Beyond Meat sees incredible volatility after yesterday's surge
Beyond Meat stock managed to post massive gains in Monday's trading despite the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite ending the day solidly in the red. The company's share price rocketed roughly 36% higher yesterday, but there wasn't any business-specific news behind the rally.
Beyond Meat has emerged as a popular meme-stock trade over the last few months, and it saw big gains yesterday as investors poured back into the stock. The valuation trend is reversing somewhat today as investors move to take profits, but shares have bounced back from huge sell-offs earlier in the session.
What's next for Beyond Meat?
Beyond Meat stock will likely continue to be highly volatile in the near term, and its share price will likely continue making big moves even in the absence of major company-related news. With the stock still down roughly 73% over the last year and retaining support from meme-stock traders, it's possible that shares could see more instances of explosive near-term rallies. On the other hand, the business is still facing some big fundamental challenges -- and the company faces significant bankruptcy risks unless its performance and financial footing improve.
