Monster Beverage Earnings: Robust Growth Continues Driven by Strong Demand and Wider Distribution
Monster Beverage grew second-quarter sales by 18% (currency-neutral). International was very strong, growing 29%. Adjusted operating margin contracted roughly 180 basis points to 29.5% driven by higher distribution, aluminum, and selling costs, as well as mix effect from higher international sales.
