAPE ratio. The valuation tool investors are probably most comfortable and familiar with is the traditional P/E ratio, which divides a company's share price by its trailing-12-month earnings. While the P/E ratio is a fantastic measuring stick for mature businesses, it often gets tripped up by growth stocks and during periods of economic turbulence (e.g., the COVID-19 pandemic). In contrast, the Shiller P/E ratio is based on average inflation-adjusted earnings over the previous 10 years. Accounting for a decade's worth of earnings history and adjusting it for inflation offers the most apples-to-apples valuation comparison for investors. As of the closing bell on June 5, the S&P 500's Shiller P/E clocked in at a multiple of 36.52. For some context, this is more than double its historical average reading of 17.24 and slightly below its peak reading of 38.89 in December 2024 during the current bull market cycle. When back-tested to January 1871, there have been only three instances where the Shiller P/E has ever neared or surpassed 40: In December 1999, before the bursting of the dot-com bubble, the Shiller P/E peaked at its all-time high of 44.19. During the first week of January 2022, immediately prior to the start of the 2022 bear market, the S&P 500's Shiller P/E briefly touched 40. In recent months, the Shiller P/E has prominently vacillated between 35 and almost 39. The reason these specific figures are mentioned has to do with the correlation between Shiller P/E readings above 30 and the subsequent performance of equities. Including the above three instances, there have been six total occurrences since 1871 where the Shiller P/E has surpassed 30 and maintained this level for at least two months. Eventually (the keyword!), the Dow, S&P 500, and/or Nasdaq Composite lost between 20% and 89% of their value following these peaks. Even though the Shiller P/E is in no way a timing tool, it has foreshadowed the inability of the stock market to sustain an extended valuation over a long period, 100% of the time, spanning 154 years. Based on the current multiple of 36.52, significant downside in the major stock indexes is the expectation. Considering how strongly the Dow Jones, S&P 500, and Nasdaq Composite have bounced back from their mini-crash in April, the prospect of a meaningful pullback in all three indexes probably isn't what investors want to hear. Thankfully, history is a two-sided and completely disproportionate coin that overwhelmingly favors optimistic, long-term investors. As much as we might dislike the unpredictability and velocity of moves lower in one or more of Wall Street's major stock indexes, corrections, bear markets, and even crashes are perfectly normal, healthy, and inevitable aspects of the investing cycle. No specific fiscal or monetary policy changes can prevent these largely emotion-driven events from occurring. What's important to recognize is that these cycles aren't linear. In June 2023, shortly after the broad-based S&P 500 officially entered a new bull market, the analysts at Bespoke Investment Group published a data set to social media platform X (formerly Twitter) where they calculated and compared the calendar day length of every S&P 500 bull and bear market since the start of the Great Depression (September 1929). On one end of the spectrum, the benchmark index's 27 bear markets have lasted an average of 286 calendar days (about 9.5 months) since September 1929. Further, the longest bear market on record for the S&P 500 endured for only 630 days in the mid-1970s. Flipping the proverbial coin shows the average S&P 500 bull market stuck around for 1,011 calendar days, or approximately 3.5 times as long as the typical bear market. Additionally, if the current bull market were extrapolated to the present day, more than half (14 out of 27) of all S&P 500 bull markets have lasted longer than the lengthiest bear market. Regardless of how dire any specific data set or correlative event might appear, downturns have consistently been short-lived and have, eventually, always given way to new all-time highs. Maintaining perspective and being optimistic is a formula that consistently grows stock investment portfolios on Wall Street. Before you buy stock in S&P 500 Index, consider this: The Motley Fool Stock Advisor analyst team just identified what they believe are the for investors to buy now… and S&P 500 Index wasn't one of them.

GuruFocus has detected 5 Warning Sign with MSFT. Shares of Microsoft climbed to a record $467.68 on Thursday, up 0.8%, before adding another 0.6% on Friday to push its market cap past $3.5 trillion.

Microsofts stock has outpaced the broader Nasdaq (IND), rising 11% year-to-date compared to the indexs modest sub-1% gain. The software giant has been powered by robust growth in its cloud unit, Azure, where revenue jumped 28% year-over-year in Q3 FY25, and by its deepening partnership with OpenAI, which has driven strong demand for AI-powered services. Bernstein Societe Generale Group raised its price target on Microsoft to $540 from $520, citing significant upside potential as Azure continues to scale and AI integration expands across enterprise offerings. Bernstein analysts retained their Outperform rating, noting that Microsofts diversified revenue streamsfrom Office 365 subscriptions to LinkedIn and gamingprovide a hedge against macro uncertainties.
