Celsius Holdings stock rose sharply Thursday after the energy-drink maker beat expectations for revenue and earnings in the fourth quarter.

The company posted adjusted earnings of 26 cents a share in the period, surpassing analysts' consensus calls for 19 cents, according to FactSet. Revenue totaled $721.6 million, more than double from $332.2 million last year and above Wall Street's forecast of $638.9 million.

Celsius stock rose 14% in premarket trading Thursday. Shares had risen 95% over the last 12 months as of Wednesday's close of trading. Celsius was a Barron's stock pick in late 2024.

Celsius has garnered a committed base of customers, who increasingly treat the company's energy drinks like a daily coffee or a social beverage rather than a one-off jolt. At an investor conference last week, the company said 52% of its repeat consumers make five or more purchases, up from closer to 45% last year.

"It isn't just about recruiting new consumers," said CEO John Fieldly. "It's about becoming part of that daily lifestyle and daily routine."
