Massive IPOs and M&A Activity Reveal Market’s Appetite for Plant-Based Stocks

FN Media Group Presents Microsmallcap.com Market Commentary

 

New York, NY – July 13, 2021 – The plant-based investment craze may have begun back when Beyond Meat launched its IPO in 2018, but the market has shown no signs of slowing since. Investments like plant-based chicken company SIMULATE’s $50 million funding round, which included music legend and entrepreneur Jay-Z, and Oatly’s (NASDAQ:OTLY) recent $1.4 billion IPO further cement plant-based food’s growing role in modern society. As investors take note of these developments, companies like Else Nutrition (TSXV:BABY) (OTCQX:BABYF) could potentially be an attractive candidate for an acquisition by one of the larger players in the industry, after Else’s successful launch of its plant-based nutrition for toddlers. Other companies such as Conagra Brands, Inc. (NYSE:CAG), ADM (NYSE:ADM), and Tyson Foods (NYSE:TSN) are also following lead with their recent launches and lab openings to meet consumers demands worldwide. As the ongoing rapid growth continues for the plant-based industry, the market is projected to be a hundred times larger by 2050.
