What to expect from Beyond Meat’s earnings

There’s good and bad news for Beyond Meat going into Thursday’s earnings call:

• The good news is that it should easily beat its own expectations. 
• The bad news is that it doesn’t have any expectations, providing no guidance following Q3’s earnings miss. 

Luckily, there are plenty of analysts on Wall Street who were happy to give their two cents, with the consensus revenue estimate coming in at $123.3 million (up 27% YoY) and the company expected to breakeven on the bottom line. This compares to results in the same period of 2019 where revenue came in at $98.5 million while EPS was -$0.01.

Investors will hope to see the company handily surpass that figure, given the disappointment of Q3, where revenue only rose 3% YoY. Expansion into more than 10 countries in the past year, including China, as well as partnerships with PepsiCo, McDonald’s, Starbucks, Yum Brands, and much more, will hopefully begin to pay dividends for the company. 

While Beyond Meat remains a risky play for investors, the increased popularity of meat-alternatives has seen its total addressable market (TAM) soar to an estimated $1.4 trillion across the globe. How Beyond Meat positions itself against its numerous competitors in the coming years will be critical to the company’s success.
