Why Celsius Holdings Stock Is Surging After Hours

Celsius Holdings Inc (NASDAQ: CELH) shares are trading higher in Wednesday’s after-hours session after the company reported its third-quarter financial results.

Celsius said third-quarter revenue jumped 98% year-over-year to $188.2 million, which beat average analyst estimates of $161.91 million, according to Benzinga Pro. The company reported a quarterly net loss of $2.46 per share, which was down from a net loss of 13 cents per share year-over-year.

Celsius said its third-quarter results were negatively impacted by a $155.4 million expense in sales and marketing related to a termination expense of prior distributors recognized.

Celsius added an additional 550 coolers during the quarter and over 3,500 since the beginning of 2021. The company anticipates a continued acceleration of cooler placements through 2023.
