Underperform
Reason
Mizuho lowered the firm's price target on Beyond Meat to $1 from $1.50 and keeps an Underperform rating on the shares post the Q3 report. The firm says that with U.S. demand for animal meat at multi-decade highs, and pricing from plant-based meat peers becomes more competitive, Beyond Meat's risks to growth remain skewed to the downside.

Mizuho analyst John Baumgartner lowered the firm's price target on Beyond Meat to $1.50 from $2 and keeps an Underperform rating on the shares. The company has improved its balance sheet following last week's convertible notes exchange, but at the expense of significant equity dilution, the analyst tells investors in a research note. Mizuho says "weak" category and company fundamentals warrant an Underperform rating on Beyond Meat.

Reason
TD Cowen analyst Robert Moskow lowered the firm's price target on Beyond Meat to 80c from $2 and keeps a Sell rating on the shares. The firm updated its model to reflect significant shareholder dilution resulting from the exchange offer of its convertible notes. The transaction reduces Beyond's debt principal by 83% and increases share count by 413%. The company remains financially and operationally challenged.
