Monster Beverage Corporation's international business surged in the second quarter of 2026, with net sales to customers outside the United States climbing 34.6% to $1.16 billion, or about 46% of total sales, up from roughly 41% a year earlier. On a foreign currency-adjusted basis, international sales rose 29%, with EMEA up 27.2%, Asia-Pacific up 35.7% and Latin America, including Mexico and the Caribbean, up 56.1%. Among key markets, China sales jumped 62.5%, India rose 84% and Brazil advanced 82%. Management said overseas markets generally carry lower gross-margin percentages than the U.S. business, so a rising international mix can weigh on the consolidated margin rate even as it adds profit dollars, while the company also faces inflation in aluminum, freight and fuel. Monster Beverage, which carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold), has seen its shares appreciate 38% over the past year and trades at a forward 12-month price-to-earnings multiple of 36.59X, well above the industry average of 19.32X.
