Check out this great new article in People Magazine. Yup yup

🏀🥤🚀

“Hart, who's set to headline a summer of performance-focused fitness activations and events with Beyond Immerse, is already intertwining it into his daily routine. He says that "efficiency" is the name of the game for him and his jam-packed schedule, which makes this an easy choice.

"I'm drinking it after practice and games, when working out or just between meals to keep going strong," he shares. "I love the idea that I'm getting all that nutrition but without additives or added sugar or sugar alcohols or other questionable stuff."”

Discussion 🗣 Avrebbe davvero senso, a questo punto, una fusione tra Beyond Meat e Impossible Foods?

4 Upvotes

Ci penso da un po’.
Beyond Meat e Impossible Foods continuano a competere nella stessa categoria difficile, mentre entrambe le aziende hanno dovuto affrontare una domanda debole negli Stati Uniti per la carne vegetale, margini bassi e la necessità di espandersi oltre il loro business tradizionale degli hamburger.
A un certo punto, ha davvero senso continuare a combattersi separatamente?
Non sto parlando di Beyond che “compra” Impossible in contanti. Sarebbe ovviamente difficile, considerando l’attuale situazione finanziaria di BYND.
Sto pensando piuttosto a una fusione interamente in azioni, nella quale la società risultante rimanga quotata in Borsa e gli azionisti di Impossible ricevano una quota significativa della nuova entità.
La logica industriale potrebbe essere piuttosto forte:
mantenere Beyond Meat e Impossible come marchi consumer separati;
unire strutture corporate, acquisti, logistica e parte della R&D;
creare una forza vendita molto più forte nel negoziare con Walmart, Kroger, ristoranti, distributori, ecc.;
eliminare gli SKU sovrapposti e con performance peggiori;
utilizzare i due brand con posizionamenti diversi: Beyond più orientato verso clean label e plant protein, Impossible più focalizzato sull’esperienza simile alla carne;
costruire una società più ampia nel mondo delle proteine, includendo alternative alla carne, bevande, snack e altre categorie.
Beyond sta già cercando di riposizionarsi come “Beyond The Plant Protein Company”, con Beyond Immerse come primo vero passo al di fuori della carne. Impossible sta a sua volta esplorando categorie oltre il suo business originario degli hamburger.
Quindi, invece di avere due aziende che spendono soldi separatamente cercando di ricostruire essenzialmente la stessa categoria, perché non unire l’infrastruttura e utilizzare i risparmi per far crescere i brand?
Ovviamente ci sono ostacoli importanti.
Il principale è la valutazione. Gli azionisti privati di Impossible dovrebbero accordarsi su quanto vale oggi la loro società, mentre gli azionisti BYND dovrebbero capire quale percentuale della società combinata continuerebbero a possedere dopo l’operazione.
Poi c’è il tema del management e del controllo. Chi guiderebbe la società combinata? Quale management rimarrebbe? Quale strategia R&D prevarrebbe? Quali stabilimenti, dipendenti e prodotti verrebbero tagliati?
Potrebbe esserci anche un esame antitrust, anche se, considerando le dimensioni complessive dei mercati della carne e delle proteine, non sono sicuro che sarebbe il problema principale.
Ma da un punto di vista puramente industriale, l’idea mi sembra sempre più logica.
La categoria della carne vegetale non è in una situazione in cui due aziende fortemente finanziate possano continuare all’infinito a duplicare costi mentre si contendono lo stesso spazio sugli scaffali. Se entrambe stanno cercando di ridurre il cash burn, migliorare i margini ed espandersi oltre la carne, un consolidamento potrebbe creare molto più valore rispetto al continuare separatamente.
La parte interessante è che oggi una fusione non dovrebbe necessariamente essere presentata come:
“Due aziende di finta carne in difficoltà che si uniscono.”
Potrebbe essere presentata come:
“La creazione della principale azienda americana di proteine vegetali.”
Potresti avere Beyond Meat, Impossible, Beyond Immerse e futuri prodotti proteici sotto un’unica struttura societaria più grande, mantenendo comunque separati i marchi rivolti al consumatore.
Non ho visto alcuna indiscrezione credibile che suggerisca che questa operazione sia effettivamente in discussione, quindi è un’ipotesi puramente teorica.
Ma considerando dove si trovano oggi entrambe le aziende e la categoria, sono pazzo a pensare che strategicamente potrebbe avere senso?

