Beyond Meat Faces Investor Lawsuit Amid Stock Plunge and Accounting Woes

Beyond Meat US08862E1091

The plant-based protein company Beyond Meat finds itself navigating a perfect storm of legal and financial challenges. Its share price, currently languishing near $0.75, coincides with a mounting class-action lawsuit alleging the company misled its investors. Multiple law firms are now alerting affected shareholders to an upcoming deadline for joining the litigation.

Central to the legal action are accusations that Beyond Meat failed to disclose in a timely manner that the carrying value of certain long-term assets exceeded their actual worth. This omission, purportedly occurring in 2025, necessitated substantial impairment charges—information the company is accused of communicating too late to the market.
