(CELH) advanced 3.84% after renewed buying interest ahead of its upcoming quarterly earnings release, with wider attention on previous earnings volatility and pending class action lawsuits.

- Last quarter, Celsius Holdings missed estimates with $817.93 million in revenue and $0.14 per share in earnings, leading to a sharp share price drop.

Earnings volatility and lawsuits drive analyst and investor caution
Celsius Holdings is set to release its third-quarter 2026 earnings before the market opens on November 5, 2026, with analysts expecting revenue near $800.63 million and earnings of $0.34 per share. In the last quarter, the company reported revenue of $817.93 million and earnings of $0.14 per share, missing expectations and previously triggering a sharp share price decline. The company is also currently the subject of class action lawsuits related to securities, with a lead plaintiff deadline of November 3, 2026.
Bullish intraday signals contrast with overbought risks and weak trend
Celsius Holdings is trading above its 20-day and 50-day moving averages ($28.45 and $28.96), signaling short- and medium-term bullish momentum, but remains below the 200-day moving average ($34.28) which continues to indicate longer-term resistance. The nearest support is established at $30.53, with a near-term ceiling at $32.51. The 50-day average remains aligned below the 200-day, marking a prevailing bearish structure over the longer term. Technical indicators show the MACD in buy territory and Bull/Bear Power positive, reflecting intraday buying strength. However, the ADX at 13.07 denotes a weak trend, the RSI stays neutral, and both the Stochastic RSI and Commodity Channel Index are in overbought zones, highlighting possible correction risk. The Awesome Oscillator is currently neutral. The intraday price is near the daily high with volatility measured at 4.34%, and multiple oscillators indicate signs of overheating.
Earlier, analysts noted that Celsius Holdings was viewed skeptically compared to larger competitors, with concerns around its relative strength and risk profile. The current technical setup introduces potential for a near-term breakout, making a sustained move above $32.51 a key level to watch for bullish confirmation.
