Why Beyond Meat Stock Is 5% Higher Today
Shares of Beyond Meat (NASDAQ: BYND) were rising 5% in morning trading on Monday after reports surfaced that the plant-based meat alternative company was expanding its product selection in Australia.
What seems to have everyone excited is that Beyond Meat is introducing its plant-based meatballs in Coles, the second largest supermarket chain in Australia with over 2,500 stores.
In its first-quarter earnings conference call last month, CEO Ethan Brown said Australia was one of a number of countries in which it had secured distribution gains. Along with the U.K., Austria, Switzerland, and Germany, Beyond Meat is adding 2,400 new retail outlets for its products.
