International Spirits & Wellness Holdings Inc. (OTCMKTS:ISWH) has is an extremely interesting sub-penny stock. If you are looking for distressed-asset type deep value in the CBD space, this is probably a stock to take a close look at. According to company materials, this could even be turning a profit on an EBITDA basis in Q3 with 4-digit percentage revenue growth. So, the tape is a perceptual issue. But it may be given the lie and some shorts may be punched in the face if we see some traction here.
As noted, the company’s Home Health Care segment is in a boom, demonstrating tangible financial performance in the space, leading to EBITDA profitability and 6,400% sales growth. That defines the company’s Q2 and Q3 of 2019. But Q4 is likely going to be defined by the company’s resumption of high volume sales of its P19 branded nano-infused CBD-based wellness products.
As noted in its most recent press release, after a period of reconfiguring its CBD supply chain and strategic relationship with BioPulse Labs, ISWH just announced that sales of its line of branded P19 CBD-Based Wellness products is resuming. This could put an enormous charge into the stock as investors start to look forward to a new narrative defined by profitability and strong growth heading into the final quarter of the year.
“Growth estimates for the overall CBD market are in the process of being revised sharply higher as mainstream consumer adoption dramatically outperforms prior baseline expectations for 2019,” commented Terry Williams, ISWH CEO. “It’s a perfect time for our diverse array of hemp-derived CBD products to resume live sales and distribution. This is a principle reason we have had to mark up our financial expectations heading into Q4.”
According to the company, ISWH is eager to restart sales given recent upward adjustments to forecasts for growth in CBD demand over coming quarters. Brightfield Group, a leading market and consumer intelligence firm for the legal CBD and cannabis industries, recently increased its own growth forecast for the CBD market, published analysis calling for a 706% year-over-year CBD product sales jump in the US in 2019 to around $5 billion in total sales, with sales expected to reach $23.7 billion by 2023.
