WeedMD Stock Helped By Strong Results

WeedMD stock has been a curious performer over the course of the last 12 months; having made gains of over 110% at the beginning of the year, the company's shares swung as much as 25% at times as the market stalled over summer. However, we included WeedMD Inc in our pick of pot penny stocks to watch in September because of its impressive quarterly results and big ambitions for its future operations.

WeedMD stock was boosted at the end of August after the company reported its Q2 results, which included a 139% quarter-over-quarter net revenue increase. Gross profit of $3.7 million represented a 46% margin, compared to 15% in the previous quarter. WeedMD also sold nearly 2,000 kilograms of dried cannabis product, which was a 150% quarterly increase. With the substantial increase in production capacity from the inaugural outdoor harvest, don't be surprised if this pot stock posts even better results come its next earnings call.
