Law Offices of Howard G. Smith announces an investigation on behalf of Celsius Holdings, Inc. (“Celsius” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: CELH) investors concerning the Company’s possible violations of federal securities laws.
On May 27, 2024, Morgan Stanley reported that weekly retail data showed Celsius with slowed sales growth and cautioned that the Company faced difficult sales comparisons over the next several quarters as it rolled over the anniversary of its Distribution Agreement with Pepsi.

Then, on September 4, 2024, the Company disclosed during a conference that Celsius’ sales to Pepsi were reduced from “roughly around [$]100 million to [$]120 million . . . from what [Pepsi] ordered last quarter,” and that Celsius was “still seeing these inventory levels being reduced” and that it had “increased” in the third quarter of 2024. On this news, Celsius’ stock price fell $4.11, or 11.3%, to close at $32.39 per share on September 4, 2024.
Then, on November 6, 2024, Celsius released its third quarter 2024 financial results, revealing a 31% decline in revenue and a 37% decline of gross profit due to “promotional allowances, incentives, and other billbacks as a percentage of gross revenue” resulting from Pepsi’s drawdown. On this news, Celsius’ stock price fell $1.69, or 5.3%, to close at $30.04 per share on November 6, 2024, thereby injuring investors further.
