Celsius Holdings looks cheap to its own insiders, and most people are sleeping on the company. The CEO, two directors and the President and COO bought roughly $2.5M of stock combined at about $28 a share, including $700K from the CEO and $1M from one director, per @meetblossomapp. Insiders putting their own money in on that scale signals someone thinks the stock is cheap. x.com x.comÂ
Celsius Holdings is worth buying even in a market that otherwise calls for net selling, on the strength of 138% revenue growth with M&A. It ranks among five stocks being added now while semiconductors such as AMD and Nvidia are trimmed. x.comÂ
Celsius overpaid for Alani Nu, and a Texas investigation now threatens the branding it paid for.

Celsius is tracking in line with management's projections, and Alani Nu is becoming surprisingly strong, setting up a great 2027 for shareholders. Per NielsenIQ data for the four weeks to September 19, Celsius Holdings' energy drink volume rose 9.8% with a 6.6% average price gain; the Celsius brand family fell 20% while Alani Nu rose 74.3% despite a 4% average price cut. x.comÂ
Celsius looks unattractive because its moats are thin and it does not control the supply chain that matters for its business. Q2 adjusted EBITDA fell 32% year over year and the stock is down 32% to a 52-week low since its Alani Nu acquisition rally. A better P/E would be needed to make it interesting. x.com x.comÂ
Celsius is an absolute steal at about 16 times adjusted free cash flow if management is right that its headwinds are short term. That is the kind of multiple mature, disruptable software companies have been getting recently. x.comÂ
