Beyond Meat and PepsiCo announced Tuesday that they've formed a joint venture to create, produce and market snacks and drinks with plant-based substitutes.
Shares of Beyond jumped as much as 31% in morning trading on the news, while Pepsi's stock rose about 1%. The run in Beyond Meat may have been helped by hedge funds rushing to cover their bets against the stock, a trend unfolding in may heavily-shorted names this year. More than 38% of the Beyond Meat shares available for trading are sold short, according to FactSet.
