How Some Mid Cap Stocks Outshone The S&P 400's Dramatic Drop Last Week (Mar 31-Apr 4)

Celsius Holdings's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CELH#NYSE">CELH</a>) short percent of float has fallen 15.55% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 28.39 million shares sold short, which is 15.64% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 3.3 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Celsius Holdings Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1743706822_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Celsius Holdings has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Celsius Holdings's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Celsius Holdings's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 5.06%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

Celsius Holdings's Options Frenzy: What You Need to Know

NBA player Stephen Curry and&nbsp;former First Lady Michelle Obama&nbsp;have launched Plezi Hydration, a sports drink with a health-conscious twist.
What Happened: Curry and Obama unveiled Plezi Hydration under the umbrella of Obama&#8217;s public benefit firm, Plezi Nutrition. The drink is a fresh addition to the NBA player&#8217;s expanding portfolio of off-court business ventures, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/03/26/stephen-curry-teams-up-with-michelle-obama-to-launch-sports-drink-.html">reported</a> CNBC.
In 2023, Obama launched Plezi Nutrition to promote healthier eating for kids, building on her &#8220;Let&#8217;s Move!&#8221; campaign from her White House years.
Plezi Hydration steps into the highly competitive sports drink market with a distinct emphasis on health and wellness. The beverage contains no added sugars or artificial sweeteners, has lower sodium than its competitors, and provides a full day&#8217;s supply of vitamin C.
Plezi Hydration, translating to&nbsp;&#8220;fun&#8221; in Creole, will be&nbsp;available in three flavors: lemon lime,&nbsp;tropical punch, and&nbsp;orange mango twist. The beverages will be available in California at Walmart (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>), Albertsons (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ACI#NYSE">ACI</a>), and Safeway, and nationwide on Amazon (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>). Each 16.9-ounce bottle will be priced at $2.29 and contain 70 calories.
Curry said,&nbsp;&#8220;We&#8217;ve created something with smart&nbsp;ingredients and unbeatable flavor, so&nbsp;people can fuel their bodies&nbsp;the right way. No nonsense,&nbsp;no shortcuts — because the&nbsp;next generation deserves better.&#8221;

Why It Matters: Functional beverages or healthier drinks are becoming a major part of the health and wellness market. According to NIQ research, innovation is transforming the industry, leading to 258 new product launches last year, featuring unique functions and ingredients.
The sports drink sector is dominated by three major brands: PepsiCo&#8217;s Gatorade (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PEP#NASDAQ">PEP</a>) with a 61% market share, Coca-Cola&#8217;s Powerade (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KO#NYSE">KO</a>) at 14.5%, and BodyArmor at 11.8%, as per Euromonitor International.
The launch of Plezi Hydration comes at a time when the beverage industry is seeing a shift towards healthier options.&nbsp;Celsius Holdings (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CELH#NASDAQ">CELH</a>)&nbsp;is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/content/44512107/healthy-energy-drinks-celsius-holdings-building-out-the-space">leading the charge</a> in creating a new category of healthy energy drinks. Meanwhile,&nbsp;PepsiCo is reportedly in talks to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/25/03/44339268/pepsico-reportedly-in-talks-to-acquire-poppi-amid-rising-demand-for-probiotic-drinks">acquire Poppi</a>, a healthier soda brand, indicating a rising demand for healthier beverages. 
Plezi Hydration&#8217;s&nbsp;focus on health and wellness&nbsp;could potentially disrupt the sports drink market, currently dominated by traditional high-sugar drinks.

Celsius Holdings's Options: A Look at What the Big Money is Thinking

Celsius Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CELH#NASDAQ">CELH</a>) shares are trading higher Monday likely reacting to news that PepsiCo Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PEP#NASDAQ">PEP</a>) is acquiring prebiotic soda brand <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/25/03/44358047/pepsico-bets-big-on-prebiotic-sodas-with-1-95-billion-poppi-acquisition-details">Poppi for $1.95 billion</a>.
What To Know: According to <a href="https://www.wsj.com/business/retail/pepsico-to-acquire-prebiotic-soda-brand-poppi-for-1-95-billion-94b8f773">The Wall Street Journal</a>, PepsiCo's acquisition includes $300 million in anticipated cash tax benefits, lowering the net purchase price to around $1.65 billion. The company also disclosed that the transaction could involve additional earnout payments if Poppi meets certain performance milestones within a set timeframe. Other terms, including the expected closing date, were not disclosed.
"As we look to reorient our portfolio offerings to address white space consumer needs, the Poppi brand's unique intersection with wellness and culture is a perfect addition to our portfolio," said Ram Krishnan, CEO of PepsiCo Beverages U.S.
Unlike probiotic beverages such as kombucha, which introduce new microbes to the gut, prebiotic sodas like Poppi contain dietary fibers that support existing gut bacteria. The brand uses inulin fiber, typically sourced from agave or chicory root.

Celsius Holdings Shares Climb As PepsiCo Acquires Prebiotic Soda Brand Poppi: What's Going On?

Celsius Holdings shares are trading higher. The stock may be up in reaction to Pepsi's deal to acquire poppi, which could lift other stocks in the beverage sector.

Celsius Holdings's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CELH#NYSE">CELH</a>) short percent of float has fallen 14.1% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 33.61 million shares sold short, which is 18.52% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 1.58 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure.
