Monster Beverage Tumbles to 483rd as High-Volume Strategy Surges 166.71%

Monster Beverage (MNST) closed on July 30, 2025, with a 0.57% decline, trading at $0.25 billion in volume, a 22.48% drop from the previous day. The stock ranked 483rd in trading activity, reflecting subdued investor engagement. Despite the near-term dip, historical performance metrics highlight a compelling strategy tied to high-volume stocks.

A backtested approach focused on purchasing the top 500 stocks by daily trading volume and holding for one day delivered a 166.71% total return from 2022 to the present. This outperformed the benchmark index by 137.53% in excess returns, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 31.89%. The strategy’s Sharpe ratio of 1.14 further underscores its ability to generate strong risk-adjusted returns, suggesting consistent capital appreciation over the period.

The data indicates that high-trading-volume strategies can effectively capture market momentum while managing risk. Investors may consider such approaches to align with short-term liquidity trends, though Monster’s recent volume contraction signals caution in interpreting immediate price movements.
