Celsius Holdings swung to a profit in the fourth quarter as revenue more than doubled, fueled by recent acquisitions and continued consumer demand.
The energy-drink company on Thursday posted a profit of $24.7 million, or 4 cents a share, compared with a loss of $18.9 million, or 11 cents a share, a year earlier.
Stripping out certain one-time costs, earnings were 26 cents a share. Analysts polled by FactSet had expected adjusted earnings of 19 cents a share.
Revenue more than doubled to $721.6 million, up from $332.2 million last year. Wall Street had modeled a top line of $638.9 million. The company attributed the jump to its acquisition of Alani Nu and Rockstar Energy over the past year, as well as significant ongoing customer demand.
Chief Executive John Fieldly said that company has reached an approximate 20% dollar share of the U.S. energy drink category during the recent quarter. "We are entering 2026 with positive momentum, scale and confidence," he added.
Shares jumped 18%, to $59.51, in premarket trading.
