Are Protein Drinks the Turnaround Catalyst That Beyond Meat Stock Needs?
2026-05-19 13:35:00 ET
Beyond Meat (NASDAQ: BYND) is in a tough spot. In the first quarter, its sales fell roughly 15.3% year over year to land at $58.2 million. While rapidly declining sales are a big issue for the company, its margin picture is arguably even more concerning.
Beyond's gross margin came in at 3.4% in Q1, which was actually a substantial improvement over the negative 10.1% gross margin it recorded in the prior-year period. However, a margin on that level essentially leaves no way for the company to shift into delivering profitability.
Now it's looking toward clear protein drinks as a new product category that could help it reenergize sales and begin to change its margins. Could protein drinks supercharge a turnaround for Beyond Meat?
