Monster Beverage (MNST) has an aluminum problem. Monster dropped 3% following an earnings miss. Sales did rise 17% to $1.24 billion however Monster said that it would face an aluminum shortage in North America and Europe. The shortage should not last long, but it's just another case of supply chain issues for corporate America.
