“The outlook for 2023 calls for sales to contract between 1% and 10%, but management thinks operating cash flows will be positive in the second half of the year.”

Anyone believing a single word?

Not a good student of history!

Time to move to the great Beyond…

I would not waste your money on this company. They are in bad termoral inside the company and falling apart. Bad people running the company now.

Thought to buy the burger but it is expensive.

Good commentary.

Price is low enough the stock could move either direction in the short term, but without a material change in business operations or a white knight, the trend is your friend and the trend is down long term. Declining revenues is not a good sign for a company that needs to grow to profitability.

Company is bleeding cash all over the place and had to do the ATM to avoid going bankrupt by the end of 23/start of 24. I fail to see how that improves but somehow this company continues to be valued at over $700 million. At best it should be 1x P/S which would get the market cap to ~$400 million. At $5-6 maybe this is ok if they do turn things around. I think this is one of the worst companies on the market right now and will likely continue to bleed out huge sums of cash. Avoid at all costs.

@doctorslernon And it's a terrible product that few want, loaded with carbs. Beef....it's what's for dinner.

@prunehead Beyond offers several GREAT vegan products....steak tips, vegan burger, sausage patties, crumbles. As with all food companies, some products you like/love and some you don't (its sausage links come to mind). No different with Beyond.

@prunehead It's not food! A cauldron of synthetic toxic unhealthy chemicals, and soy GMO, wonder how much "roundup" pesticides are in this. Consumers are rejecting Fake foods and will continue to do so.plus the tumor cell grown fake meat. Folks won't be swindled by the push for Great Reset fake foods the elites wont eat.
