Beyond Meat’s Five-Year Losses and $1.2 Billion Debt Lead Analysts to Lower Ratings

- Beyond Meat's Q3 earnings miss and revenue drop led to an 8% stock decline, extending its 78.8% annual slump. - Analysts downgraded to "Underperform" as $1.2B debt and $77.4M impairment charges highlight ongoing financial strain. - International sales showed mixed results, with U.S. retail and foodservice revenue falling sharply by 18.4% and 27.3%. - Despite cost cuts and debt restructuring, the company remains unprofitable since its 2019 IPO, with Q4 guidance below expectations.

Shares of Beyond Meat (BYND) plunged after the company released a lackluster third-quarter earnings report, prompting Mizuho Securities to cut its price target to $1 as losses deepened and sales continued to slide. The alternative protein company posted a non-GAAP per-share loss of $0.47, coming in $0.04 below analyst expectations, while revenue dropped 13.3% year-over-year to $70.2 million,

slightly surpassing forecasts

. The stock tumbled 8% in after-hours trading,

adding to a year-long decline

that has resulted in a 78.8% decrease.

The company’s ongoing difficulties were highlighted by

a $77.4 million non-cash impairment related to long-term assets

and a $42 million cash outflow during the quarter.

Gross margin shrank to 10.3%

from 17.7% a year earlier, pressured by increased trade promotions, price reductions, and operational setbacks in China.

U.S. retail and foodservice revenues saw steep declines

, with retail sales down 18.4% to $28.5 million and foodservice revenue falling 27.3% to $10.5 million. Internationally, results were mixed: foodservice sales edged up 2.3%, but retail sales slipped 4.6%.

Market sentiment has turned negative,

as Mizuho reiterated its "Underperform" rating

and

TD Cowen lowered its price target

to $0.80. JPMorgan and Argus also expressed pessimism, with Argus downgrading the stock to "sell" in September. Beyond Meat’s fourth-quarter revenue outlook of $60–$65 million,

falling short of the $70.33 million consensus

, pointed to another significant drop. CEO Ethan Brown noted progress in reducing leverage through a debt swap and at-the-market offerings, but admitted that "category headwinds" remain.

The company’s financial position is still under pressure,

with $1.2 billion in debt outstanding

and $131.1 million in cash as of September 2025. Shareholders experienced further dilution after the company raised $148.7 million through its at-the-market program,

issuing more than 59 million new shares

. Despite efforts to cut costs and implement new strategies,

Beyond Meat has not yet achieved a profitable quarter

since its public debut in 2019.
