EVR vs CELH Comparison

Evercore is a leading independent investment banking advisory firm that generates most of its revenue through merger and acquisition and restructuring advisory services, with much smaller capital raising, equities trading, and investment management businesses. Founded in 1995, it has built a reputation for advising on some of the world's largest and most complex transactions. The firm operates globally with a strong presence in the US and Europe, serving corporations, financial sponsors, and government clients. Its business model emphasizes high-touch, conflict-free advice rather than balance sheet lending, allowing it to compete with larger bulge-bracket banks.

Celsius Holdings plays in the energy drink subsegment of the global nonalcoholic beverage market, with 95% of revenue concentrated in North America. The firm now owns three energy drink brands: Celsius, Alani Nu, and Rockstar Energy. It dedicates its efforts to product innovation and marketing while outsourcing manufacturing and packaging to third-party co-packers and distribution to PepsiCo. The firm issued convertible preferred shares following PepsiCo's investments in 2022 and 2025, giving the latter an 11% stake in Celsius.
