Celsius Holdings Downgraded: Analyst Cautions Weak Consumer Environment, No Meaningful Recovery Projected Until Summer 2025
BofA Securities analyst Jonathan Keypour downgraded Celsius Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:CELH) from Neutral to Underperform, lowering the price forecast to $32 from $60.
美銀證券分析師喬納森·凱普爾將Celsius Holdings, Inc.（納斯達克股票代碼：CELH）的評級從中性下調至表現不佳，將價格預期從60美元下調至32美元。
Although the energy drink category had been consistently growing at a sustainable rate of +4-5% annually, the analyst notes that this growth began to decline earlier this year.
儘管能量飲料類別一直以每年+4-5％的可持續速度增長，但分析師指出，這種增長在今年早些時候開始下降。
According to the analyst, the slowdown in the category will have an outsized impact on Celsius. The analyst has not forecasted meaningful recovery until next summer.
根據分析師的說法，該類別的放緩將對攝氏度產生巨大影響。這位分析師直到明年夏天才預測有意義的復甦。
The slowdown was partly due to the company's rapid growth rate since 2021, which has further impacted the current weak consumer environment.
經濟放緩的部分原因是該公司自2021年以來的快速增長，這進一步影響了當前疲軟的消費環境。

鑑於從2024年第一季度到第三季度的銷售額連續急劇下降，分析師決定下調對第四季度及以後的預期。
Keypour reduced the sales forecasts for FY24, FY25, and FY26 by 6%, 18%, and 23%, respectively.
Keypour將24財年、25財年和26財年的銷售預測分別下調了6％、18％和23％。

更值得注意的是，截至7月27日的尼爾森最新數據顯示，總體攝氏度的銷售增長正在放緩，這促使分析師將第三季度的銷售預期下調了12.6％。
