Beyond Meat Under Legal Spotlight as Class-Action Push Gains Momentum
13.02.2026 - 12:52:04
Once a standout in the plant-based meat arena, Beyond Meat is facing renewed headwinds on both accounting scrutiny and market performance. The stock has yet to regain its earlier glow, and a legal challenge is taking shape as several law firms rally investors toward a securities class action. The gravity of the allegations could further undermine confidence in the company’s financial reporting.
In recent days, specifically February 11 and 12, 2026, law firms The Gross Law Firm and Levi & Korsinsky notified shareholders about an impending securities class action. The suit targets investors who purchased Beyond Meat shares between February 27, 2025 and November 11, 2025. The window to file as Lead Plaintiff closes on March 24, 2026.
At the center of the complaint are claims of misleading disclosures. The plaintiffs contend that management failed to reveal that the book value of certain long-term assets exceeded their fair value. They allege a substantial impairment charge—non-cash in nature—that was foreseeable but not communicated properly. If proven, these statements could have presented the financials in a misleading light and potentially hindered timely filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
Slippage to Penny-Stock Territory
The legal concerns accentuate a fragile price trajectory. The shares are trading around $0.73, leaving Beyond Meat with a market capitalization of roughly $332 million. This marks a sharp contrast to a 52-week high of $7.69, underscoring a steep erosion in value over the past year.
Should investors sell immediately? Or is it worth buying Beyond Meat?
The stock did experience a brief resurgence late in 2025, driven by aggressive short-covering activity (a short squeeze) that briefly propelled the price higher. That effect, however, has since faded. On an operational front, performance remained under pressure: in the third quarter of 2025, revenue reached $70.2 million, and the company continued to post losses.
Key March Milestones
Looking ahead, March will be pivotal for Beyond Meat. In the early part of the month, the company is expected to release its fourth-quarter 2025 results. Shortly thereafter, on March 24, 2026, the window closes for investors to participate in the proposed class action.
The combination of ongoing quarterly results and the judicial proceedings is likely to sustain elevated volatility for Beyond Meat in the weeks ahead.
