| 20:53 EDT |  | MNST | Monster Beverage's shares are down -- but not broken, Barron's says
Now that Monster Beverage's (MNST) once premium P/E ratio of 34 has fallen to a more reasonable level -- and is more consistent with its expected earnings growth rate -- the shares represent investor worries. Monster stock trades at 21.6x expected consensus EPS of $2.47 next year, up from a consensus projection of $2 this year, or 23% growth. By way of comparison, Monster's drop in P/E puts it much closer now to the 17 P/E of Coca-Cola (KO) and PepsiCo (PEP), for example. And while there are worries about slowing growth in the energy-drink category, its only a small part of the overall soft-drink business -- less than 5%, is growing at better than 15%.

| 16:13 EDT |  | MNST | AMA adopts policy supporting ban of marketing energy drinks to kids
The American Medical Association, or AMA, announced that it voted during its Annual Meeting to adopt several new policies on emerging issues in public health and science. Among the policies adopted was support for a ban of the marketing of high stimulant/caffeine drinks to adolescents under the age of 18. "Energy drinks contain massive and excessive amounts of caffeine that may lead to a host of health problems in young people, including heart problems, and banning companies from marketing these products to adolescents is a common sense action that we can take to protect the health of American kids," said AMA board member Alexander Ding, M.D. The Fly notes that Forbes reported earlier this week that the AMA might endorse such a ban. |

The American Medical Association may endorse sales and advertising bans of “high-energy/stimulant drinks” to consumers under 18 years old, due to an increase in emergency room visits "linked to the consumption of 'stimulant' drinks," which are made by companies including Monster Beverage (MNST) and PepsiCo (PEP), according to Forbes.
