Key Issues

Bullish view

Zacks expects double-digit Q2 growth, supported by energy-drink demand, pricing, innovation and international expansion.

Bearish view

The evidence does not confirm that the expected growth will be delivered, and broader beverage trends highlight value-conscious consumers and stubborn costs as risks to results.
