@limlupin Impressive move — integrating AI into food tech could be the turning point for cost efficiency and sustainability. Excited to see if Beyond can truly beat animal protein on both price and nutrition.

@MarketWatcher00 Beyond starts the Beyond AI Initiative, integrating AI driven autonomous protein sequencing and predictive manufacturing to reduce production costs by 50%. Our goal is to use AI to make 'Beyond' products more affordable than animal protein, fighting inflation for our customers.

Beyond’s rebrand is more than a name change — dropping “Meat” signals a pivot toward plant-based functional nutrition, not imitation beef. CEO Ethan Brown says the goal is to become a daily protein brand, not a burger company. #BYND #Beyond #PlantProtein #FoodTech

$LAES 🚀 SEALSQ just dropped a monster vision: a full quantum vertical from silicon RoT to distributed quantum compute — plus a 100‑sat orbital cloud backed by a $200M fund. If they execute even 30% of this, $LAES $WKEY $WIHN enter a different league. Quantum + space + security is officially a theme to watch. #QuantumComputing #Semis #AIInfra #SpaceTech

I get the 'unnatural' concern and you definitely got a point on this —plant-based already faces skepticism. In my opinion, what @BeyondMeat thinks, '4.0' is a smart transparency play: it tells loyal fans 'this is our best-yet formula' (healthier fats, meatier bite), like software updates we trust. Shoppers who care about evolution love it—beats vague 'New!' labels that flop. For mainstream, packaging explains the wins. Naming reflects real R&D progress, not gimmick—sales will prove if it converts doubters."

@MarketWatcher00 I have tried Beyond products. I have also worked with companies who are making cultured meat, like Upside, BlueNalu. It is already unnatural sounding to folks, so to name it something unnatural doesn’t help. My only take. Naming is a big deal.

“Beyond Meat is Quietly Transforming Itself — Now It Needs a Repricing” $BYND has already rebuilt half the company this year — and the market still hasn’t priced it in: • Beyond Immerse platform launched A new R&D + sensory‑testing system that accelerates reformulations, cuts development time, and improves texture/taste consistency across global markets. • New Beyond Sausage 4.0 launched Cleaner label, lower sodium, improved fat distribution, and cheaper to produce — a major margin lever. • New distribution wins: – Starbucks China expanded plant‑based menu items using Beyond products – Carrefour EU expanded Beyond IV listings – Tesco UK added new Beyond IV SKUs – Costco US re‑introduced select Beyond items in regional rotations – Food‑service expansion with universities, stadiums, and mid‑tier QSR chains – New partnerships in Middle East + Southeast Asia through distributors like Al Islami Foods • Product innovation: – Beyond IV Beef & Burger – Beyond Steak expansion – New Chicken‑style products in pilot markets – Reformulated Crumbles for food‑service – Lower‑cost manufacturing processes integrated into all new SKUs • Financial + operational reset: – ~19% workforce reduction – Operating expenses down ~35% YoY – Gross margin turned positive after two years of negative prints – Inventory down double‑digits – Manufacturing efficiency program targeting double‑digit cost cuts – SKU rationalization to focus on profitable core items – Pricing architecture reset to narrow the gap with conventional meat • Leadership upgrades: – New CFO Lubi Kutua – New Chief Growth Officer Akerho “AK” Oghoghomeh (ex‑Coca‑Cola) – Strengthened R&D + sensory science teams • Climate & sustainability data: – Up to 90% lower GHG emissions vs. beef – 99% less water – 93% less land use – New LCA‑aligned sustainability reporting framework After all this, $BYND still trades like none of these changes happened. At some point, the market will need to reprice the new Beyond Meat reality.

@NoCapCatalyst The opinion can be divisive. Inthink it is better name to be transparent, to singal progress, to track whether which product gen appeals to people taste bud. Lets see. Have you tried any?

@MarketWatcher00 Bro any food should not have a number after it. Sausage 4.0 sounds absolutely insane.

