HelloFresh shares took a nosedive of 42% following the meal kit-maker’s dismal earnings outlook, projecting a potential drop in adjusted earnings by as much as $437.4 million.

The Berlin-based company saw its shares close at 6.86 euros, reflecting a staggering 46% decline over the course of the week, marking Friday as the worst-ever session for HelloFresh since its initial public offering in November 2017.

In a disappointing disclosure made after Thursday’s market close, HelloFresh revealed its bleak outlook for 2024, anticipating adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) to plummet between approximately $382.8 million and $437.4 million.

This stark contrast from analysts’ expectations for higher revenue in the company’s North American market sent shockwaves through the investor community.

New fulfillment centres

The company attributed its projected losses to escalated production capacity and marketing expenditures, along with the commencement of operations at two new fulfillment centres.

HelloFresh is set to unveil its annual results on March 15.

However, ahead of this, it also warned of disappointing earnings for 2023, estimated at $480 million, down from around $521.5 million the previous year.

Analysts at UBS described the outlook as “far worse” than anticipated, despite having previously highlighted risks surrounding HelloFresh’s guidance.

The adjusted-down forecasts signal persisting elevated customer acquisition costs expected to endure into 2024, according to CNBC, citing UBS’s analysis.

Representatives for HelloFresh were unavailable for immediate comment on the matter.

Tesla’s brand value plummeted to $27.61 billion in 2025 amid Musk’s political shift, sparking investor concern.

Tesla’s brand value plummeted by $15.4 billion in 2025, falling to $27.61 billion from $66.2 billion in early 2023. Analysts say Elon Musk’s political focus and a slowdown in new models have distracted the company’s core business.

In the U.S., Tesla’s recommendation score sank to just 4 out of 10, down from 8.2 in 2023. Despite this, loyalty among existing owners remains high at 92 per cent, showing a strong but shrinking fan base.
