Celsius Holdings (NASDAQ:CELH) Bolsa, Informe de interés en corto

Celsius Holdings

Celsius Holdings plays in the energy drink subsegment of the global nonalcoholic beverage market, with 96% of revenue concentrated in North America. Celsius' products contain natural ingredients and a metabolism-enhancing formulation, appealing to fitness and active lifestyle enthusiasts. The firm's portfolio includes its namesake Celsius Originals beverages, Celsius Essentials line (containing aminos), and Celsius On-the-Go powder packets. Celsius dedicates its efforts to branding and innovation, while it utilizes third parties for the manufacturing, packaging, and distribution of its products. In 2022, Celsius forged a 20-year distribution agreement with PepsiCo, which holds an 8.5% stake in the business.

Celsius Holdings Inc

Hooters of America is huddling up with its creditors to cook up a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/bankruptcy">bankruptcy restructuring plan</a>. 
The famous BBQ wing chain has enlisted legal heavyweights at Ropes &amp; Gray to prep the filing, according to <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-02-21/hooters-in-talks-to-prepare-a-bankruptcy-filing-in-coming-months?srnd=homepage-americas&amp;sref=TBDibEcD">Bloomberg</a>. The court showdown could kick off within the next two months.
Known for its crop-top uniforms and winking owl mascot, Hooters is trying to get its financial house in order with help from turnaround pros at boutique firm Accordion Partners. 
Meanwhile, some of its lenders have brought in Houlihan Lokey to also advise the process.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What Else Is On The Bankruptcy Block?</h2>
Hooters isn&#8217;t the only sit-down dining spot feeling the heat of Chapter 11. 
Mediterranean fast-casual chain Rōti, for example, recently sold out of bankruptcy. According to <a href="https://www.chicagobusiness.com/restaurants/roti-sold-out-bankruptcy-edible-arrangements-founder">Crain&#8217;s Chicago</a>, a private-equity firm led by the founder of Edible Arrangements agreed to take it over. 
Rōti will retain 17 of its 19 locations once the deal is complete.
The culprit behind these filings? Fewer customers waltzing through doors thanks to <a href="https://www.emarketer.com/content/dining-inflation-remains-higher-than-food-home--forcing-restaurants-compete-on-value">inflation</a>. Plus, supply chain headaches, and soaring interest rates are pushing menu prices skyward. As a result, more folks are opting to cook at home. 
More than a dozen major restaurant groups or franchisees waved the white flag and filed for bankruptcy last year, including <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/38992673/the-craziest-parts-of-the-red-lobster-bankruptcy-story-revealed">Red Lobster</a> and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/m-a/24/11/41700829/deal-dispatch-tgi-fridays-goes-bankrupt-bhp-backtracks-comments-and-more-m-a-news">TGI Fridays</a>.

Consumer Sentiment Drops 10%, UnitedHealth Under Investigation: What's Driving Markets Friday?

Celsius Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CELH#NASDAQ">CELH</a>) stock is trading higher on Friday after the company reported better-than-expected fourth-quarter earnings on Thursday and announced an agreement to acquire Alani Nutrition.
The Details: Celsius reported adjusted earnings per share of 14 cents, beating analysts&#8217; estimate of 11 cents. In addition, the company reported sales of $332.20 million, beating analysts&#8217; estimate of $327.97 million, but representing a 4% decrease year-over-year.
Celsius attributed the sales decline to the negative impact of higher domestic allowances from various programs, including the distributor incentive program. 
The company also announced it will acquire Alani Nutrition LLC for $1.8 billion, which includes $150 million in tax assets, making the net purchase price $1.65 billion. Celsius expects the acquisition to generate $2 billion in sales and be cash EPS accretive in its first year.
John Fieldly, Chairman and CEO of Celsius, said, &#8220;We have deep respect for the strong community of supporters and fans Alani Nu has developed and the authentic brand and partnerships they have formed. Together, we expect to broaden the availability of Alani Nu&#8217;s functional products to help more people achieve their wellness goals with great-tasting, functional product options at more moments throughout their lives.&#8221;

Highlighting the fixed income opportunities, Scott Wren, the senior global market strategist at Wells Fargo said that investors should move money out of short-term instruments and into higher-yielding investment-grade fixed income further out on the maturity spectrum.
&#8220;We have conviction around our year-end target range of 4.50% – 5.00% for the U.S. 10-year Treasury note, and on that basis, we see attractive fixed-income opportunities for investors,&#8221; he said.

Celsius Holdings Stock Surges On Q4 Earnings Beat, Alani Nu Acquisition

Celsius Holdings shares are trading higher after the company announced it will acquire Alani Nu for $1.65 billion.

Founded in 2018, Alani Nu is a female-focused brand that delivers functional beverages and wellness products that are aspirational yet accessible for a growing community of Gen Z and millennial consumers.&nbsp;
Upon closing, Alani Nu will operate within Celsius, and key members of the Congo Brands leadership team have agreed to continue as advisors to Celsius to help ensure continued business momentum.
Under the terms of the agreement, Celsius has agreed to acquire Alani Nu from co-founders, Katy and Haydn Schneider, and Congo Brands' Co-Founders, Max Clemons and Trey Steiger, for $1.8 billion comprising a mix of cash and stock including a potential $25 million earn-out based on 2025 performance.&nbsp;
This includes approximately $150 million net present value of tax benefits for a net purchase price of $1.65 billion and represents an attractive valuation of less than 3x 2024A revenue of $595 million and approximately 12x fully synergized 2024A EBITDA of $137 million.

Finally -- what's the point of all this? The key insight to take from this article is to note how much of a difference compounded returns can make in your cash growth over a period of time.
This article was generated by Benzinga's automated content engine and reviewed by an editor.

If You Invested $100 In This Stock 10 Years Ago, You Would Have This Much Today

Celsius Holdings's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CELH#NYSE">CELH</a>) short percent of float has risen 18.37% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 37.19 million shares sold short, which is 20.49% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 5.23 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?utm_source=insights&amp;adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Celsius Holdings Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1739993426_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Celsius Holdings has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Celsius Holdings's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure.
