CASE ALLEGATIONS: Beyond Meat is a producer of plant-based meat substitutes.
The Beyond Meat class action lawsuit alleges that defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) Beyond Meat was unable to manufacture its meat substitutes at scale to the specifications of its key customers, which it calls “partners”; (ii) Beyond Meat suffered from widespread scaling issues, particularly misalignment and delayed decision-making, which led to corresponding production delays; (iii) such issues were exacerbated by Beyond Meat’s disjointed production lines; and (iv) these problems led some partners to balk at the high price of Beyond Meat’s products and express doubts about Beyond Meat’s ability to produce them at commercial scale.
On October 22, 2021, Beyond Meat announced that it was reducing its third quarter net revenues outlook by up to $34 million, or 25%. As part of the announcement, Beyond Meat also revealed that its expenses and inventories were continuing to rise. On this news, the price of Beyond Meat stock declined by nearly 12%.
Then, on November 10, 2021, Beyond Meat announced a $1.9 million write-off of unsold inventory. On this news, the price of Beyond Meat stock declined by nearly 13%.
Next, on November 17, 2021, an article was published in Bloomberg highlighting the delays in production and execution challenges Beyond Meat was facing. Former employees reported that there were “significant internal problems” stemming from “confusion and misalignment . . . [and] belated decision-making” that corresponded with exacerbated production delays. On this news, the price of Beyond Meat stock declined by approximately 3.5%.
Thereafter, on December 9, 2021, multiple media sources reported that Taco Bell, one of Beyond Meat’s partners, had cancelled a planned product test due to ongoing quality concerns. On this news, the price of Beyond Meat stock declined by nearly 8%.
Finally, on October 14, 2022, Beyond Meat announced the departure of several top executives, including Beyond Meat’s Chief Operating Officer, Chief Growth Officer, and Chief Financial Officer. On this news, the price of Beyond Meat stock declined by an additional 9.6%, further damaging investors.
