Investment Highlights Why It Matters Which of these 2 stories sounds closer for this stock?

1. Generates cash flow

The stock generated 4% or more of the share price (called cash flow yield), and shows moderate 10-15% or more growth.

2. Riding a trend

Think Tesla during the pandemic of 2020 when EVs were riding a cultural high, or Nvidia in the current AI boom, or even Figma. These companies don’t have enough yield, or, enough growth, or both - however - they are riding a trend. They have momentum. These can be more volatile - they don’t have the floor of strong cash flow

Why The Stock Moved


Qualitative Assessment

AI Generated Analysis | Feedback

Here are five key points highlighting why Zevia PBC (ZVIA) stock experienced an approximate -10.7% movement for the period from August 31, 2025, to December 16, 2025: 1. Gross Margin Reduction Despite Sales Growth in Q3 2025
Although Zevia PBC reported stronger-than-expected net sales and a 12% year-over-year increase in Q3 2025, its gross profit margin decreased to 45.6% from 49.1% in the prior year. This reduction was primarily attributed to higher inventory losses from a packaging refresh and the full impact of aluminum tariffs, raising concerns about sustained profitability.

2. Persistent Net Losses and Extended Unprofitability Forecasts
Zevia PBC continued to report a net loss of $2.8 million in Q3 2025, remaining unchanged year-over-year. The company is currently unprofitable and is not projected to achieve profitability within the next three years, with an adjusted EBITDA loss also anticipated for Q4 2025. This ongoing unprofitability likely contributed to negative investor sentiment.
