Beyond Meat's Upbeat 2023 Revenue Forecast and Cost Controls Boost Shares Despite Inflation Concerns
Beyond Meat, the plant-based meat producer, announced a revenue forecast for 2023 that is slightly higher than analysts' predictions. Despite concerns about high inflation and slow growth, the company expects to generate between $375 million and $415 million in revenue next year. Beyond Meat's shares rose by more than 13% after the announcement, as investors were encouraged by the company's plans to double down on cost controls. However, analysts caution that Beyond Meat has had to lower its guidance multiple times in the past few years, and increased competition and consumers trading down to cheaper products may hurt growth.
Beyond Meat發表了2023年的收益預測，略高於分析師的預測。儘管存在高通脹和經濟增長放緩的問題，該公司預計明年將創造3.75至4.15億萬美元的收入。在公司計劃加倍控制成本的鼓舞下，Beyond Meat的股價上漲了逾13％。然而，分析師提醒稱，Beyond Meat在過去幾年中不得不多次降低預測，且增加的競爭和消費者轉向更便宜的產品可能會損害公司的增長。
Beyond Meat expects to reduce operating expenses by 22% in 2023, compared to a 9% increase in 2022. The company's net revenue fell 21% to $79.9 million in Q4 2022 compared to the previous year, but still beat analysts' expectations. The net loss for the company narrowed to $66.9 million, or $1.05 per share, in Q4 2022, which was better than analysts' estimates. Beyond Meat had previously announced that it was targeting cash flow positive operations in the second half of 2023.
Beyond Meat預計在2023年將運營開支降低22％，而2022年則增加了9％。該公司2022年第四季度的凈收入與去年同期相比下降了21％，但仍超出了分析師的預期。公司的凈虧損在2022年第四季度縮小至6690萬美元，每股虧損1.05美元，優於分析師的預估。Beyond Meat之前已宣布，公司將在2023年下半年實現正現金流。
Despite concerns about inflation and competition, Beyond Meat's cost control measures and optimistic revenue forecast have encouraged investors. However, analysts caution that the company has had to lower its guidance multiple times in the past few years, and competition and cost pressures may impact future growth.
儘管存在通脹和競爭的問題，Beyond Meat的成本控制措施和樂觀的收益預測鼓舞了投資者。然而，分析師提醒稱，公司在過去幾年中曾多次降低預測，競爭和成本壓力可能會影響未來的增長。Article referenced from: https://www.agriculture.com/markets/newswire/update-3-beyond-meats-upbeat-2023-revenue-forecast-cost-controls-lift-shares
