Morgan Stanley said the size and summer timing of the increase suggest longer-term rationality as the category shifts toward consistent, mix-driven pricing.
Earlier in June, Morgan Stanley analyst Dara Mohsenian raised the firm’s price target on Monster Beverage to $103 from $100 and maintained an Overweight rating.
