Celsius shares jump on Q1 earnings beat and record revenue as portfolio scales

Celsius Holdings, Inc. (CELH) is up 7.2% today. Here is some analysis on what might have caused this price movement.

Analysis: The move appears tied to the company’s first-quarter 2026 earnings release, which showed record revenue and profitability metrics that came in ahead of market expectations. Investors also likely reacted positively to commentary around portfolio integration and U.S. market share gains, alongside continued capital returns via share repurchases.

Details:

The company reported Q1 2026 revenue of $782.6 million (up 138% year over year), with growth heavily influenced by the Alani Nu and Rockstar Energy acquisitions.

Adjusted diluted EPS was $0.41 (vs. $0.18 a year ago) and diluted EPS was $0.33 (vs. $0.15 a year ago), alongside adjusted EBITDA of $195.5 million.

U.S. tracked-channel retail sales for the combined Celsius/Alani Nu/Rockstar portfolio rose 29.8% for the 13-week period ended March 29, 2026, with an approximate 20.9% U.S. energy category dollar share.

The company disclosed approximately $24.1 million of share repurchases during the quarter, which can support sentiment around shareholder returns.
