Hemp penny stocks began rebounding at the end of last week, but there was one stock, in particular, that rebounded stronger than its peers. CV Sciences Inc. (OTCQB:CVSI) was at the top of the list of hemp stocks, reporting a +133% growth in 2018. This morning, an analyst on Seeking Alpha released news that CV Sciences missed its projected revenue by -$0.7 million. Will it affect the price of CVSI today? Let's find out!
CV Sciences Full 2018 Earnings
CV Sciences brought in a record revenue of $48.2 million in full 2018—an increase of +133% over 2017. The Las Vegas-based hemp company recorded a net income of $10 million. As of December 31st, 2018, CV Sciences had 2,238 retail and distribution stores. For the year, the hemp company generated $12.6 million in cash from its production and distribution operations.
Joseph Dowling, CEO of CV Sciences, states that the passing of the 2018 Farm Bill was likely the cause of the spike in demand for CBD products. Dowling claims the hemp-based company is seeing "significant new interest from nearly all channels of distribution." In 2019, the hemp penny stock plans on positioning its company to capitalize on the incremental growth opportunity in the North American hemp space with its drug development program.
