Bin dabei
Over the last few years, we have seen tons of upstart, smaller companies break in and challenge the behemoths of the space. Be it Under Armour against Nike or Chipotle becoming the fast food standard in the arena in which McDonald’s has long reigned, smaller (relatively speaking) companies are taking a bite out of the leaders in the space.
Another great example of this trend is with Monster Beverage (MNST - Analyst Report). The once unknown firm has risen to prominence and is now a $23 billion company. And while the company is best known for its namesake of Monster Energy drinks, MNST has branched out into sodas, juices, and teas too, becoming a formidable player in the sector.
Though MNST has already seen great growth, the company actually has solid prospects to continue this run well into the future. This is especially true when investors look to recent earnings estimate revisions as analysts seem to still be bullish on the company’s prospects.
Earnings Estimates
Over the past thirty days, it is hard to find an analyst that has not become more bullish on MNST. For the current year, the current quarter, and next year time frames, not a single analyst in our consensus has lowered their estimate, while eight have raised their estimates for the current year time frame alone.
These moves have led to a modest increase in the consensus too, showing just how much analysts believe in the near term prospects of MNST. And with the latest revisions to earnings estimates, MNST is expected to post EPS growth of 20% both this year and the next.
And while these lofty expectations might be a little concerning to some, it is worth noting that MNST is riding a nice winning streak when it comes to earnings season, including its most recent report where it beat estimates by 22%. While a series of misses are before this nice run, it may just be that MNST has finally figured out to match estimates and clearly this is paying off for Monster stock.
Thanks to these factors, it shouldn’t be too surprising to note that MNST has earned itself a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy). This means that we are expecting strong levels of outperformance to continue from this company in the near term and that we are looking for the solid growth levels for MNST to remain the story for this beverage stock.
Bottom Line
If you are seeking a company to shake up the stodgy beverage market, look no further than Monster Beverage. The company has burst onto the scene and has really made a name for itself with its novel lineup of products.
Customers seem to be embracing this approach too, as we have seen an impressive trend for MNST recently, including operating income that has doubled over the past five years. And with current analyst estimate revision trends moving in the right direction, it is hard to argue that MNST is an excellent stock that is worthy of closer inspection right now.
