In 2025, I will probably focus more on ETFs 🥺

All the stocks listed were bought for the first time in 2024. I simply had a lot of 🐷 / luck.

On the other side of the coin, I have realized some losses and am currently down 20% with one position and down 13% with another two, the rest are in the single-digit minus range and most of them are new additions.

And then of course there is the midfield, which is not worth mentioning.

My 3 biggest hopes for 2025 are

$CELH

$ III

$HYUD (+0%)

My biggest tenbagger opportunities: $JMIA (+2,64%) , $CELH and $ACHR

Investing always involves risk, but some stocks offer enormous growth potential. Here are my personal top 3 Tenbagger candidates:

1. Jumia Technologies $JMIA (+2,64%)

The "Amazon of Africa" operates in one of the fastest growing markets in the world. Despite challenges to date, the company could benefit from increasing internet penetration and the e-commerce boom in Africa.

2. celsius Holdings $CELH

The manufacturer of functional beverages such as energy drinks is showing strong sales growth and is expanding internationally. The brand has established itself as a fitness and lifestyle product, which offers further share price potential in the long term.

3 Archer Aviation $ACHR

This company develops electric air cabs and represents the future of urban mobility. With strategic partners and an innovative concept, Archer Aviation could revolutionize aviation and exploit an enormous market opportunity.

A top opportunity with 10x potential

The share of $CELH has attracted considerable attention in recent years. The company, which specializes in healthy energy drinks and functional beverages, is on the cusp of a new phase of growth. Why could $CELH now be one of the most exciting investment opportunities on the market - and why is a 10x upside potential in the coming years realistic?

---

1. strong growth figures and market position

$CELH has recorded rapid sales growth in recent years. Quarterly sales have regularly increased in the double-digit percentage range, driven by smart sales expansion in North America and internationally. The market for healthy beverages is growing rapidly, and $CELH is excellently positioned with its sugar-free, functional beverages.

Growth drivers:

Expansion in the USA: cooperation with large retail chains such as Walmart, Target and Costco.

International expansion: foray into markets such as Europe, Asia and South America.

Strong brand awareness: Influencer marketing and social media presence are growing the community around the brand.

---

2. market dynamics and future trends

The global demand for healthy alternatives to traditional energy drinks such as Red Bull or Monster is growing steadily. Consumers are increasingly paying attention to ingredients and health aspects. With natural ingredients and functional additives, Celsius offers exactly what the new generation expects.

Market potential:

The global market for functional beverages is estimated to be worth over USD 150 billion by 2030.

$CELH currently only has a small market share - an expansion to 10-20 % is quite realistic with aggressive marketing strategies and new products.

---

3. strong financial base and potential for margin increases

The company has already recorded profitable quarters despite strong growth investments. With an improved production and supply chain and increasing margins through direct sales channels, Celsius could achieve significant profit increases in the coming years.

Forecasts:

Analysts expect annual sales growth of 30-50% over the next five years.

Should $CELH captures even a fraction of the global energy drink market, its market capitalization could easily rise to 10 times its current valuation.

---

4. acquisition as a possible scenario

In view of its impressive growth figures and attractive market position, Celsius Holdings would also be an ideal takeover target for industry giants such as $PEP (+0,05%) or $KO (-0,4%) A takeover premium could quickly multiply the share price.

---

Conclusion: Why 10x is realistic

$CELH has all the ingredients for an explosive share price performance: a fast-growing market, a strong brand, a solid financial base and enormous expansion potential. With a consistent implementation of the growth strategy and possible takeover fantasies, a tenfold increase in the current share price in the next 5-7 years is by no means unrealistic.

For long-term investors, now could be the perfect time to invest in $CELH and benefit from this megatrend.

Normal people see drinks on the shelf.

POV: I see $CELH 📈 how that will go up.

best regards from Kuala Lumpur, Malysia

Does anyone have any ideas? It's not going so well. I still believe in $ZTS (+0,52%) and $CELH not so much in $BHP (-0,11%) but I would like to buy another stock or possibly a fund or maybe a crypto ETF?

$CELH is currently very present at the Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson event on Netflix. The floor of the boxing ring is printed with the Celsius logo and the winner of the first fight took a sip from a can and held the can up to the camera 😂

Cheers 🥂

I have now sold my small position $MNST (-0,16%) now sold.

I bought the position back on 23.03.2022 as it was included in various analyses and almost all analysts saw a buy in the share. As a result, I actually bought it quite naively. Simply to get back into the stock market after buying a house.

True to the motto: there can't be more than 0!

In the meantime, I no longer take such a naïve view and the current figures and forecasts for the coming years, as well as the situation surrounding $CELH and the general situation in the energy drinks sector have finally persuaded me to sell this position.

I will use the amount to increase the $ACWI again soon.
