The Beyond Meat stock is struggling to withstand the invasion of short-sellers.

Short interest climbed to about 36 percent of Beyond Meat’s free float, making it the most shorted business in the Russell 1000 index. This is up from 26 percent at the beginning of October 2021, and short interest is rising at an alarming rate for the producer of plant-based meat.
