Buda Juice Inc. announced the pricing of its initial public offering of 2,666,667 shares of common stock at $7.50 per share, raising $20 million in gross proceeds before underwriting discounts and offering expenses.
The Dallas-based company has granted the underwriter a 45-day option to purchase up to 400,000 additional shares at the offering price to cover over-allotments. Shares are expected to begin trading on the NYSE American exchange under the ticker symbol "BUDA" on January 8, 2026, with the offering expected to close on January 9, 2026.
Buda Juice plans to use the net proceeds to develop and build production plants in South Carolina and Arizona or Nevada, expand capacity at its Dallas production plant, support in-store marketing and provide working capital for expansion.
"Today marks an important milestone for our company and the growth of the UltraFresh™ juice category," said Horatio Lonsdale-Hands, CEO and Co-Founder of Buda Juice. "Thanks to the support of our loyal Buda Juice consumers, retail and club store customers, and our IPO investors, we can further our mission to make UltraFresh™ juices the new standard in grocery stores across the U.S."
MDB Capital acted as the underwriter for the offering. The company’s registration statement on Form S-1 was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 7, 2026.
Buda Juice describes itself as a pioneer in cold-crafted citrus juices for the supermarket fresh produce department, operating an end-to-end cold chain platform that maintains products at 35°F from fruit to shelf with an 8 to 12-day shelf life.
