Has The Plant-Based Food Stocks Index Finally Bottomed?
The munKNEE Pure-Play Plant-Based Food Stocks Index of 5 fake meat, dairy, egg, and seafood companies was only down -1% last week, which is very encouraging for a sector that is down -75.1% from its high in 2021 and has declined -35.8% YTD.

The 5 stocks in the munKNEE Pure-Play Plant-Based Food Stocks Index are focused almost exclusively on the research, development, sales, distribution, and marketing of vegan food products; as such, we think the Index reflects the true health of the plant-based food sector in the U.S. and Canada.
