The shares of Celsius Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:CELH) are soaring after the beverage name's better-than-expected first-quarter results. In turn, BofA Global Research upgraded the stock to "buy" from "neutral," with a price-target hike to $125 from $98, while no fewer than six other analysts lifted their price targets as well. At last glance, CELH was up 20.1% to trade at $128.60. 

Today's bull gap is the biggest since November 2020, and helped Celsius stock mark a record high of $132.29. Year-over-year, the equity is up 219.4%, while sporting a 26.8% year-to-date gain. 

CELH's typically quiet options pits are bursting with activity. So far, 8,643 calls and 5,731 puts have been exchanged, which is 11 times the average intraday volume. The weekly 5/12 140-strike call is the most active contract, with new positions being opened there. 

It's also worth noting that short interest represents 21.5% of the stock's available float. It would take more than two weeks days for shorts to cover their bets, at CELH's average pace of trading.
