Why Beyond Meat shares surged over 1,000% in four days

Beyond Meat shares have surged over 1,000% in just four days, driven by volatile trading and online enthusiasm from individual investors. The vegan burger maker, known for its plant-based products, had struggled with sluggish sales and lack of profitability before the recent rally. The surge was fueled by a Reddit user's posts, a meme stock ETF adding the company, and a distribution deal with Walmart. Despite this growth, some experts warn that the stock's rise may be driven more by emotions and technical factors than fundamental strengths of the business.
