Monster Beverage is trading 4% up at $47.42 today, following an upgrade from Citi, which raised its price target to $57 from $56.50 with a Buy rating. This positive movement comes after the company reported strong second-quarter results on August 6, 2026, with revenue reaching $2.50 billion, exceeding expectations, and strong performance in international markets. The stock's rise is notable given broader market weakness, suggesting company-specific optimism and continued momentum in zero-sugar products and global demand.
