International expansion is a major part of the bull thesis on Celsius Holdings (CELH). During the beverage company’s last earnings call (transcript), management said they believe there are significant opportunities for incremental growth over the next three years to five years as they execute on the international expansion blueprint in a handful of countries in 2024. Celsius Holdings (CELH) CEO John Fieldly said opportunities for further global expansion are seen for 2025, 2026, and beyond. Potential targets for Celsius Holdings (CELH) expansion include U.K., Germany, Japan, and Australia.
