Beyond Meat’s stock tumbled nearly 16% on Monday after the company postponed its third-quarter earnings release. The plant-based meat maker—once a darling of the meme-stock crowd—said it needed extra time to finalize figures tied to a non-cash impairment charge. The announcement rattled investors, triggering an immediate selloff.
Beyond Meat’s Sudden Drop
This latest drop compounds an already painful year for Beyond Meat. Shares are down about 63% in 2025 and extended losses after a weeklong slump. It’s a far cry from the dizzying September rally—when the stock briefly soared more than 1,300% as retail traders piled in—only for that momentum to evaporate just as quickly.

In a statement, the company said:
“Although the Company expects this charge to be material, the Company is not yet able to reasonably quantify the amount, and requires additional time, resources, and effort to finalize its assessment.”
With the new date set for November 11, investors will have to wait a bit longer to see the full picture.
The Market’s Reaction
The delay set off heated discussions on the byndinvest subreddit. Some retail traders vented frustration over the uncertainty, while others remained defiant, arguing the delay could hint at larger restructuring efforts.
The recent market activity has also been linked to the bullish narrative shared by an online trader named Dimitri Semenikhin, whose optimistic projections initially fueled the surge in Beyond Meat’s stock price.
However, since the hype has cooled, the stock has struggled to maintain its momentum, falling significantly from its brief peak near $10 a share last month.
