While Beyond Meat made the news in the US this week because of an alleged assault by its chief operations officer, investor concerns grow as the share price continues to tumble.
By close of business on Monday, the share price had fallen to its lowest ever value at $17.06, a long way from the high of $115 a year ago and even further from its all time high of $239.71 in July 2019.
