Beyond Meat beats quarterly revenue estimates, raises forecast

Beyond Meat Inc beat second-quarter revenue estimates and raised its full-year forecast on Monday, as the company's plant-based burgers and sausages saw booming demand with consumers looking to try meat alternatives.

The company said it expects net revenue to rise over 170% to $240 million in 2019, up from the prior $210 million it had forecast just last month.

Net revenue rose to $67.3 million, above Wall Street's estimate of $52.71 million, according to Refinitiv IBES data.
