Beyond Meat said revenue was hurt by the loss of a customer, though the company didn&#39;t specify which customer. CEO Brown said that March was &#34;among the largest revenue months in our company&#39;s history,&#34; but the beginning of the quarter wasn&#39;t as robust.&#34;We believe that the slow start to the quarter was likely related to omicron, labor shortages and a late return to school, among other factors,&#34; he said on the earnings call according to FactSet.BMO Capital Markets maintained its market perform stock rating for Beyond Meat, noting all of the headwinds that the company faces, including pricing, a &#34;profit-dilutive growth strategy&#34; and a challenging retail environment. But analysts were more positive about the company&#39;s restaurant partnerships.&#34;We would not be surprised if Beyond Meat generated at least $100 million annually from its five main foodservice launches (e.g., McDonald&#39;s US, McDonald&#39;sUK and Ireland, KFC, Panda Express, and Pizza Hut Canada) in 2022 with the ability to accelerate significantly if it can expand into more McDonald&#39;s US locations before the end of the year,&#34; BMO&#39;s note said.BMO halved its price target to $30 from $60.See: U.S. plant-based food market value reaches a high of $7.4 billion, but industry faces rough path to further growthBeyond Meat also noted a change in placement of its products in grocery stores that may have had an impact.&#34;[W]e saw a shift in consumer purchase from refrigerated to frozen,&#34; Brown said on the call.&#34;Refrigerated plant-based meats, where we are heavily represented, were down 3.6%, but frozen plant-based meats were up 7.2%. This change from refrigerated to frozen, in part, reflects increased consumption of plant-based chicken in the frozen section versus plant-based beef in the refrigerated section.&#34;Mizuho says it might be time to rethink the growth possibilities in the plant-based meat category.&#34;We don&#39;t want to get too caught up in short-term weakness, but also believe it is far too early in the life cycle to lean on easy comps for growth. COVID&#39;s 2020 retail sales spike pulled forward demand and with early adopters likely satiated, new consumers are proving lighter,&#34; Mizuho&#39;s John Baumgartner wrote.And while CEO Brown says Beyond Meat is making good progress toward its &#34;goal of building tomorrow&#39;s global protein company,&#34; BTIG analysts say investors are concerned about how much the company is spending to get there.&#34;We believe the level of cash burn for the past several quarters is making investorsincreasingly nervous that a capital raise is on the horizon,&#34; analysts led by Peter Saleh wrote.&#34;The company&#39;s cash balance declined $185 million this quarter, leaving them with about half of the $1.15 billion in capital raised just a year ago. Our conversations suggest that many investors believe Beyond Meat will need to raise additional capital later in 2022 to sustain operations, unless there is a meaningful inflection in sales and gross margins.&#34;</body></html>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Beyond Meat's Jerky Collaboration With PepsiCo Helped Sales but Hurt Margins</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nBeyond Meat's Jerky Collaboration With PepsiCo Helped Sales but Hurt Margins\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n<div class=\"head\" \">\n\n\n<div class=\"h-thumb\" style=\"background-image:url(https://static.tigerbbs.com/150f88aa4d182df19190059f4a365e99);background-size:cover;\"></div>\n\n<div class=\"h-content\">\nDow Jones \n2022-05-13 19:33\n</div>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<html><head></head><body><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/BYND\">Beyond Meat Inc.</a> said revenue got a boost from the launch of Beyond Meat Jerky through a collaboration with <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/PEP\">PepsiCo Inc.</a>, but making the product hurt margins for the quarter.&#34;The company&#39;s first-quarter results included the launch of Beyond Meat Jerky, which it estimates reduced gross margin by approximately 940 basis points compared to the year-ago period,&#34; the earnings release said.The company said, however, that margins should improve going forward.&#34;Initially, Beyond Meat Jerky utilizes a complex and high-cost manufacturing process.
