Thu, 12 Mar 2026 00:00:00 -0400

Investing.com-- A recent pullback in a major U.S. energy drink maker’s shares presents an attractive entry point for investors despite near-term noise from macro pressures and competition, analysts at Jefferies said.

Shares of Monster Beverage Corporation have fallen about 11% from their February highs and now trade at roughly 29 times Jefferies’ 2027 earnings estimate, slightly below the company’s 10-year average multiple, the brokerage said in a research note on Tuesday, reiterating a “buy” rating and a $100 price target.

Jefferies analysts said the stock’s recent weakness reflects factors including rising gasoline prices, geopolitical uncertainty, and competitive launches from rival Red Bull

Jefferies Reiterates Buy Rating on Monster Beverage (MNST)

Wed, 11 Mar 2026 05:30:30 -0400

Jefferies analyst Kaumil Gajrawala reiterated a Buy rating and $100.00 price target on Monster Beverage (NASDAQ: MNST)

The analyst comments "MNST shares are 11% off Feb highs and trade at ~29x our 2027 earnings, or 1x below the 10Y average. Higher gas prices, Red Bull share gains, and geopolitical uncertainty create near-term noise. But long-term fundamentals remain intact. The U.S. Energy category continues to grow, Food service unlocks a new growth avenue, and International/affordable should drive incremental upside. The pullback is an opportunity. Reit Buy."
