How Celsius makes money

The company earns revenue by selling branded energy drinks, hydration powders, and wellness products wholesale to distributors and retailers, using direct-to-store delivery and independent distributors, and also sells through e-commerce platforms.

What is Celsius worth?

On an owner-earnings DCF, Celsius's most-likely value is about $65 versus a recent price near $29 (127% below fair value). But TacticScale only calls a stock undervalued when the price sits below its conservative no-growth floor (~$21) with a margin of safety — so the honest verdict here is “Fairly priced — no edge.” Fair value earns its keep only at the extremes, not in the wide middle.

Verdict: Fairly priced — no edge
Owner-earnings fair value · recent price ≈ $29
Fair value (most likely)
$65
Range
$37–$144
No-growth floor
$21
Price
~$29

Price sits in the normal range — fair value isn't actionable here; it earns its keep only when price drops below the no-growth floor, or runs to roughly double the optimistic case.

Analysis, not advice. Fair value is a margin-of-safety estimate from a deterministic owner-earnings DCF, not a price target or recommendation. See the full breakdown →
