On August 15, 2025, the 15-minute chart of Vita Coco triggered a KDJ Death Cross and Bearish Marubozu at 12:30, signaling a significant shift in the stock's momentum. The KDJ Death Cross, a technical indicator, occurs when the KDJ line crosses below the signal line, indicating a potential reversal in the stock's price trend. The Bearish Marubozu, a candlestick pattern, is characterized by a long red body with no wicks, indicating strong selling pressure.

Vita Coco reported strong second-quarter (Q2) 2025 results, with revenue up 17.1% year-on-year to $168.8 million [2]. However, the stock has faced a negative market reaction due to concerns over tariffs and inflation. The company's full-year revenue guidance of $572.5 million at the midpoint came in 0.6% below analysts’ estimates [2]. Gross margins declined due to higher ocean freight rates and inflationary cost factors, further impacting profitability [2].
The company's management has acknowledged the challenges posed by tariffs and ocean freight rates, which are expected to continue impacting margins in the near term. To mitigate these pressures, Vita Coco plans to leverage its diversified supply chain and adjust pricing as needed. However, the stock price has fallen, trading at $32.31 as of the latest update, down from $36.77 just before the earnings announcement [2].
The recent market rally, fueled by a subdued inflation report, has seen Vita Coco's stock price rebound slightly, jumping 3.1% in the afternoon session [2]. However, investors should remain cautious, as the stock's technical indicators continue to signal a bearish trend.
Investors should monitor the rollout and performance of Vita Coco Treats, management's ability to offset cost inflation and tariff-related margin pressures, and progress in expanding distribution with large partners like Walmart and private label wins for 2026 [2]. The pace of international category development and normalization of freight rates will also be important markers to watch.
