Celsius Holdings Inc. shares fell up to 18% after second-quarter revenue missed analyst expectations and flagship brand sales declined 12%.
Shares of Celsius Holdings Inc. dropped as much as 18% in premarket trading on August 6, 2026, following second-quarter financial results that missed analyst expectations.
