Celsius Market Value Climbs by $1.1 Billion Within a Week Despite Core Brand Weakness Challenging Surge

Celsius Holdings (CELH) stock rose 14.7% last week, increasing its market cap by $1.1 billion. The gain erased post-earnings losses, though the core CELSIUS brand saw a 11.7% revenue decline. Q2 revenue hit $817.9 million, up 10.6%, but margins and earnings fell. Management aims to restore CELSIUS growth, with a Barclays presentation scheduled for September 8.
