lechatnoir/E+ via Getty Images Investment Thesis Celsius Holdings ( CELH ) is a beverage company that has been one of the greatest growth stories of the last decade. In 2019, under the leadership of CEO John Fieldly, the company achieved meaningful profitability and has shown operational leverage as the company rapidly scaled up over the following years. The energy drink space is highly competitive, but Celsius has found something of a niche, and it has a long way to go before it has completely saturated the market. The stock is down roughly 37% in 2026, with two earnings reports to speak of that were highly favorable, but some concerns have popped up over the new Kirkland Signature energy drink , which are weighing heavily on Celsius's share price. With a continued market presence supported by PepsiCo's ( PEP ) further investment in the company and the game-changing growth provided by the Alani Nu acquisition, I see significant upside ahead for the stock. Looking at the company's trailing P/E multiple would indicate that the stock does not appear optically cheap; however, forward P/E estimates of around 19x earnings indicate that the stock is actually now the cheapest it has been in the last five years. At this time, Celsius is garnering a lot of attention on the back of the Alani Nu acquisition and the Pepsi investment, with financial results really beginning to show up in the company's quarterly earnings reports. The new competition from none other than Costco's ( COST ) Kirkland Signature brand is also a major reason the stock has sold off in recent months, and in my opinion, concerns seem largely overblown. Concerns about competition may continue to put pressure on the stock, but continued revenue and market share growth in the company's core products support a Buy rating at this time. Introduction It has been quite some time since I have written about Celsius Holdings, so this article will be a refreshing update for readers. Since I wrote my very first article...

Congressman Thomas Massie, chastized by the US president as a ‘lowlife’, will soon face the ballot box – setting up a crucial test of Trump’s political strength At Pee Wee’s Place , a bar and restaurant in Crescent Springs, northern Kentucky, biscuits and gravy go for $6 and liver and onions for $14.75. The walls are adorned with US flags, sports memorabilia, amusement machines, a TV showing Fox News and a poster that proclaims: “Let the gays get married. Let the rednecks have their guns. Let the atheists be atheists. Let the Christians be Christians. America is about FREEDOM.” Sitting at the bar, John Johnson, 78, and his son Lance, 47, are discussing an upcoming election in which Thomas Massie , a maverick congressman, is aiming to prove that a Republican can defy Donald Trump and survive. “I’m leaning to Massie because I like his attitude when it comes to being straight up on issues,” says John, a contractor who voted for Trump in 2024. “Him and Trump beat off each other every now and then, but he’s a constitutionalist, he speaks his piece and he’s right a lot of times.” Continue reading...

Move follows upsetting viral video of ray being manhandled into unmarked boat in Florida waters last year Wildlife officials in Florida will continue to allow threatened giant manta rays to be taken from the ocean, but have tightened their policies after a viral video showed a captured ray in severe distress, and a bipartisan group of politicians called for an end to the controversial practice. Members of the Florida fish and wildlife conservation commission (FWC) voted on Wednesday to adopt an amended final rule reserving the right to say when and where rays can be captured for “responsible exhibition” in the US.

The Turkish photographer was enchanted by this scene of a flower seller and monks on a lake in Myanmar Alahattin Kanlioğlu had worked in the faculty of communications at Ege University in Izmir, Turkey, for more than two decades before he took this image. A photography specialist, he first visited Myanmar in 2019, and was so captivated by the region that he returned in December 2025 to host a photography workshop. As part of the trip, the group of six visited Inle Lake, in the Shan Hills. “The people of this region live in wooden houses built on tree stumps. Some surround the lake, but others are on the water, as if they’re floating,” Kanlioğlu says. “Agriculture and fishing are two of the main livelihoods here and, uniquely, the fishers use foot-controlled oars to steer the boat, keepinga hand free for their catch.” Continue reading...
