For the secondary offering, Howard thinks it's "interesting that we are going to get a more sizable float," but there is still going to be a very small portion of the overall company's value that is going to be publicly traded. Howard expects the company to use the raised funds to increase the capacity and get ahead of the competition.
Howard said the stock's valuation as become "more and more stretched." In case of some weakness and a pullback, that might be an opportunity to get back in the stock, she said.
The analyst has a Neutral rating on the stock.
Beyond Meat's stock traded down 14% to $191 per share in Monday's after-hours session.
