Analysis

Hope premium

Monster Beverage Corporation carries what we call a hope premium: an average business trading at an ambitious price. One caution: reported profits have recently run ahead of actual cash, which we track closely.

The price is expensive. You pay 44.3× its owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year, which is in the historically expensive zone. At today's price, the market is assuming roughly 17% yearly growth; analysts expect 12%. The gap between price and consensus is worth watching: demanding expectations.

The trajectory is solid and accelerating and the balance sheet is sturdy. The company scores 18/20 on our value-creation score: strong value creator. Analyst sentiment is cautious.

What to watch: Reported profits have run ahead of actual cash for several periods. As always: this describes the company's numbers; it is not a recommendation.
