股價(jià)虛高,摩根大通下調(diào)Beyond Meat評(píng)級(jí)

Anne Sraders 2019-06-16
摩根大通將其評(píng)級(jí)從“超配”下調(diào)至“中性”,并將目標(biāo)價(jià)定為121美元。

券商摩根大通剛剛下調(diào)了人造肉公司Beyond Meat的評(píng)級(jí),這對一些激動(dòng)的投資者來說也許難以接受。

幫助Beyond Meat上市后,摩根大通于6月11日將其評(píng)級(jí)從“超配”下調(diào)至“中性”,并將目標(biāo)價(jià)定為121美元。摩根大通分析師肯·戈德曼在研究報(bào)告中對客戶表示,Beyond Meat的股價(jià)已經(jīng)超過“我們的目標(biāo)價(jià)”。

在今年5月上市后,Beyond Meat一直呈直線上升態(tài)勢,目前股價(jià)已經(jīng)比25美元的首日開盤價(jià)上漲600%。戈德曼指出:“下調(diào)評(píng)級(jí)純粹是從估值角度考慮。我們上周就已經(jīng)指出,‘在某個(gè)時(shí)候,Beyond Meat在收入和盈利方面蘊(yùn)含的出眾潛力……將得到體現(xiàn)’——我們認(rèn)為這一天已經(jīng)到來。”

但盡管遭到拋售——6月11日盤中這只股票一度下跌21%,一些專家仍然認(rèn)為這次股價(jià)下滑更多的是對圍繞著Beyond Meat的過度興奮情緒的反應(yīng),而非其價(jià)值。

咨詢機(jī)構(gòu)OC&C Strategy Consultants專門研究零售和消費(fèi)行業(yè)的合伙人庫瓦·諾克斯說:“我覺得那股興奮情緒當(dāng)然有可能稍超前于現(xiàn)在這家公司所處的位置。但我能理解這次的評(píng)級(jí)下調(diào),它更多的是回歸中性,就像是在說:‘好的,現(xiàn)在它的股價(jià)已經(jīng)很高了,稍微冷靜一下也不是不行。’這當(dāng)然不是說他們不相信[這家公司的]未來,但現(xiàn)在的估值有些超前,用現(xiàn)在的價(jià)格和實(shí)現(xiàn)預(yù)期所需的時(shí)間相比,它的價(jià)格可能偏高。”

諾克斯仍然認(rèn)為人造肉是“食品行業(yè)引人關(guān)注的增長領(lǐng)域之一”,而且投資者顯然看好Beyond Meat相對于其他小眾公司更貼合主流的吸引力。

雖然有些投資者可能在6月11日嚇了一跳,但分析師的評(píng)級(jí)仍然相當(dāng)中立。

彭博數(shù)據(jù)顯示,Beyond Meat目前評(píng)級(jí)中有兩個(gè)“中性”和兩個(gè)“持有”,承銷商摩根大通此前的評(píng)級(jí)為“超配”。

對許多食品行業(yè)專家來說,如果能夠保持執(zhí)行力,Beyond Meat就依然很吸引人。

投資銀行Alantra的董事總經(jīng)理、全球消費(fèi)食品部門負(fù)責(zé)人杰夫·羅巴茲說:“就收入而言,這些產(chǎn)品顯然有市場。我認(rèn)為從消費(fèi)者的角度來看,推動(dòng)需求的實(shí)際上是環(huán)境和可持續(xù)性因素。Beyond Meat和Impossible Foods用非常好的辦法解決了這些問題,所以顯然有很大的益處。”

競爭加劇

但羅巴茲堅(jiān)持認(rèn)為,Beyond Meat等食品行業(yè)顛覆者要確保自己能夠保持生產(chǎn)和銷售增速,以便獲得較高的估值,特別是在出現(xiàn)了競爭以后。

他說:“泰森食品和雀巢打算進(jìn)入這個(gè)市場并投入大量資金,也就是說,Beyond Meat一定會(huì)有市場,但也將面臨競爭。我確實(shí)覺得人們看好Beyond Meat和Impossible Foods是因?yàn)樗鼈冇幸恍┫劝l(fā)優(yōu)勢,而且它們推出的產(chǎn)品看來確實(shí)很好,也引起了消費(fèi)者的興趣。但這樣的市場機(jī)遇還會(huì)引來很多東西,所以保持執(zhí)行力對它們來說真的很重要。”

雖然下調(diào)評(píng)級(jí)的消息造成股價(jià)大跌,但這可能給了投資者介入的機(jī)會(huì),就像羅巴茲所說,這或許是“參與此類市場趨勢的機(jī)會(huì)之一”。

不過,新股可能估值過高并不是什么新鮮事。在剛上市的那幾周,拼車服務(wù)商Lyft的股價(jià)持續(xù)震蕩,這可能影響了它的聲譽(yù)。許多分析師都認(rèn)為Lyft首日股價(jià)過高,在上市僅第二周Lyft的股價(jià)就暴跌了20%左右。

與Lyft很相似,Beyond Meat正在成為做空熱門,最近它成了股價(jià)較高的融券對象之一。實(shí)際上,分析機(jī)構(gòu)S3 Partners的數(shù)據(jù)顯示,6月10日,Beyond Meat現(xiàn)有空頭倉位的融券手續(xù)費(fèi)超過了134%。

