Why Is SunOpta (STKL) Stock Rocketing Higher Today

What Happened:

Shares of plant-based food and beverage company SunOpta (NASDAQGS:STKL) jumped 15.1% in the morning session after the company reported a "beat and raise" quarter. First-quarter results blew past analysts' revenue expectations, due to a 23.5% volume growth partially offset by a 5% price reduction for pass-through commodity pricing. EPS was inline with expectations. Its full-year revenue guidance also came in higher than Wall Street's estimates (raised from $685 million to $700 million). Zooming out, we think this was a fantastic quarter that should have shareholders cheering.
