Description: MNST Monster Beverage December 03, 2025
Monster Beverage Corp (NASDAQ:MNST) develops, markets, and distributes a broad portfolio of energy-drink and functional-beverage products worldwide, operating through four segments: Monster Energy Drinks, Strategic Brands, Alcohol Brands, and Other. Its lineup spans carbonated and non-carbonated energy drinks, iced teas, juice cocktails, dairy-based coffee drinks, sports drinks, still waters, and a growing suite of alcoholic offerings such as craft beers, flavored malt beverages, and hard seltzers, sold via bottlers, retailers, food-service channels, e-commerce, and the military.
Key recent metrics: 2023 revenue reached approximately $1.73 billion, with a net income of $610 million and diluted EPS of $2.30, reflecting a ~12% YoY revenue growth driven by the Reign and Bang sub-brands. The company’s market share in the U.S. energy-drink category remains around 30%, while its alcoholic-beverage segment contributed roughly 8% of total sales, indicating diversification beyond core energy drinks. Primary economic drivers include discretionary consumer spending trends, raw-material cost volatility (e.g., sugar and aluminum), and the shift toward low-sugar, functional beverages, which is reshaping product formulation and marketing strategies across the soft-drink sector.
