Charlotte's Web stock was ignited after the company announced the Kroger deal last week. Shares surged almost 42% on the news, but come Tuesday, August 6, they corrected. CWBHF stock has since fallen back to $19.85 USD at the time of writing.
Despite a hugely volatile market of recent weeks that caused a significant sell-off in May, Charlotte's Web stock has still managed to pack on a massive 73% year-to-date.
There's a reason this stock remains high on the one-to-watch list. Distribution.
Charlotte's Web Stock and Distribution
The Kroger deal was not only a nice boost for the Charlotte's Web Holdings (TSX:CWEB) (OTCQX:CWBHF), but it also gave the entire sector something to shout about. Was it a coincidence that the marijuana index rose roughly 5% in the same period?
But that aside, the Kroger (NYSE:KR) news signaled the beginning of sales for "Charlotte’s Web products in multiple states with a plan to roll out to a total of 1,350 store locations in 22 states.”
Now, the company has a massive reach for its line of CBD-infused tinctures, roll-ons, capsules, and creams; its products are on sale at more than 8,000 retail locations across 22 states in the US. These include some of the US's biggest retail brands, such as Walmart (NYSE:WMT) and Target (NYSE:TGT).

Now with Kroger added to the list, investors are obviously anticipating huge sales from this huge distribution footprint.
And then there's the potential deal with Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN). Yes, Charlotte's Web has reportedly been in talks with the e-commerce giant.
If those talks amount to a significant distribution deal, you can bet that Charlotte's Web stock will skyrocket on that potential.
This year alone has seen Charlotte’s Web Holdings add more than 4,650 retail locations; its presence has more than doubled.
As it expands its reach, the company has also expanded its product line. Now it has a line of CBD gummies as well as an oil suitable for dogs.
