“At some point, we’ll enter the public markets,” Tetrick reportedly told Bloomberg. “No timeline for it, but at some point we’ll do it. We’ll see that as a financing event.”
Beyond Meat, a peer among the growing number of companies offering plant-based products, listed earlier this month, with its shares closing a debut session on Nasdaq at US$65.75, having been priced at $25. At the close of trading yesterday (16 May), Beyond Meat’s shares were worth $92.92.
Tetrick said Beyond Meat’s move was “a great thing”, adding: “When we raise capital, it attracts investors to the space, and when others have really successful IPOs, like Beyond Meat did, it brings more attention to everyone.”
