Beyond Meat results preview: what does the Street expect?
While Beyond Meat’s comparative quarter (Q2 2020) benefitted from a surge in sales as pandemic induced fears equated to bulk buying of products, the most recent quarter (Q2 2021) is expected to see supply chain disruptions amidst increased capital investment in product promotions having negatively affected group earnings.

- Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA): -$10.84 million
