In an article, the Wall Street Journal recently cautioned how companies like Celsius are misleading customers about being a part of their “fit lifestyle” that claims to have health benefits.
In fact, medical experts argue that Celsius’s claims about fat-burning and boosting metabolism are “misleading.”
“The studies they use to justify their claims have substantial design flaws with small sample sizes and were conducted over short periods of time,” says Aviva Musicus, science director at the Center for Science in the Public Interest, a nonprofit consumer advocacy group, The Wall Street Journal added.
Meanwhile, Celsius stock has been stuck in a downtrend since Nielsen data from May showed that the company’s sales growth and market share were moving in the wrong direction.
Morgan Stanley warned at the time that tough sales comparisons over the coming quarters could lead to a change in sentiment in Celsius Holdings stock. Multiple analysts have weighed in on the stock since with several of them pointing to an inventory reduction from PepsiCo, Inc. PEP.
Price Action: CELH shares are trading higher by 0.32% to $52.80 premarket at last check Tuesday.
