Shen Weizheng, a senior hedge fund manager and guest commentator at Huasheng Securities, today sent a message discussing artificial meat.
The artificial meat sector has been on fire recently with the launch of Beyond Meat, but its rival, Impossible Foods, is likely to be even stronger, with a new round of funding on Monday already surpassing the size of the former's IPO. Clearly, the two companies will lead a new storm, like Coca-Cola and Pepsi in the artificial meat world, which, while competitive, are likely to succeed.
The two companies have many similarities, both of which have their own places in the fast-food industry, and their investors include sports and entertainment stars, as well as the ingredients for their products. Yet The valuation of Impossible Foods is still a mystery, with the industry estimating that there is at least $1bn, similar to the pre-8 valuation of Beyond Meat, which was valued at $4bn.
By contrast, Coca-Cola and Pepsico have returned about 10 per cent a year over the past five years, similar to the Dow Jones average. But in the 10 years since the introduction of sugar-free cola in 1982, with an annualized return of 30 per cent, investors must have hoped that the same story would happen to the two artificial meat companies.
In addition, another company, Alev Farms, has developed its own grown meat in the lab and recently raised $12 million, al at a high cost, long before the commercial phase, but that could be a big step forward.
