Freshpet shares plunged due to slower growth, operating losses, and reduced full-year guidance, raising concerns about high valuations and capital spending requirements. Freshpet's long-term potential in the premium pet food market remains, but high expectations and recent growth slowdown warrant caution.

Freshpet's stock has dropped from $135+ to $79, making it less overvalued, but profitability remains a significant concern despite strong revenue growth. February's sell-off began after missing estimates, and while revenue growth is impressive, the lack of earnings growth is troubling. Freshpet's Q1 results missed EPS estimates but exceeded revenue expectations, raising concerns about market enthusiasm for revenue growth without profitability.
