RWB

Last week, Red White & Bloom Brands Inc. (OTCQX: RWBYF) delivered its fourth-quarter and full-year results, and today the company has delivered its first-quarter financial results. RWB said that the revenue for the first quarter was $11.8 million which fell from the fourth quarter’s revenue of $15.7 million. The company blamed the decrease as a result of the manner in which it recognizes revenue under IFRS in the state of Michigan for its Platinum Vape branded product sales and a decrease of approximately $1 million due to the strengthening Canadian dollar over the fourth quarter.

Turning Point

Turning Point Brands, Inc. (NYSE: TPB) reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2021 with sales increasing 16.8% to $122.6 million.

Bluebird

CBD company Bluebird Botanicals has acquired Precision Botanical, a science-driven CBD brand that is committed to providing purity, accuracy, and transparency for all of its CBD products. In addition to the acquisition, Bluebird has received a growth investment from Juggernaut Capital Partners, a lower middle-market private equity firm specializing in buyout and growth investments across the consumer and outsourced healthcare services industries. Bluebird said that Juggernaut’s investment will strengthen the combined company’s financial profile and provide it with the resources to fuel further innovation in the CBD space, accelerate growth online, and assist future expansion into new channels.

Morningstar

In Morningstar’s report from June titled “Buy American Cannabis Stocks Regardless of Federal Legalization”, the research firm believes cannabis investors should buy American and its top picks are Curaleaf (OTC: CURLF) and Green Thumb Industries (OTC: GTBIF). The analyst Kristoffer Inton acknowledges that the market seems to reward Canadian companies since the country is fully legal. However, he believes that American cannabis companies stand to experience revenue growth and rapid margin expansion even if federal legalization doesn’t happen. 

Stifel

Cannabis consumption rose during the height of the COVID crisis as anxiety and lockdowns prompted many to increase the amount consumed. According to a new survey by Stifel, it doesn’t look like consumers are going to return to pre-pandemic levels of use. This is good news for cannabis companies. The survey also determined that cannabis remains a resilient category despite increasing options for discretionary spending as people ease out of COVID restrictions. The research firm surveyed both U.S. and Canadian cannabis consumers and said it reinforced its opinion that the U.S. landscape looks positive while suggesting a mixed outlook for Canada.