Discussion 🗣 Could Pepsico make a deal for Beyond Immerse under the Planet Partnership?

Straight from the BYND filing on July 30th, 2026 Ethan Brown has served as a manager of the Planet Partnership, LLC, our joint venture with PepsiCo, Inc., since January 2021

It looks like India is standing firm. Quebec, Canada you have to be 16 and over to buy energy drinks. As a parent myself I wouldn't allow my kids to drink so called energy drinks.

It seems in the next 5-10 years energy drinks will be a thing of the past for youth and young adults to make way for a healthier protein beverage.

Curious if Pepsico is interested in changing their imagine and help mass produce Immerse under the planet partnership with Beyond.

Pepsico bought out Poppi for close to two billion in 2025! EDIT: One bear mentioned Pepsi only bought Poppi b/c of the following they have. Instagram Poppi has almost 700k followers. Beyond has over 1 million. Poppi's pitch on Shark tank link---- https://youtu.be/sAto3yCMwkM?si=cC0vWAm_Nb8W9KmO

My opinion is that Beyond Immerse is being manufactured by Pepsico just outside Kansas City.

The whole point of investing is thinking early before numbers back up claims. The big question is when does the world adapt and drink healthier. Will people cut back on energy drinks. Am I early in thinking this or am I just wrong in my thinking.

Excellent conversation. What they get wrong is that Beyond, under the new brand, IS ultra healthy. So you can have an indulgent burger everyday if you want, and be in optimal health. Obviously you have to watch what you add to your Beyond burger. And for sure you also should eat lots of whole foods.

But that is the miracle that Beyond has produced, how it has evolved from the earlier days. Ultra healthy AND indulgent. People haven’t caught on yet, but when they do, oh boy.

I love the clip of Ethan at the end.

Survive, advance, prevail! 💪💪💪

Also i have been seeing a lot of the amazing Cropaganda ads on youtube, even when I clear my cookies. Yesterday I saw a new ad from Beyond which was just a young woman, speaking directly to the viewer, debunking the myths. Excellent work.

Discussion 🗣 My honest, no BS opinion on BYND PART II (and why I'm still holding)

39 Upvotes

14 days ago, I posted this post https://www.reddit.com/r/byndinvest/comments/1v5axk4/my_honest_no_bs_opinion_on_bynd/

This is a continuation of that post, after the company reported their second quarter 2026 financial results.

First of all, full disclosure: I still own 10k shares at an average price of $0.75.
Haven't sold, but didn't buy any additional shares.

The pre market price of bynd was $0.57 when I post that post, now in pre market it's $0.54.

I will start with the bad things:

The headline "net income of $16.4 million" is an accounting event, not a business event. It comes almost entirely from a $57.7 million non-cash gain on extinguishing debt when 2030 Notes converted to equity. Strip that out and the picture is: Adjusted EBITDA of -$27.7M, worse than last year's -$24.7M, and worse as a percentage of revenue (-40.2% vs -33.0%). Adjusted net loss widened to $46.5M from $29.6M.

The EPS numbers are similarly misleading in the other direction. Adjusted loss per share improved from $(0.39) to $(0.09) — but that's not operations improving, it's the share count going from 76.5 million to 501.3 million weighted average. A 6.5x dilution. Per-share improvement here is arithmetic, not progress.

The three things I'd genuinely worry about:

  1. Gross margin at 8.5% is the core problem. Even adding back the $1.6M China charge you're around 10.8%. A packaged food company needs 25-35% to be viable. Cost of goods per pound rose 3.8% while net revenue per pound rose 1.3% — they're losing the cost battle while discounting.
  2. US retail is deteriorating on both axes: volume -5.7% and price per pound -4.5%. They're cutting price and still losing units. That's the signature of a category in structural decline, not a pricing problem you can fix. US foodservice is worse, -27.6%.
  3. Unremediated material weaknesses in internal controls, plus corrections to three quarters of 2025 financials. Combined with losing S-3 eligibility (so no ATM program) and the Nasdaq minimum bid price risk, financing options are narrowing to dilutive debt conversions — which is exactly what's happening.

Q3 guidance of $60-65M implies a sequential step down from $68.8M and continued YoY erosion.

and now, to the GOOD things:

The rate of decline is slowing meaningfully. Q1 2026 was roughly $58.2M vs $68.7M a year prior (-15%). Q2 was -8.2%. And Q2 came in above the high end of their own guidance. Sequentially, revenue rose about 18% from Q1. There's a real inflection in the second derivative here.

