NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 08:01 ET — Premarket
- BellRing Brands shares were little changed before the open after a steep drop in the prior session.
- A shareholder law firm said it opened a securities-fraud investigation into the Premier Protein maker.
- Investors are looking ahead to the company’s next results, estimated for early February.
BellRing Brands Inc shares were down 0.1% in premarket trading on Tuesday at about $27.3, after sliding roughly 9% in the previous session. Marketbeat
The move matters because BellRing’s next quarter will be the first full read-through on its fiscal 2026 outlook after a volatile stretch for the stock. Investors are focused on whether demand for convenient nutrition is holding up as retailers manage inventories and promotions.
It also lands at a sensitive moment for the company’s story: how much of its sales momentum comes from consumers buying through at the shelf versus shipments to retailers. That distinction can change how traders model growth and margins.
Bleichmar Fonti & Auld LLP said on Monday it is investigating BellRing for potential violations of federal securities laws. The firm alleged BellRing’s growth may have been boosted by “trade inventory loading” — shipping extra product to retailers to build inventory — rather than sustainable end-consumer demand, according to the release.
On Monday, BRBR opened at $30.15, fell to as low as $26.67 and ended the session at $27.33 on volume of about 4.48 million shares, Investing.com data showed. Traders will be watching whether the stock holds the late-December low near $26.7, with the prior close around $30.2 now acting as a near-term hurdle.
A Form 4 filing on Monday showed director Elliot H. Stein Jr reporting a transaction involving 4,916 shares at a price of $0, described as a transfer and a correction to prior beneficial ownership reporting. Bellring
The broader market was slightly softer in early trading, with the S&P 500-tracking SPDR ETF down about 0.4% and the Nasdaq 100-tracking QQQ down about 0.5%.
BellRing last reported quarterly results on Nov. 18, when it missed analysts’ earnings-per-share expectations and issued fiscal 2026 revenue guidance of about $2.4 billion to $2.5 billion, MarketBeat data showed. MarketBeat also lists the next earnings date as estimated for Feb. 2, after the market close. Marketbeat
In the meantime, investors will watch for any further legal developments tied to the investigation and for any new disclosures in regulatory filings. The next earnings call will also be the next clear chance for management to address retailer inventory trends, promotional intensity and cost pressures in more detail.
