Sentiment · FY2026 Q2
As of FY2026 Q1, the Tellvest earnings-call sentiment score for Monster Beverage (MNST) is 8/10.
Monster posted record fiscal-first-quarter net sales of $2.35 billion, up 26.9% year over year and crossing the $2 billion threshold for the first time in a fiscal first quarter, with double-digit growth across every geographic region. GAAP diluted EPS rose 27.6% to $0.58 from $0.45 and operating income grew 28.1% to $730.0 million, even as gross margin slipped to 55.0% from 56.5% on geographic sales mix (roughly a 120 basis point headwind), higher aluminum can costs, and out-of-orbit production freight. International was the standout, with sales up 44.9% to $1.06 billion, or about 45% of the total, and Monster overtaking both V and Red Bull to become the value market leader in Australia. Management flagged continued modest sequential cost increases from tariff-driven aluminum Midwest Premium pressure through at least the end of 2026, while pointing to April sales tracking roughly 24.4% above the prior year as evidence the momentum is carrying forward.
