One-time penny stock Beyond Meat soars after addition to meme ETF, jumps 90% on Tuesday

  • On Oct 20, 2025, Beyond Meat, Inc. surged on Nasdaq, more than doubling intraday and rising as much as 137% during the session.
  • Last week, Beyond Meat's convertible-note exchange triggered a surge by swapping nearly 97% of its $1.11 billion in 0% notes for $196 million in new 7% notes and 316 million new shares, increasing shares more than fourfold.
  • Posting on social platforms, Dimitri Semenikhin, retail trader , said `At the current price that I bought in, the pricing was just way too low for what was happening` as mentions jumped 84% on Reddit's r/WallStreetBets.
  • Trading volume exploded, with over a billion shares changing hands as institutional short sellers scrambled to cover, while analysts warn liquidity relief brings massive dilution amid unprofitable revenue.
  • The event echoes the 2021 meme-stock episode as retail meme traders drove Beyond Meat's rally, while Walmart expanded distribution to more than 2,000 stores, though analysts warn fundamentals lag.