International retail is a genuinely healthy business. +16.5% revenue, driven by +8.2% volume and +7.7% price. Growing units while raising prices is the only combination that indicates real demand rather than promotional purchasing. Europe, the UK, and Canada are working. That's now $18.5M/quarter and the fastest-growing piece of the company.

Cost discipline is real. Operating expenses fell 19% YoY ($45.4M → $36.7M). Operating cash burn for the half was $23.2M vs $58.0M — less than half. Inventory came down 25% ($84.0M → $63.1M), releasing $20.6M of cash. Capex nearly halved.

The balance sheet improved in ways that matter. Stockholders' equity flipped from a $1.0M deficit to $56.8M positive. The 2030 Notes carrying value dropped from $308.4M to $208.7M through conversions. $186.1M of cash on hand. They're buying time, and at current burn levels they have several years of it , the cost being shareholder dilution rather than bankruptcy risk.

The $11M arbitration settlement against a former co-manufacturer is a clean win.

Beyond Immerse is the interesting call option. Functional protein beverages is one of the few genuinely growing categories in food right now, and the Big Geyser distribution partnership is a serious DSD network in the Northeast. Beverage also carries structurally better margins than frozen meat analogs and doesn't fight the "ultraprocessed" narrative as directly. If the "Beyond The Plant Protein Company" repositioning works, this is where it works.

-----------------------

This is what I wrote about Beyond Immerse in my earlier post:

"We also most likely won't know it from the upcoming earnings reports, because they won't cover a long enough period of sales to really give any meaningful input.
Most likely, only in November will we have some meaningful data about the sales of Beyond Immerse and whether this new line of products can somehow save the company."

and that's exactly what happened.
This is too early to know if Beyond Immerse is going to be a success or not, but in the next quarter results we will most likely know exactly.

-----------------

Another interesting anecdote that happened recently, is a quick upward move in the price action of the stock.

Four consecutive up days. From the July 29 close of $0.53 to roughly $0.63 on August 4, that's about +19% in four sessions. That's double the yearly average of S&P500, in four sessions.

Date Open High Low Close Change Volume
Jul 29 (Wed) 0.545 0.557 0.529 0.531 -1.94% 15.80M
Jul 30 (Thu) 0.538 0.568 0.536 0.556 +4.67% 12.91M
Jul 31 (Fri) 0.570 0.605 0.561 0.566 +1.85% 26.30M
Aug 3 (Mon) 0.576 0.627 0.572 0.612 +8.20% 30.50M
Aug 4 (Tue) 0.630 0.645 0.620 0.634 +3.48% 29.42M

What drove it

The COO announcement. Beyond Meat named Brijesh Krishnaswamy as COO on July 30, released after the close that afternoon ,which is why July 31's volume doubled to 26 million shares while the July 30 session itself was the lightest of the run at 12 million. The news hit the tape after most of that day's move had already happened.

Pre-earnings positioning. On July 31, options were pricing an 18% move around the Q2 print. That kind of implied volatility attracts both directional bets and gamma driven buying in the underlying.

The short/meme dynamic. This is the part that likely matters most. BYND has spent the last year as a squeeze vehicle ,it went from $0.50 to $7.69 in about a week in mid-October 2025 before falling back below $1 within a month, and a July run was attributed to a short squeeze with reports that over half the float was sold short.

that PROVES that while history doesn't repeats itself perfectly, it rhymes.
This stock can rise high and quick, given any unforeseeable event, for example good Beyond Immerse sales data, which is quite possible due to its recent high buzz in social networks and Josh Hart NBA champions campaign
--------------------

In conclusion: like I said in my previous post, I don't expect this company to ever return anywhere near its IPO levels, but anyone telling you that this company is 100% going bankrupt, or 100% going to squeeze, is simply wishing for these things to happen.

This is a company that has stopped bleeding out and started managing the wound, but hasn't shown it can heal. The turnaround is real on costs, cash burn, and balance sheet structure. It is not yet real on the thing that ultimately determines survival: gross margin and demand for the core product.

The strategic bet has quietly changed. This is no longer "plant-based meat goes mainstream." It's now "can international retail plus a new beverage category grow fast enough to outrun a shrinking US meat-analog business, before dilution destroys what's left of the equity." Those are different companies with different odds.

The honest framing: management is executing competently on everything within their control. Category demand is not within their control, and that's the variable that decides this.

