Continued optimism surrounding Celsius Holdings’ strategic distribution deal with PepsiCo, appears to be driving the stock. The distribution deal initially shifts the current U.S. distribution of Celsius to PepsiCo's solid capacities. Apart from this, PepsiCo will make an investment in Celsius to fuel its growth agenda, as part of the agreement. The prospects of the deal look encouraging, given the combination of Celsius’ robust brand momentum and PepsiCo’s strong portfolio and go-to-market capacities.

Earnings and revenue growth expectations certainly give a good sense of the potential strength in a stock, but empirical research shows that trends in earnings estimate revisions are strongly correlated with near-term stock price movements.

For Celsius Holdings Inc., the consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 6.7% lower over the last 30 days to the current level.
