Revenue Growth

Examining a company’s long-term performance can provide clues about its quality. Any business can put up a good quarter or two, but the best consistently grow over the long haul.

With $2.52 billion in revenue over the past 12 months, Celsius carries some recognizable products but is a mid-sized consumer staples company. Its size could bring disadvantages compared to larger competitors benefiting from better brand awareness and economies of scale. On the bright side, it can still flex high growth rates because it’s working from a smaller revenue base.

As you can see below, Celsius’s sales grew at an incredible 56.7% compounded annual growth rate over the last three years. This is an encouraging starting point for our analysis because it shows Celsius’s demand was higher than many consumer staples companies.

This quarter, Celsius reported magnificent year-on-year revenue growth of 117%, and its $721.6 million of revenue beat Wall Street’s estimates by 13.5%.

Looking ahead, sell-side analysts expect revenue to grow 28.5% over the next 12 months, a deceleration versus the last three years. Despite the slowdown, this projection is noteworthy and indicates the market is forecasting success for its products.
