Beyond Meat (BYND) is executing a 1-for-30 reverse stock split, set to take effect at 11:59 p.m. ET on August 13, 2026. BYND was trading down 3.35% on the news.
The company’s board selected the 1-for-30 ratio after stockholders approved a range of thirty possible ratios at a special meeting held on November 19, 2025.
The primary goal is straightforward: lift the per-stock price to meet Nasdaq’s minimum bid price requirement and keep the stock listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market.
Split-adjusted trading will begin on August 14 under the same BYND ticker, with a new CUSIP number of 08862E307.
For every 30 stocks held before the effective time, investors will receive one stock. No fractional stocks will be issued. Anyone entitled to a fraction will be rounded up to the nearest whole stock.
The authorized common stock count drops from 3 billion to 100 million. Total authorized capital stock falls from 3,000,500,000 to 100,500,000.
The company will also adjust the conversion rates on its outstanding convertible notes, the exercise prices and stock counts on warrants, and all outstanding equity awards under its incentive plans to reflect the new 1-for-30 ratio.
Proportional ownership for existing stockholders remains broadly intact. The reverse split does not dilute investors on a percentage basis, though the absolute number of stocks held will drop by a factor of 30.
This restructuring is a compliance-driven move rather than a sign of business improvement. Beyond Meat has faced persistent headwinds including declining revenue, low gross profitability, and ongoing cash burn.
The most recent analyst rating on BYND is a Sell, with a price target of just $0.50.
The stock currently carries a market cap of $277.4 million. Average daily trading volume sits at approximately 32.7 million stocks.
Technical sentiment on BYND is rated Sell, with the stock trading below key moving averages and a negative MACD signal.
The company has made some operational improvements and reduced cash consumption, but analysts say these have not been enough to offset ongoing demand and profitability challenges.
A negative P/E ratio makes traditional valuation difficult, and BYND pays no dividend.
The reverse split will not change the underlying business fundamentals. What it does is reset the stock price to a level that keeps Beyond Meat on the exchange and trading
