  "account": "Celsius Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: CELH) reported stronger-than-expected third-quarter results on Thursday, causing its shares to surge over 10% in premarket trading. The company's adjusted earnings per share of $0.41 surpassed analysts' consensus estimate of $0.34, while revenue of $847.2 million exceeded the projected $800.03 million. Total revenue rose 17% year-over-year, reaching $847.2 million from $725.1 million in the previous quarter.\n\nThe multi-brand portfolio of Celsius Holdings delivered mixed performance. Alani Nu, one of the brand's subsidiaries, showed remarkable growth with a 24% increase in revenue to $410.1 million, benefiting from expanded distribution through PepsiCo's Distribution Service Delivery (DSD) system and successful limited-time flavor launches. In contrast, CELSIUS brand revenue experienced a decline of around 6% to $356.8 million, primarily due to optimization efforts, shipment timing adjustments, and reduced demand in club channels. Rockstar Energy contributed $80.3 million in revenue for the quarter.\n\nInternational sales surged 78% to $41.0 million, driven by robust performance in Nordic markets and expansion in other regions. However, gross margin contracted to 46.8% from 51.3% in the same period last year, largely due to rising costs of commodities such as aluminum and fuel, as well as a shift in the sales mix towards the Distribution Service Delivery (DSD) channel. Despite the margin compression, adjusted earnings per share remained essentially flat at $0.41, matching the $0.42 recorded in the third quarter of 2025.\n\nJohn Fieldly, Chairman and CEO of Celsius Holdings, expressed satisfaction with the company's strong performance in the third quarter of 2026, attributing the achievement to the success of its scaled, multi-brand Modern Energy platform and the continued execution of its comprehensive energy portfolio strategy.",
