We note that the kinds of chain locations that Beyond Meat is typically sold at, from Carls' Jr. to Dunkin' Donuts (DNKN), largely remained open during the pandemic anyway.

The company noted that on a year over year basis, velocity is down -18% y/y in Q1.</p>\n<p>Figure 2.

The past four weeks only saw Beyond Meat expanding its market share by 127bps, versus 319bps over the past year.</p>\n<p><b>Margin decay</b></p>\n<p>Slowing growth isn't the only troubling indicator for Beyond Meat. The company's gross margin profile, already thin to begin with, is at risk as well. We note that in Beyond Meat's most recent quarter, gross margin slipped to 30.2%, a huge 860bps reduction from 38.8% in the year-ago quarter.</p>\n<p>Figure 3. Beyond Meat margin trends</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/60a3d0d52497e6120e460f59dc453255\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"403\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Source: Beyond Meat Q1 investor presentation</span></p>\n<p>The company cited a myriad of reasons behind the decay. The company blamed the decay on rising storage/warehousing and transportation costs, which is similar to what many other consumer products companies are citing. Even more concerning, however, the company has cited rising fixed overhead costs at its production facilities. And perhaps riskiest of all is the fact that Beyond Meat notes that unfavorable product mix and higher trade discounts have also worked to push margins down.<b>In spite of the fact that Beyond Meat leaned in more heavily on trade discounts to grow sales, the company still saw tepid revenue growth and thinning market share gains.</b></p>\n<p>We note as well that Beyond Meat's adjusted EBITDA gains of $13.9 million from last Q1 turned into a -$10.8 million loss in the most recent Q1, indicating a 24-point decay in adjusted EBITDA margins. We have to wonder: is Beyond Meat structurally set up to be a profitable business?</p>\n<p>The company likes to tout the fact that it spends ~8% of its revenue on R&D as a positive signal of the brand's innovation. But the other brands shown on the company's below slide are also innovators. Food brands like Kellogg and Kraft Heinz are constantly coming up with new cereal types and new flavors of their existing foods. Beyond Meat doesn't have a sole claim to innovation in the food space - yet it's spending considerably more than its peers on R&D. When we note the fact that Beyond Meat's gross margin is only ~30% to begin with, spending a further 8% of revenue on R&D is a steep ask.</p>\n<p>Figure 4. Beyond Meat R&D spend</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/be6034dec9a6fb17f07f983fc301eb96\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"437\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Source: Beyond Meat Q1 investor presentation</span></p>\n<p><b>Valuation and key takeaways</b></p>\n<p>Analysts aren't really expecting Beyond Meat to generate significant profits until years down the road. As shown in the chart below, the company is only expected to pass breakeven in 2023.</p>\n<p>Figure 5.

The company blamed the decay on rising storage/warehousing and transportation costs, which is similar to what many other consumer products companies are citing. Even more concerning, however, the company has cited rising fixed overhead costs at its production facilities. And perhaps riskiest of all is the fact that Beyond Meat notes that unfavorable product mix and higher trade discounts have also worked to push margins down.In spite of the fact that Beyond Meat leaned in more heavily on trade discounts to grow sales, the company still saw tepid revenue growth and thinning market share gains.\nWe note as well that Beyond Meat's adjusted EBITDA gains of $13.9 million from last Q1 turned into a -$10.8 million loss in the most recent Q1, indicating a 24-point decay in adjusted EBITDA margins. We have to wonder: is Beyond Meat structurally set up to be a profitable business?\nThe company likes to tout the fact that it spends ~8% of its revenue on R&D as a positive signal of the brand's innovation. But the other brands shown on the company's below slide are also innovators. Food brands like Kellogg and Kraft Heinz are constantly coming up with new cereal types and new flavors of their existing foods. Beyond Meat doesn't have a sole claim to innovation in the food space - yet it's spending considerably more than its peers on R&D. When we note the fact that Beyond Meat's gross margin is only ~30% to begin with, spending a further 8% of revenue on R&D is a steep ask.\nFigure 4. Beyond Meat R&D spend\nSource: Beyond Meat Q1 investor presentation\nValuation and key takeaways\nAnalysts aren't really expecting Beyond Meat to generate significant profits until years down the road. As shown in the chart below, the company is only expected to pass breakeven in 2023.\nFigure 5. Beyond Meat earnings estimates\nSource: Seeking Alpha\nAnd even against 2026 earnings expectations of $5.30 per share, and even after Beyond Meat's correction from all-time highs above $200, the stock's current price at ~$125 sits at a steep 23.6x P/E ratio against earnings five years down the line.\nWith the risks of Beyond Meat's slowing growth and unsteady gross margins, I think the chances of Beyond Meat justifying its current share price (let alone rallying substantially from current levels) are slim.\nContinue to avoid this stock.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"BYND":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1874,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":809090308,"gmtCreate":1627337686604,"gmtModify":1703487704300,"author":{"id":"3576842078931205","authorId":"3576842078931205","name":"MaG3","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f89df01fa3ee1c46f288c2b6a12799c9","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3576842078931205","idStr":"3576842078931205"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"wow. amc stock","listText":"wow. amc stock","text":"wow. amc stock","images":[{"img":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/83659d6019e9756ec6b15c042b432d47","width":"828","height":"1472"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/809090308","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1836,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":2,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":809004612,"gmtCreate":1627337565936,"gmtModify":1703487704467,"author":{"id":"3576842078931205","authorId":"3576842078931205","name":"MaG3","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f89df01fa3ee1c46f288c2b6a12799c9","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3576842078931205","idStr":"3576842078931205"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"not bad","listText":"not bad","text":"not bad","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/809004612","repostId":"1151724613","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1151724613","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1627292512,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1151724613?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-07-26 17:41","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Tesla Reports Earnings Today.
