Potential

Good long term growth

But Hansen (HANS) shares look topped out once again. At the very least, they're well above the average 12-month target of 37.25 held by analysts. "There's not a lot of margin for error in this market environment with that valuation," Van Winkle says. He adds that a takeout premium has likely been embedded into Hansen shares, with many anticipating that Coca-Cola (KO) could make a bid for the entire company.

gave good returns

It's the little stock that could.

Beverages

Adami said Hansen Natural (HANS) could be a takeover target.

Hansen Natural (HANS) was downgraded by Canaccord Adams from buy to hold.

Goldman Sachs said it is downgrading Hansen (HANS) to Neutral from Buy following disappointing Q1 earnings. Believe business investment was primary driver of the earnings miss, and see potential to pressure margins going forward. Sales of Monster were up 36%, also disappointing compared to expectations in the 45%-50% range. Price target at $37.

Lost me money

Still don't understand the stagnation.

FAD

kept it .. kept it... for a YEAR@!! then after I sold it .. it went up.

Too Volitile

Highlights the continuing crooked relationship between banks and the stocks they supposedly cover with objectivity. All the analysts see unlimited potential (and I-banking business), while ignoring any margin pressure or competition.

estimates too high, stock too hot

bought it on a dip

I just don't get it. They don't make anything like a Coke or a Pepsi. Nothing that people are going to drink for the rest of their lives.
