Shares of Beyond Meat soared by more than 90% in active trading on Tuesday following the company’s announcement of plans to expand distribution into Walmart stores. This move is expected to significantly boost the plant-based meat maker’s market presence.
Beyond Meat revealed that some of its popular products, including the “Beyond Burger 6-pack” and “Beyond Chicken Pieces,” will be available in 2,000 Walmart stores nationwide. The news sparked a sharp rise in the company’s stock price, with shares jumping as high as $2.98. This increase valued Beyond Meat at approximately $1.5 billion and set the stage for a potential fivefold surge from last Thursday’s closing price of 52 cents.
Trading volume surged dramatically as well, with more than 1.2 billion Beyond Meat shares changing hands on Tuesday. The stock has become one of the most closely watched on Stocktwits, a platform popular among amateur traders.
Despite the recent stock jump, analyst sentiment remains cautious. Out of eight analysts covering Beyond Meat, five rate the stock as a “sell” or “strong sell,” while three recommend holding it. According to LSEG data, the median price target stands at $2.42 per share.
As Beyond Meat continues to expand its retail footprint, investors will be closely monitoring how these developments translate into long-term growth and profitability.
