I'm Sorry - Beyond Meat
In my last post I cautioned investors on the stock of Beyond Meat. While I was making a call about the tragedy lurking on October 29th when the restricted shares come off lock up; I didn't see the mess that management was going to present today on the earnings call. Namely, announcing a secondary stock offering after just going public in May, and while still in lock-up. With 49 million shares in lock up, management wants to add several million more shares to raise capital? If I was an employee with restricted shares I'd be having second thoughts about my future with the company. I'd bet a bunch of resumes are getting refreshed.
Mostly I'm mad at myself for not writing about this stock earlier, as investors saw their stock decline by over 18% today. Shares opened at $233.82 and closed at $209.36; but in after hours trading have continued to decline to $191. I haven't discussed Beyond Meat because its not in the portfolio, but I realized yesterday that it is front of brain for investors. There is more pain to come for shares of Beyond Meat, please take whatever action is appropriate for your personal situation.
