Why is this atm put twice as much as the call?
The stock is BYND. It's put has been costing twice as much as the call ... roughly 10.85 and 5.00 respectively at the moment. What could cause this. I should also point out that the stock is up 5 percent after hours, so whoever bought this put doesn't seem to be doing to well.

You appear to be talking about the 0 put and call expiring January 17. The option prices you cite were as of the regular market close, when BYND was trading around 4. Thus, these were not at-the-money (ATM) options and it is no surprise that the put was priced higher than the call. After hours, as you note, BYND climbed to around 0, but the options did not continue to trade and so those quotes became stale.
