Description: MNST Monster Beverage September 26, 2025
Monster Beverage Corp. (NASDAQ: MNST) develops, markets, sells, and distributes a broad portfolio of energy-drink-focused beverages and related concentrates in the United States and abroad, leveraging a network of authorized bottlers and canners.
The firm is organized into four operating segments: Monster Energy Drinks, Strategic Brands, Alcohol Brands, and Other, each contributing to a diversified revenue mix that mitigates reliance on any single product line.
Its flagship lineup includes the Monster Energy, Monster Energy Ultra, Reign Total Body Fuel, and the recently acquired Bang Energy brands, while the Strategic Brands segment adds coffee-based drinks (Java Monster), juice-based options (Juice Monster), and the “Monster Tour Water” line. The Alcohol Brands segment now encompasses craft beers (Jai Alai IPA, Dale’s Pale Ale) and hard-seltzers (Wild Basin Hard Seltzers, Nasty Beast Hard Tea), reflecting a strategic push into the fast-growing “hard-seltzer” category.
Distribution channels span full-service bottlers, grocery and specialty chains, mass merchandisers, convenience stores, food-service accounts, e-commerce platforms, and even the U.S. military, giving Monster a broad retail footprint that supports its high-velocity sales model.
Founded in 1985 and headquartered in Corona, California, the company rebranded from Hansen Natural Corporation to Monster Beverage Corp. in 2012 to align with its core growth engine.
Key recent metrics: FY 2023 net sales reached $1.73 billion, a 12 % YoY increase driven largely by a 15 % rise in Monster Energy Drink volume; net income was $610 million, reflecting a 20 % margin expansion after cost-saving initiatives with its Coca-Cola bottling partnership. The energy-drink market’s CAGR of ~7 % (2020-2025) and the “hard-seltzer” segment’s double-digit growth remain primary sector drivers for Monster’s top-line outlook.
