Beyond Meat (NASDAQ: BYND) Announces 1-for-30 Reverse Stock Split Amid Nasdaq Delisting Risk

• Beyond Meat is restructuring its business, focusing on core markets and completing the wind-down of its operations in China as it seeks to improve profitability.
• The company received a Nasdaq deficiency notice after its stock traded below the exchange’s $1 minimum bid-price requirement for 30 consecutive business days.
• To help regain compliance, Beyond Meat will implement a 1-for-30 reverse stock split, with split-adjusted trading expected to begin on August 14, 2026.

Beyond Meat (NASDAQ: BYND) is a producer of plant-based protein products currently undergoing a significant business transformation. The company has been reducing costs, rationalizing products and concentrating its resources on core markets as it seeks to stabilize revenue and improve profitability.

As part of its restructuring, Beyond Meat approved the suspension of its operational activities in China in February 2025. Those operations ceased by the end of 2025, although the company continued winding down certain facilities and contractual obligations during 2026. 

Beyond Meat’s stock fell 19.69% on August 11, 2026, to close at approximately $0.42, after trading near an all-time low.  The company received a Nasdaq deficiency notice on March 4, 2026, after its closing bid price remained below $1 for 30 consecutive business days. Beyond Meat was given until August 31, 2026, to regain compliance by maintaining a closing bid price of at least $1 for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days.

To address this issue, Beyond Meat’s board selected a 1-for-30 reverse stock split. The split is expected to become effective at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on August 13, 2026. Shares are expected to begin trading on a split-adjusted basis when the Nasdaq Global Select Market opens on August 14, 2026.

Under the split, every 30 outstanding shares will automatically be combined into one share. Beyond Meat will also proportionately reduce its authorized common shares from 3 billion to 100 million. The stock will continue trading under the BYND ticker but will receive a new CUSIP number, 08862E307.

No fractional shares will be issued. Instead, shareholders entitled to a fractional share will generally have their holdings rounded up to the nearest whole share, subject to the procedures used by brokers and other nominees.

The reverse split will increase Beyond Meat’s share price mechanically but will not directly increase the company’s market capitalization or improve its underlying financial performance. It is intended to help the company regain compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum bid-price requirement, but there is no guarantee that the stock will maintain the required price or that Beyond Meat will satisfy all other continued-listing standards.