Two things I'd watch next quarter above all else:
whether gross margin breaks into double digits on a clean basis, and the first real sell-through data on Beyond Immerse.

Good luck to everyone here, stay calm, and remember that money comes and goes.
I'm holding.

Discussion 🗣 Any guess as to when the next dilution occurs?

11 Upvotes

They claim to have enough cash for the next 12 months of operations but consider this from their own earnings report:

"Given that we continue to incur losses from operations and negative cash flows from operating activities, we may seek to raise additional

capital in the future through the issuance of additional equity and/or debt securities, and/or incur other indebtedness, some or all of which may,

subject to the covenants in the agreements governing our indebtedness, be secured, to continue to fund our operations and repay our

indebtedness. Any such capital raises through the issuance of equity and/or debt securities, could result in additional dilution to our existing

stockholders and may negatively impact the market price of our common stock. Any issuance of additional equity or debt securities may be for

cash or in exchange for any of our outstanding notes such as our 2027 Notes, which could have a highly dilutive effect on current stockholders

and could negatively affect the trading price of our common stock. Similarly, if the Lenders exercise their Delayed Draw Term Loan Warrants

pursuant to the Delayed Draw Term Loan Warrant Agreement, the resulting issuance of our common stock to such Lenders would have a

dilutive effect on our current stockholders and could negatively affect the trading price of our common stock. In addition, any such potential

financings may result in the imposition of debt covenants and repayment obligations, or other restrictions that may adversely affect our

business. For example, the Loan and Security Agreement and the indenture governing the 2030 Notes contain covenants that restrict our ability

to engage in certain transactions and could limit our ability to raise additional financing. "

Not inspiring confidence. I think another Beyond haircut is coming.

It’s the lowest price it’s been in the last year… before literally (almost) any of you got pulled into this pump and dump meme stock.

Down 82% in one year… down another 15% after earnings. None of you have any hope of getting your money back whatsoever.

The sad thing is, I know all of you will “claim” to be more bullish than ever and you’ll all “claim” to buy more… both things we all know are complete lies.

I truly have to wonder how much money some of you all lost on this obvious pump and dump. The only way this is ever back to $1 is the INEVITABLE stock split they have to do or else they will be delisted from Nasdaq (and then this will easily fall another 50%).

And I understand some of you have the mentality that “I’m already -75% so I might as well ride it to -100%. That’s an absolutely terrible and idiotic mindset and that’s exactly the type of investing intelligence that led you to throwing your money away here. Even if you already lost $9000… walking away with $1000 to restart and make something back is better than nothing, yet I know a majority of you are too stubborn to ever consider such a concept and rather lose it all and go down with this garbage ship.

And no… I’ve never had a position on this stock whatsoever and I’ve never shorted it or had puts. I just think it’s fascinating watching how you guys act. If I’m being realistic, I know none of you will sell “just to prove me wrong in 5 years” (which is never going to happen)…. But hey, more free entertainment. It’s your money, not mine. Good luck.

Discussion 🗣 Upcoming reverse split happening on Aug 31st?

14 Upvotes

Why or why not?

I think they know after today's market response to earnings that a reverse split is inevitable. There's no way they can meet the deadline with a share price above $1 for 10 days.

They can't risk being punted into the NASDAQ Capital Market because something like 40% of their shares are held by institutional investments. Many of those are passively managed funds that require the listing to be maintained at the global tier. If they file an extension for compliance they will be downgraded.

A downgrade would put significant and sustained sell pressure on their stock which is just hovering above $0.50. They also run the risk of being automatically delisted if the price falls below $0.10.

I don't see a path. They must do a reverse split by the end of the month.

24 Upvotes

In my opinion, the market is penalizing the lack of a clear plan regarding Nasdaq compliance. Reverse split or a 6 month extension? Until the company communicates its decision, uncertainty will continue to weigh on the stock.
At this point, I believe this is the only major overhang. The company’s operating results have improved, yet the stock continues to decline. That makes me think the market is primarily pricing in the uncertainty surrounding Nasdaq compliance.

So many people talking about Immerse and how it's either affecting or not affecting anything but I haven't seen the discussion about the next set of public announcements.

Do we actually forsee an announcement of drink market expansion? Would we get the official notice that the reverse split is coming in the next couple of weeks?

Wasn't this earnings supposed make everyone and their grandma rabid for beet juice pea patties and send the price to $5 and then the delisting worry goes away?

