<ul class="summary-bullets"><li>As consumers shift toward health-focused options, the energy drinks sector has surged into the spotlight this year.</li><li>Monster and Celsius stocks have had sharp gains this year, with both companies expanding their portfolios through deals.</li><li>Analysts favour Celsius over Monster for the former’s aggressive posture and high-growth potential.</li></ul>Consumers are becoming more health-conscious and rethinking coffee, sodas, and&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/us-alcohol-consumption-record-low-health-concerns-rise-survey-finds-2025-08-13/">even alcohol</a> – a shift that has quietly powered a boom in the energy drinks category this year.The trend has fueled momentum for Monster Beverage Corp. and Celsius Holdings, Inc. Celsius, in particular, upped the ante by acquiring rival Alani Nu, founded by fitness influencer Katy Hearn, for $1.8 billion earlier this year.With their unique strengths in a growing market, both Monster and Celsius have emerged as strong bets for investors. But which one should you choose? &nbsp;<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1600/1200;" src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/koyfin_20251216_045313381_png_2ca39af5c0.webp" alt="koyfin_20251216_045313381.png" width="1600" height="1200"></figure><h2 class="st-heading-2">Crunching The Numbers</h2>Analysts and market performance favour Celsius for its aggressive posture and high-growth potential, while Monster provides the stability and global scale of a mature leader.Interestingly, Celsius stock has become more attractive after a significant drop last month following the company’s quarterly report. While earnings came in above estimates, investors were spooked by a $247-million charge related to Alani Nu’s distribution moving to the PepsiCo system, and concerns about future sales disruption. PepsiCo is a minority investor and the primary distributor for Celsius beverages.Still, Celsius stock is up over 66% year to date, beating Monster's 42%-plus gains.Although primarily due to acquisitions (Rockstar Energy in the U.S. and Canada from PepsiCo), Celsius’s YTD revenue growth is significantly higher than Monster’s. Analysts also seem to favour Celsius (see table).<figure class="table" style="float:left;"><table class="ck-table-resized"><colgroup><col style="width:33.33%;"><col style="width:33.33%;"><col style="width:33.34%;"></colgroup><tbody><tr><td style="border:0.75pt solid #000000;padding:1pt 1pt 5pt;vertical-align:bottom;">&nbsp;</td><td style="border:0.75pt solid #000000;padding:1pt 1pt 5pt;">Monster Beverage</td><td style="border:0.75pt solid #000000;padding:1pt 1pt 5pt;">Celsius Holdings</td></tr><tr><td style="border:0.75pt solid #000000;padding:1pt 1pt 5pt;">Key Offerings</td><td style="border:0.75pt solid #000000;padding:1pt 1pt 5pt;">Global energy-drink powerhouse spanning Monster Energy, Reign, Bang, and legacy Coca-Cola brands, with a growing but still small alcohol portfolio</td><td style="border:0.75pt solid #000000;padding:1pt 1pt 5pt;">Pure-play energy drinks company, focused on fitness-centric, zero-sugar energy drinks distributed globally through Pepsi</td></tr><tr><td style="border:0.75pt solid #000000;padding:1pt 1pt 5pt;">Revenue Growth (Nine Months Of 2025)</td><td style="border:0.75pt solid #000000;padding:1pt 1pt 5pt;">8.50%</td><td style="border:0.75pt solid #000000;padding:1pt 1pt 5pt;">75%</td></tr><tr><td style="border:0.75pt solid #000000;padding:1pt 1pt 5pt;">Price-To-Earnings (NTM)</td><td style="border:0.75pt solid #000000;padding:1pt 1pt 5pt;">34.4</td><td style="border:0.75pt solid #000000;padding:1pt 1pt 5pt;">30.2</td></tr><tr><td style="border:0.75pt solid #000000;padding:1pt 1pt 5pt;">Market Cap</td><td style="border:0.75pt solid #000000;padding:1pt 1pt 5pt;">$73.1B</td><td style="border:0.75pt solid #000000;padding:1pt 1pt 5pt;">$11.3B</td></tr><tr><td style="border:0.75pt solid #000000;padding:1pt 1pt 5pt;">YTD Move</td><td style="border:0.75pt solid #000000;padding:1pt 1pt 5pt;">42.40%</td><td style="border:0.75pt solid #000000;padding:1pt 1pt 5pt;">66.30%</td></tr><tr><td style="border:0.75pt solid #000000;padding:1pt 1pt 5pt;">Stock Forecast (Based On 12-Month Avg.

In August, Coca-Cola took a 16.7% stake in Monster in a $2.15 billion deal, swapping its global energy business for Monster’s non-energy brands.The deal gives Monster "enhanced access to the Coca-Cola Company's distribution system, the most powerful and extensive system in the world. At the same time, we become The Coca-Cola Company's exclusive energy play," Monster chairman Rodney Sack said at the time.Meanwhile, Celsius is streamlining its portfolio and operations, with analysts saying the near-term focus is misplaced and that the long-term benefits of the PepsiCo partnership and the Alani Nu acquisition remain intact. The company announced a $300-million share buyback last month.“The thing about Celsius is that they have it everywhere now. Every gas station, grocery store, even sandwich shops are selling it.

Grubhub will reportedly pay $7.1 million to settle a class action lawsuit alleging it falsely advertised partnerships with thousands of restaurants.According to a Reuters report, on Tuesday, the restaurants filed a preliminary settlement in the federal court in Chicago. The report added that the settlement requires a judge’s approval.Reuters noted that the plaintiffs’ lawyers said in a court filing that the settlement class includes about 387,000 businesses. The filing stated that the online food delivery platform Grubhub advertised without the consent of these businesses that they participated in its delivery services.The report said that Grubhub listed these restaurants on its website and affiliated platforms without formal agreements, prompting allegations that the company damaged the reputation of these businesses. The restaurants claimed this unauthorized inclusion led to consumer confusion and a decline in sales.Grubhub had agreed to pay $25 million last year to settle another lawsuit brought by the Federal Trade Commission and Illinois' attorney general, which claimed that the online food delivery firm listed restaurants without their consent. The lawsuit alleged that the company misled customers about order fees and also duped drivers about pay.Reuters said Grubhub has denied any wrongdoing in settling both cases.