對某些人來說,Beyond Meat可能出現(xiàn)軋空行情。

S3 Partners的董事總經(jīng)理伊霍爾·達(dá)薩尼斯基在6月10日發(fā)表的報(bào)告中寫道:“Beyond Meat在很短時(shí)間內(nèi)軋空的可能性非常大。由于空方不可能采取更多或有影響的行動(dòng),Beyond Meat的股價(jià)應(yīng)繼續(xù)上行,而且阻力非常小。”

軋空是指某只股票上漲從而迫使做空者平倉的情況,它可能意味著投資者對Beyond Meat投下了信任票。

同時(shí),分析師還沒有真的開始看跌這只股票,瑞士信貸給的目標(biāo)價(jià)最高,為125美元。對那些和諾克斯看法相似的人來說,Beyond Meat可能還有一些上升空間。諾克斯說:“繼續(xù)出現(xiàn)一些震蕩不會(huì)讓我感到意外。現(xiàn)在的做空倉位很多,很多人對這只股票的操作都和我們不同,而且我覺得接下來一段時(shí)間它無論如何都一定會(huì)有些起伏。”

不過,還無法判斷Beyond Meat能否繼續(xù)為投資者強(qiáng)勁上漲。(財(cái)富中文網(wǎng))

Underwriter J.P. Morgan’s new downgrade of Beyond Meat may be hard for giddy investors to swallow.

After taking the alternative meat company public, J.P. Morgan downgraded the stock to “overweight” from a “neutral” rating early on June 11, setting its target price at $121 per share. The plant-based meat company’s stock is “beyond our price target,” J.P. Morgan analyst Ken Goldman told clients in a note.

The stock has seen a meteoric rise since its initial public offering in May, soaring some 600% from its debut price at $25. “This downgrade is purely a valuation call,” Goldman said. “As we wrote last week, ‘At some point, the extraordinary revenue and profit potential embedded in BYND… will be priced in’ – we think this day has arrived.”

But despite the selloff—the stock was down 21% in intraday trading on June 11—some experts believe the dip is more of a reaction to the overexcitement around the stock rather than it’s value.

“I think it’s certainly possible that that excitement has gotten a little ahead of where the business is at the moment,” Coye Nokes of OC&C Strategy Consultants, who specializes in the retail and consumer space, said. “But I can understand the downgrade – it’s more a move to neutral that kind of says, ‘okay, it’s pretty pricey at the moment and a little bit of a calming down is not unreasonable.’ It’s certainly not saying they don’t believe in the future of [this company], but the valuation has gotten a little bit ahead of where they are and could be overpriced in terms of what you pay if you bought now versus how long that might take for that to play out.”

Nokes maintains that the plant-based food space is “one of the interesting growth areas in food right now,” and that investors appear bullish on Beyond Meat’s more mainstream appeal compared to other niche companies in the space.

While some investors may have been spooked on June 11, analyst ratings remain fairly neutral.

According to Bloomberg data, Beyond Meat currently has two “neutral” ratings, two “hold” ratings and now an “overweight” rating from the company’s underwriter J.P. Morgan.

And for many experts in the food space, Beyond Meat is still appetizing if they are able to continue to execute.

“From the topline perspective, clearly there’s a market for these products,” Jeff Robards, MD and head of the global consumer foods group at investment bank Alantra, said. “I think the thing that’s driving the demand from a consumer perspective is really the environmental and sustainability element. Beyond Meat and Impossible Foods are solving for that in a really good way, so clearly there’s a lot of mileage.”

Competition heating up

But Robards maintains that disruptors in the food space like Beyond Meat will need to ensure they are able to keep up with production and sales growth in order to justify a higher valuation – especially with competition on the way.

“You have Tysons and Nestle who are going to be getting into this market with huge amounts of capital, so there’s definitely a market for it but there’s going to be competition,” Robards said. “I do think people like Beyond Meat and Impossible Foods have a bit of a first-mover advantage and seem to have created products that are really good and interesting for the consumer, but there’s a lot that’s going to have to shake out in this overall market opportunity, so it’s going to be really important for them to continue to execute.”

Although the company’s stock plunged with the news, the dip may be a potential opening for investors, as Robards says it may be “the one opportunity to get in on this market trend.”

Still, the trend of potentially overvalued IPOs isn’t anything new. Perhaps infamously, ridesharing company Lyft had a bumpy ride in its first few weeks as a publicly traded company. Debuting at what many analysts considered an overvalued price-point, the stock proceeded to plummet some 20% in only its second week after going public.

But much like Lyft, Beyond Meat is becoming a hot stock to short – recently becoming one of the more expensive stocks to borrow for. In fact, according to analytics firm S3 Partners, the company’s stock-borrow fees for existing shorts topped 134% as of June 10.

And for some, Beyond Meat is a candidate for a squeeze.

“There is a very good chance that there will be a Beyond Meat short squeeze in the very near future,” Ihor Dusaniwsky, managing director at S3, wrote in a report on June 10. “With no additional or impactful short side activity possible, Beyond Meat’s stock price should continue its upward trajectory with very little opposition.”

The short squeeze, which occurs when a stock moves higher and forces short sellers to close their positions, could indicate a vote of confidence in Beyond Meat from investors.

And analysts aren’t exactly souring to the stock just yet, with the highest target estimate at $125 from Credit Suisse. For those like Nokes, the stock may still have some blips to ride out. “I wouldn’t be surprised if there continues to be some volatility,” Nokes said. “There’s a lot of short selling going on and a lot of people playing differently in this stock, and I think that is just going to be a bit volatile for a little while anyway.”

Still, whether or not the company will continue to sizzle for investors is yet to be determined.
