The following video is part of our "Motley Fool Conversations" series, in which consumer goods editor and analyst Austin Smith discusses topics across the investing world.
In today's edition, Austin talks about one of the biggest winners on the market today, Monster Beverage. Shares are surging the most since -- well, not that long ago, when they leaped higher on buyout rumors from Coca-Cola. The good thing about today's gains, though, is that they're here to stay. The energy drink company posted yet another monster growth quarter. The company continues to impress with its industry-topping margins and growth rate. Its balance sheet is the envy of many larger corporations as well, as it sits on a pile of cash and doesn't have a ball-and-chain debt burden like many growing companies.
Perhaps the only thing that Monster leaves investors wanting for is a big dividend like its larger beverage cohorts have. If you like the beverage space but prefer that steady stream of income to hopes and dreams of growth, you can read about nine rock-solid dividends that our analysts swoon over. Surprise, surprise: One of them is a big beverage titan. Uncover them today by clicking here.
