From a valuation perspective, Beyond Meat shares trade at a steep price-sales ratio of 15.73, making the stock less attractive to value investors. Moreover, its price-book value of 27/08 suggests the stock could be substantially overvalued.

Analysts also expect its earnings per share to plummet by more than 187% this year before bouncing back by 63% next year. In addition, they expect its earnings to decline at an average annual rate of 4% over the next five years.

Therefore, growth investors could also opt for alternatives in the market. However, due to the changing eating habits and the growing popularity of plant-based meat products, Beyond Meat could still be an exciting long-term buy for those willing to overlook the short-term turbulence.

Technically, Beyond Meat shares seem to have recently bounced off the trendline support in the intraday chart. As a result, the stock price has now surged closer to the trendline resistance.

However, it is still far from reaching the overbought conditions of the 14-day RSI. Therefore, the current rebound could continue, triggering a channel breakout.

As a result, investors can target extended gains at about $119.40 or higher at $125.72, while $106.40 and $99.84 are crucial support levels.

Bottom line: the Beyond Meat rebound seems poised to continue
