Hansen Natural transformed itself by launching Monster Energy in 2002 and eventually renamed the company after the brand. A distribution agreement with Coca-Cola signed in 2014 gave the product access to a delivery network it could never have built, in exchange for an equity stake. Energy drinks carry high margins and strong brand loyalty in a category with few large competitors. Aluminum and sweetener costs are the main input exposures. Headquarters are in Corona, California.

A protective put caps your downside on the MNST position at a chosen floor; a zero-cost collar pays for that floor by capping the upside. This calculator prices both structures off the current MNST option chain, with annual cost, max loss, and tax-treatment notes.
Example: a 5,000-share MNST position at $47.38 is worth $236,900. A 1-year 30%-OTM put on that position typically runs 2-4% of position value per year (about $4,738 to $9,476) before any premium offset from a short call. The calculator prices both structures off MNST's current option chain so you see the actual cost for your chosen floor, tenor, and cap.
