Deep Sail Capital stated the following regarding Beyond Meat, Inc. (NASDAQ:BYND) in its fourth quarter 2025 investor letter:

“In the fourth quarter, the long portfolio outperformed both of our benchmarks, the Russell 2000 Index and the Russell Midcap Growth Index, by a significant margin. The largest contributor in Q4 was Beyond Meat, Inc. (NASDAQ:BYND), which was a shortly held special situation short squeeze that returned 350% in the matter of a few days. The opportunity set for short squeezes is very limited, but as an avid watcher of highly shorted stocks, they arise occasionally, and the fund’s strategy is to take advantage of those opportunities on the long side. I wouldn’t count on this type of one off returns from shorts squeezes to become a regular occurrence within the fund but rather a positive situation every few years.”
