Monster’s Comeback Continues

MNST develops, markets, distributes, and sells energy drinks and concentrates. Its three main lines of business focus on the Monster brand, concentrates, and its subsidiary, American Fruits and Flavors LLC. The company’s brands include Monster Energy, Monster Ultra, Java Monster, Juice Monster, Reign, NOS, Burn, Bang, and Mother, along with beers and flavored malt beverages.

On the earnings report front, MNST’s first-quarter fiscal 2025 report showed a 2.3% decrease in net sales, though that was offset by a 56.5% rise in gross profit, a 6.2% increase in overseas sales (to $790.5 million), and a 7.4% jump in diluted per-share earnings (to $0.45). The company is optimistic about its prospects in China and India, which feature its Predator brand.
