Research Report

Share on Stocktwits

The Quick Take

  • ROTH Capital has a Buy rating and a CA$4.50 per share price target on Charlotte's Web Holdings.
  • ROTH ranks Charlotte's Web Buy on news of the company signing an agreement with GNC for the nutritional products retailers to distribute six varieties of Charlotte's Web CBD gummies in 24 states.
  • Through this agreement, "GNC materially broadens Charlotte's Web's consumer access while rapidly becoming one of its largest retail customers," wrote ROTH analyst Scott Fortune in a Jan. 18 research note.
  • GNC has 2,000 locations throughout the U.S. along with domestic and international franchises.
  • Expanding customer access to its CBD products remains the key driver for Charlotte's Web this year.
  • Charlotte's Web's new CEO Jacques Tortoroli is reorganizing the company into a horizontal structure and plans to tie compensation more to equity growth.
  • Tortoroli's new initiatives to drive topline growth, reduce costs and make Charlotte's Web cash flow positive this year include:
    • Enhancing the consumer experience online to boost e-commerce revenues.
    • Employing new social media marketing strategies.
    • Expanding sales in targeted channels.

To increase revenue and become cash flow positive in 2022, Charlotte's Web Holdings Inc. (CWEB:CSE; CWBHF:OTCQX) is reorganizing and implementing several programs, reported ROTH Capital Partners analyst Scott Fortune.

A primary focus of the firm this year is on expanding consumer access to its CBD products, and the GNC distribution agreement helps it do that by boosting its U.S. consumer retail channel. Also with the agreement comes an expansion opportunity, to have Charlotte's Web gummies and potentially other products in GNC's 2,000 locations.

"The GNC partnership is an excellent fit to expand Charlotte's Web's addressable market, targeting health and fitness consumers through a leading global health and wellness retailer," Fortune added.

Other strategies of Charlotte's Web are to form additional partnerships and launch new products, in the U.S. and globally, the analyst noted.

Also, "given the positive passage of Assembly Bill 45 in California, we expect new distribution opportunities and ingestible product acceptance by retailers to provide expanded growth opportunities and new revenues streams over time," Fortune wrote.
