Is this normal for this company?

Each figure against the range this same company has produced recently. Neither end of a range is the good end.

Price to earnings

16.446.8

Share price divided by the earnings actually reported over the four most recent quarters. The range is the same calculation at each of this company's last few results, so roughly the past year.

How these ranges are built

Every number here is the company's own reported figure, not a comparison with other companies. The ranges come from this company's own results and its share price. Where it reports in a different currency from the one its shares trade in, the price-to-earnings range is left out rather than mixing the two.

What does Celsius Holdings, Inc. do?

Celsius makes energy drinks that are marketed as a healthier alternative to traditional sugary options, often targeting gym-goers and active lifestyles. Those cans are sold through major retailers, gyms, and online platforms, and that is where the money comes from. How well they sustain rapid sales growth as they expand into more shops and international markets is the thing to follow.

On our factor screen it looks strongest on value and quality, and weakest on momentum.

Does Celsius Holdings, Inc. pay a dividend?

No - Celsius Holdings, Inc. doesn't currently pay a dividend, so the whole return would rest on the share price. Plenty of growing companies reinvest their profits instead of paying them out - neither approach is better or worse, they're just different.

Does Celsius Holdings, Inc. have more cash or more debt?

It holds about $631.23M in cash against about $674.85M of debt - so it has net debt of about $43.62M. Debt is not automatically a problem - it funds growth - but it has to be serviced and repaid, which matters more when profits wobble.

From the latest reported balance sheet. Cash and debt levels change, and some borrowing is normal - this is context, not a judgment.

$716-28%

Over about 2 years to 2026-09-11. This is the share price only; any dividends would add to it. And it's the USD return - as a UK investor your actual £ return also moves with the exchange rate. Past performance is not a guide to the future, and it could just as easily have fallen.

Over the last 2 years of daily prices, Celsius Holdings, Inc. fell as much as −63% from a high to a later low. Falls like this are normal when you own a share.

Past falls are not a forecast - it can fall further, or recover.
