Shares of vegan burger maker Beyond Meat soared on their Wall Street debut as investors bet on the growing popularity of plant-based foods.

The stock closed up 163% on the first day of trading, valuing the California company at close to $3.8bn. 

The company has aggressive plans to expand sales outside the US.

Money raised from the listing will give Beyond Meat the firepower to compete with other rivals in the increasingly crowded fake meat market, which includes Silicon Valley start-up Impossible Foods.
