What Happened?

Shares of Monster Beverage (MNST) rallied over 4% on Monday, closing at $81.

This move comes as a massive “Defensive Sector Rotation” grips Wall Street.

While tech giants like Nvidia (NVDA) tumbled on news of escalating geopolitical tensions, investors fled to the safety of consumer staples.

The investors are betting that consumers will keep drinking energy drinks regardless of the economy. This trend lifted the entire sector, with peers like Constellation Brands (STZ) and Coca-Cola (KO) also posting strong gains.

Is Monster Beverage Undervalued Today?

Beyond the macro safety trade, TIKR’s data suggests the company’s fundamentals justify a higher price.

Speaking at the Morgan Stanley Global Consumer Conference, Chief Growth Officer Rob Gehring highlighted their “culture of innovation.”

EMEA President Guy Carling specifically pointed to the success of the “Zero Sugar” line.

He also noted their new marketing partnership with F1 driver Lando Norris as a key growth driver in Europe.

According to TIKR’s Advanced Valuation Model, this “flight to safety” still has room to run.

  • Advanced Model Price Target: $105
  • Current Price: $81
  • Potential Upside: +29.2%

The model assumes Monster can maintain an 8.9% revenue CAGR through 2030 as it expands its international footprint.

Conclusion: With a “Defensive Rotation” shaking out tech investors, Monster offers a rare combination of safety and double-digit upside potential.