@dleezy @RpsAgainstTrump Apologies if it came this way homie. It was meme for Trump, not putting anything for DS ❣️

@MarketWatcher00 @RpsAgainstTrump I don’t like this, my Uncle was born with Down syndrome, he and every other person with it, are some of the sweetest, most loving people on this planet. Wrong depiction here, this orange deranged mother fucker is Satan

Trump: I ended 8 wars. A ninth is coming. Nobody's ever ended one war. Who's ended one? Nobody

@MarioNawfal Meanwhile NATO chief 😅 Either statement is fabricated or NATO is hypocrite.

🇺🇸 Trump: "Why are we spending hundreds of billions of dollars a year on NATO if they're not going to be with us?" NATO = an attack on one is an attack on all. NATO ≠ an attack by one is an attack by all. It’s a DEFENSIVE alliance. Period.

It is always better to #factcheck such claims 👇 ✅ FACT‑CHECK: Nike Insider Buys (Elliott Hill & Tim Cook) This is recent news, confirmed by SEC filings and multiple financial outlets. --- 1. What actually happened (with dates + sources) Elliott Hill — Nike CEO - Bought: 23,660 shares - Price: ~$42.27 - Total: ≈ $1,000,000 - Date: April 13, 2026 - Source: SEC Form 4 (reported via Blockonomi, Yahoo Finance) Tim Cook — Nike Board Member - Bought: 25,000 shares - Price: ~$42.43 - Total: ≈ $1,060,000 - Date: April 10, 2026 - Source: SEC Form 4 (reported via 24/7 Wall St., Yahoo Finance) These were open‑market purchases, the most transparent and least suspicious form of insider activity. --- 2. Did the stock move afterward? ✔ Yes — immediately. Nike rose 2–4% in after‑hours trading once the filings became public. Sources: - Yahoo Finance - 24/7 Wall St. But Nike is still: - –32% YTD - ~–50% over 3 years So the bounce was small relative to the long-term decline. --- 3. Could this be manipulation? Based on the evidence: No. Why: - These were standard open‑market buys at normal prices. - Fully disclosed via SEC Form 4 (legal requirement). - The amounts (~$1M each) are tiny relative to Nike’s ~$140B market cap. - Insider buying during deep sell‑offs is common and usually signals confidence, not manipulation. - No evidence of coordinated pumping or special arrangements. --- 🧠 My Insight (based on the data) - This looks like classic confidence signaling, not manipulation. - Insiders often buy when a stock hits multi‑year lows to show belief in a turnaround. - The stock reacted modestly, which is normal. - Nike’s structural issues (China weakness, margin pressure, guidance cuts) still exist — insider buying doesn’t fix fundamentals. - If insiders are right, the worst may be priced in. If they’re wrong, the stock can still fall. --- 📌 BOTTOM LINE - Yes, this is recent (April 2026). - Yes, the insider buys are real and confirmed. - Yes, the stock moved slightly afterward. - No evidence suggests manipulation. - Nike’s long-term issues remain unresolved. --- ⚠️ Disclaimer This is not financial advice. Always do your own research and consider your own risk tolerance before making investment decisions.

Nike CEO Elliott Hill buys $1 million in stock and Tim Cook, board member, buys $1.1 million...

Vance says that stopping funding for Ukraine is one of his proudest achievements in this administration. ​I’m watching this stunningly cruel speech from Ukraine, as Russia continues to kills us every day. Just today, they killed 8-year-old boy in Cherkasy and five people in Dnipro. Dozens more were injured. ​The military assistance you are so proud of stopping was used to save lives in a war Russia started and continues every day by choice, in a war that only became possible after USA pressured Ukraine into disarming... ​I do not know if Vance can fully comprehend the scale of the tragedy unfolding here: a brutal, illegal war of extermination by Russia, and the slow abandonment by our allies. There is nothing to be proud of. Absolutely nothing.
