Globalharvest Holdings Venture Ltd., a roughly 10% owner of Mission Produce, acquired $7.7 million of Mission Produce common stock in two transactions in January 2026. The purchases bring its direct holdings to 9,461,588 shares. The insider buying comes as Mission reported record 2025 revenue of $1.39 billion, beat Q4 earnings estimates, and agreed to acquire Calavo Growers in a deal valued at about $430 million.

Key Points

  • Globalharvest Holdings Venture Ltd. purchased $7.7 million of Mission Produce common stock in two transactions on January 16 and January 20, 2026.
  • Following the purchases, Globalharvest directly owns 9,461,588 shares of Mission Produce.
  • Mission Produce reported record 2025 revenue of $1.39 billion, a 13% year-over-year increase, while Q4 revenue fell 10% to $319 million but EPS of $0.31 exceeded the $0.195 estimate; the company also agreed to acquire Calavo Growers in a deal valued at about $430 million.

Globalharvest Holdings Venture Ltd., which holds approximately ten percent of Mission Produce, Inc., increased its directly held position in the company this month by buying a total of $7.7 million in common shares, according to a Form 4/A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The filing shows two separate purchases. On January 16, 2026, Globalharvest acquired 324,302 shares at a weighted average price of $12.37, with transaction prices ranging from $11.89 to $12.54, for an aggregate cost of $4,011,955. A subsequent purchase on January 20, 2026, added another 300,000 shares at a price of $12.50, with those trades occurring between $12.23 and $12.58, for $3,750,000.

After completing these buys, Globalharvest directly holds 9,461,588 shares of Mission Produce.


These insider purchases arrive as Mission Produce disclosed its fourth-quarter and full-year financial results for 2025. The company recorded a company-high annual revenue of $1.39 billion for 2025, a 13% increase from the prior year. On a quarterly basis, Mission reported Q4 revenue of $319 million, a 10% decline versus the year-ago quarter, but still delivered earnings per share of $0.31, beating the consensus estimate of $0.195.

In a parallel strategic move, Mission agreed to buy Calavo Growers, Inc. in a transaction valued at roughly $430 million. Under the deal terms, Calavo shareholders will receive $27.00 per share, composed of $14.85 in cash plus 0.9790 shares of Mission stock for each Calavo share. The proposal represents a 26% premium to Calavo's 30-day volume-weighted average price.

Taken together, the insider purchases, the company’s reported results, and the announced acquisition underscore a period of active corporate activity for Mission Produce. The Form 4/A documents the recent share purchases precisely, while the earnings release and merger agreement set out the financial and strategic context surrounding Mission’s current trajectory.

Risks

  • Near-term top-line pressure: Mission’s Q4 revenue declined 10% versus the prior year quarter, indicating potential short-term volatility in sales that could affect the produce and fresh foods sector.
  • Transaction structure and potential equity impact: The Calavo acquisition includes an equity component of 0.9790 Mission shares per Calavo share, which may affect Mission’s outstanding share count and has implications for shareholders in the produce and broader food supply chain sectors.
  • Deal valuation premium: The agreed $27.00 per-share consideration for Calavo represents a 26% premium to Calavo’s 30-day VWAP, which introduces uncertainty about expected synergies or benefits needed to justify the premium within the agricultural/food markets.
