Deep dives

Exceptional Stock Performance

Monster Beverage has demonstrated remarkable stock performance over the past 25 years, outpacing major tech giants like Apple and Amazon. An investment of $10,000 in Monster back in 1999 would have grown to approximately $11 million today, with compounded annual returns exceeding 27% since 1992. Despite a recent slump, where the stock is nearing its 52-week lows, the historical data suggests that Monster has proven to be a resilient choice for investors. This impressive track record raises the key question of whether Monster can sustain its status as a high-performing investment moving forward.