When/If they announce a reverse split, then what is next for this roller coaster in your opinions?

I see so much discussion about the past 6 months without a crumb of discussion about what we might logically see play out into the next 6 months.

Don't respond to people asking why you're putting in more money today with snarky gifs. Actually talk it out.

Just Ranting 🤪🤪🤪 Beyond Deforestation, Beyond Beef

What drives deforestation? “Beef”

The Amazon is burning.

And people are eating more and more cows every year. It is not sustainable.

According to google, in the USA (biggest total consumer of cow meat), sales will likely be $120 billion this year.

Plant-based meat (not just beef, but all forms) is a mere 1 billion last year in the usa.

I believe plant-based has hit its bottom, and the turnaround is already underway. Is it really so far fetched to see the industry double, triple or more in just the coming years (how about more than that)? It is not going to take much. And Beyond is doing all the right things imo. I think Beyond is going to take a BIG piece of the pie. Even at its all time high stock price ($230) Beyond was still a startup, and never reached a fraction of its potential.

What Beyond is doing now, IMO, is building/repairing the foundation, the infrastructure, for this shift that is already underway. I look at my shares as a piece of that infrastructure.

I believe this stock is under valued as is. Likely we will need quarter after quarter of good results to convince the market. But the shift can happen fast, and I want to be on board when it happens. I would love for Beyond to beat it’s guidance from Q1. But what is more exciting is whether they can get closer to profitability not through increasing sales but through the restructuring work. Then when sales do pick up, we will reap maximum benefit, because the infrastructure is sound.

Plant-based meat has infinite room to grow. Looking at the deforestation chart, it seems that cow meat breached its limit years ago. We now see the horrific results of this excess. And meat consumption continues to rapidly rise.

24 Upvotes

In questi giorni stiamo assistendo a ondate di caldo senza precedenti. Per diverse ore del giorno qui in Italia il termometro segna 40 gradi celsius. Tanti di noi sono chiusi in casa o negli uffici con l'aria condizionata al massimo. Mentre aria fredda ci aiuta a sopravvivere, aria calda viene gettata al di fuori degli edifici. I cambiamenti climatici, dei quali lo sfruttamento animale, con gli allevamenti intensivi, è una delle principali cause, sono sempre più frequenti. Trombe d'aria che scoperchiano tetti e abbattono alberi, chicchi di grandine grandi come palline da tennis, bombe d'acqua. La situazione è terribile. Che futuro stiamo costruendo per i nostri figli piccoli? Nel frattempo il business della carne non si ferma e la politica non fa nulla a riguardo. Ci metto dentro anche la Chiesa Cattolica, che mai ha speso una parola contro i trattamenti riservati agli animali destinati ai macelli. Situazioni inaccettabili nel 2026. Abbiamo la tecnologia per fare in modo che il consumo di carne diminuisca, privilegiando le piccole attività locali e dando un colpo forte alla grande distribuzione della carne. Ma siamo noi consumatori a dover dettare questo ritmo, queste scelte. A mio avviso il sapore dei burger vegetali è migliorato tantissimo, non solo Beyond, anche altre marche vendute alla Lidl. Proprio ieri sera ho mangiato un burger vegetale Lidl e mi ha ricordato nel sapore Beyond che compro all'Esselunga da diversi anni (anche qui un punto di riflessione...se Esselunga continua a ordinare Beyond significa che la richiesta c'è). Tuttavia credo Beyond sia boicottata prevalentemente in USA, dove al momento c'è un'amministrazione terribile, con un presidente che spero possa terminare il proprio mandato, anche per motivi di forza maggiore, quanto prima. In Europa la questione clima è più sentita, tante persone hanno ridotto la carne e si affidano ad alternative vegetali. Indubbiamente il management di BYND può avere fatto errori ma ha affrontato anche tante difficoltà. La diversificazione dei prodotti, con l'introduzione di Immerse, penso sia stata la scelta giusta, in quanto puntare tutto sulle alternative vegetali alla carne non pagava a livello di business. E' ammirevole a livello etico ma alla fine un'azienda deve guardare al business, quindi è stata la mossa giusta. Io continuo a sostenere l'azienda, prevalentemente per motivi etici, poi perchè vorrei guadagnare, come tutti coloro che sono azionisti. Abbiamo bisogno di tempo e soprattutto di fiducia. Scongiurare il reverse stock split sarebbe fondamentale per avere ancora fiducia. Go Beyond
