Since 2007, Monster Beverage Corporation (MNST) rises1,668% due to outlier inflows.

MNST develops, markets, distributes, and sells 11 different brands of drinks and concentrates, including its namesake Monster Energy brand. MNST’s first-quarter fiscal 2026 report showed quarterly net sales of $2.35 billion (a 26.9% rise), double-digit growth in all regions, net income per diluted share of $0.58 (a 27.6% rise), as well as returning $100 million to shareholders through repurchases. The company reports again on July 30.

It’s no wonder MNST shares are up 23% so far this year – and they could rise more. MoneyFlows data shows how Big Money investors are again betting heavily on the stock
