Trading activity has gone quiet — just 0.5x of its usual 14-week average. But the buying that is happening outweighs the selling (1.90 buyers-vs-sellers ratio). When volume dries up but buyers are still showing up more than sellers, it can mean the worst of the selling is over and the stock is quietly building a floor.
Over the past 324 weeks of data, BYND has crossed below its 200-week moving average 4 times. On average, these episodes lasted 66 weeks. The average one-year return after crossing below was -9.8%, suggesting these dips have not historically been reliable buying opportunities for this stock.
With a market cap of $366 million, BYND is a small-cap stock. Free cash flow yield is currently negative, meaning the company is burning cash. The stock trades at -15.4x book value.
Share count has increased 611.4% over three years, indicating dilution.
Over the past 6.2 years, a hypothetical investment of $100 in BYND would have grown to $1, compared to $280 for the S&P 500. BYND has returned -54.0% annualized vs 17.9% for the index, underperforming the broader market over this period.
Free cash flow has been volatile over the past several years, making the quality of earnings harder to assess.

Bean Score Experimental
The Bean Score measures how far a stock's free cash flow yield has deviated from its own quarterly baseline, normalized by the stock's historical behavior. BYND currently has negative free cash flow, so price-based dislocation levels are not available. The score still tracks yield deviation from baseline.

Signal Accuracy Collecting Data
The Bean Score system is accumulating weekly data to validate signal accuracy. After 13+ weeks of history, this section will display win rates and average returns for each σ threshold crossing — answering the question: "When this score says cheap or expensive, does the price subsequently move in the expected direction?"
Theoretical framework — not backtested or forward-tested. The Bean Score uses trailing twelve-month free cash flow yield as a dislocation identifier. It measures whether the market has pushed a stock's yield unusually far from its own baseline behavior. These levels are reference points for identifying potential swing trade opportunities, not buy/sell signals. FCF values update quarterly with earnings; between reports, all movement is price-driven.
Dislocation Scores Experimental
Each score measures deviation from BYND's own historical baseline — the same idea as the Bean Score, applied to different fundamentals. Positive means cheaper or more dislocated than this stock's norm. Scores marked σ are normalized by the stock's own variability; pp values are simple deltas from its recent baseline.
Theoretical framework — not backtested. These scores describe how unusual today's readings are for this specific company. They are starting points for research, not buy or sell signals. Annual-statement scores (buyback, accruals, FCF vs history) rest on only ~4 yearly data points and are deltas, not sigmas.
