Monster Beverage Corp (MNST.O)

Updating MNST Model To Reflect 2:1 Stock Split

CITI'S TAKE

We update our MNST model to reflect the company's 2-for-1 split of its

common stock. On July 8, MNST announced that its Board had approved

and declared the stock split, with each stockholder of record on July 24,

2026 to receive a dividend of one additional share of common stock for

each then-held share, which was distributed after close of trading on

August 10, 2026 (see our note here). MNST's common stock will begin

trading at the split-adjusted price today, August 11, 2026. We update our

target price to $57 to reflect the stock split, still a ~43x multiple 2027E

P/E, but now on our post-split 2027 EPS estimate of $1.32.
