Monster Beverage’s stock prices gained 1.4% in the trading session after the release of its mixed Q1 results on May 8. Its topline for the quarter was adversely impacted by distributors' ordering patterns in the US and EMEA, forex headwinds, and unfavourable weather conditions. Due to this, net sales dropped 2.3% year-over-year to $1.85 billion, missing the consensus estimates by a large margin. However, its adjusted EPS for the quarter increased 10.2% year-over-year to $0.47, surpassing the Street expectations for the first time in the past six quarters.

The stock holds a consensus “Moderate Buy” rating overall. Of the 20 analysts covering the MNST stock, opinions include nine “Strong Buys,” one “Moderate Buy,” eight “Holds,” and two “Strong Sells.” Its mean price target of $63.40 represents an 8.1% upside potential from current price levels.
