Monster Beverage Earnings: International Continues Driving Robust Growth but Creates Mix Headwind
Monster Beverage increased third-quarter sales by 16% (currency-neutral). International remained a growth engine, up 28%. Adjusted operating margin contracted 250 basis points to 29.2%, driven by higher distribution, aluminum, and selling costs, and a mix effect from higher international sales.
