Beyond Meat, Inc. (BYND) witnessed a 5.90% pre-market plunge on Thursday, February 27, 2025, following the release of its fourth-quarter 2024 earnings results and disappointing 2025 guidance.
The plant-based meat alternative company reported a wider-than-expected loss for Q4, missing analysts' estimates, while its 2025 revenue outlook fell short of consensus projections. The disappointing performance and outlook raised concerns among investors about Beyond Meat's ability to navigate persistent demand challenges, inflationary pressures, and achieve profitability.
In an effort to improve its financial position, the company announced plans to reduce its workforce by approximately 17% across North America and the European Union, impacting its non-production employees. Additionally, Beyond Meat plans to suspend its operations in China by mid-2025, further streamlining its operations.
Analysts have reacted to the weak results and outlook by lowering their price targets on the stock, reflecting concerns over the company's growth prospects and path to profitability. The plant-based meat category continues to face headwinds and consumer uncertainty, contributing to the stock's recent price decline.
