Wasatch Small Cap Growth Strategy stated the following regarding BellRing Brands, Inc. (NYSE:BRBR) in its third quarter 2025 investor letter:

“BellRing Brands, Inc. (NYSE:BRBR) was the largest detractor from Fund performance during the quarter. BellRing is a consumer-staples company known for its Premier Protein line and other convenient-nutrition products. What’s weighed on the stock most is that one of BellRing’s club channel partners is expanding the floor space of the protein shake category and giving some space to other competitors. We spoke with management after that news and reevaluated the business. We came out of that work with continued conviction in the company. We believe BellRing has maintained its leadership position, and that this floor space expansion reflects the health of the category. Looking ahead, we continue to believe BellRing has headroom to double its business, supported by category growth, sourcing share from incumbent brands, and remaining a category leader in its space.”
