Why Beyond Meat Stock Dropped Monday

Shares of planted-based "meat" purveyor Beyond Meat (NASDAQ: BYND) got chopped up on Monday after analysts at Piper Sandler downgraded the stock from neutral to underweight -- and cut their price target on the stock by more than 40%, to just $29 a share. In a report out last week, investment bank BTIG described the sales performance of McDonald's McPlant burger (made by Beyond Meat) as "underwhelming" and lacking "evidence to support a national rollout in the near future." Today, Piper Sandler is echoing those worries, and adding some more of its own, in a report covered by StreetInsider.com.

  • Why Biden’s 4% buyback tax could boost stock prices and dividends

    The Biden administration’s new stock buyback tax will have little impact on the overall stock market. This tax has set off alarm bells in some corners of Wall Street, on the theory that buybacks were one of the biggest props supporting the past decade’s bull market — and anything weakening that prop could lead to much lower prices. One reason is that the new excise tax — whether 1% or 4% — is applied to net buybacks — repurchases in excess of how many shares the corporation may have issued.

  • Why Lithium Americas Stock Jumped 8% Today

    Shares of start-up lithium miner -- and General Motors partner -- Lithium Americas (NYSE: LAC) soared 8.1% through 11:50 a.m. ET on Tuesday, after a federal district court in Nevada issued what the company called a "favorable ruling" in an appeal against a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) ruling. As Reuters relates, the U.S. District Court for the District of Nevada instructed the BLM to consider whether Lithium Americas should be permitted to dump waste rock from its Thacker Pass lithium project at a location just south of the Oregon border. In short, Lithium Americas now has a green light to proceed with exploitation of what Lithium Americas calls "the largest known lithium resource in the U.S." It keeps the company on track to begin producing up to 40,000 tons of lithium carbonate per year by late 2026, and as much as 80,000 tons per year in a later Phase 2 of the project.
