Monster Beverage Corp. began trading on a 2-for-1 split-adjusted basis on August 11, 2026. The split was structured as a 100% stock dividend, with shareholders of record as of July 24, 2026, receiving one additional share for each share they held. The new shares were distributed after the market closed on August 10.
On the day the split took effect, the stock's price hit a 52-week low of $45.72. This followed a recent decline of about 6% in the prior week after its second-quarter earnings announcement. However, analysts at Morgan Stanley reportedly view the market's negative reaction as excessive and see the current price as an attractive entry point, maintaining an Overweight rating.
