[Form 4] Monster Beverage Corporation Insider Trading Activity

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Monster Beverage Corporation (MNST) Form 4 – insider activity dated 07/10/2025

Director Jeanne P. Jackson was credited with 375 Deferred Stock Units (DSUs) on 07/08/2025 under the company’s Deferred Compensation Plan at a reference price of $61.59. After the transaction, Jackson beneficially owns 34,275 DSUs and 2,748 Restricted Stock Units (RSUs).

The RSUs will vest 100% on the last business day before the 2026 annual meeting, contingent on continued board service. No dispositions or non-derivative share transactions were reported, indicating a modest increase in insider ownership and no selling pressure.

Positive

• Director acquisition: 375 deferred stock units added, indicating continued alignment with shareholder interests.
• No insider selling: The filing reports only acquisitions, suggesting confidence in the company’s prospects.

Negative

• Immaterial size: The 375-unit purchase is too small to affect overall insider ownership or market perception.
• Deferred nature: Units were credited through a compensation plan, reflecting limited direct cash commitment.

Insights

Financial Analyst

TL;DR: Modest insider acquisition; sentiment positive but market impact minimal.

Jeanne P. Jackson’s addition of 375 DSUs (≈ $23.1 k at $61.59) raises her total deferred stake to 34,275 units while leaving existing 2,748 RSUs untouched. Insider buys, even via deferred plans, generally signal confidence; however, the volume is immaterial versus Monster Beverage’s outstanding share base and unlikely to influence valuation or liquidity. The absence of any sales further supports a neutral-to-slightly-positive governance view, but investors should not expect meaningful price action from this filing alone.
