Why is High Tide a Bounce Back Play?

High Tide is a potential bounce-back play in view of recent developments likely to strengthen the stock’s sentiments in the market. The company is fresh from reporting $441,000 in system-wide gross revenue for sales between April 19 and April 23, representing a 234% increase compared to the same three-day period last year.The sales were generated from the Company’s Canna Cabana branded stores in Alberta. The company also generated significant sales through its newly acquired Grass city e-commerce website

“It was incredible to make history by selling cannabis and accessories across Canada on the first 4/20 after the legalization of recreational cannabis for adult use. […] Other notable achievements on 4/20 were Sales of $72,000 at Canna Cabana Hamilton, $43,000 at Canna Cabana Sudbury and $39,000 on Grasscity.com,” stated CEO Raj Grover.

Expansion Drive

Buoyed by the sales growth, High tide is planning to open a third cannabis retail location in Yonge Street Toronto as it seeks to take advantage of the growing demand for cannabis products. In Alberta, the company operates 10 Canna Cabana branded retail stores and one franchise. It also boasts of 13 smoker’s Corner accessories shops across Alberta, Nova Scotia and British Columbia.High Tide is also in the process of completing two pending cannabis retail, business acquisitions. The acquisition drive should not face significant challenges, given that the balance sheet has received an $8.4 million boost, on the closing of a Convertible Debenture Offering.High Tide is planning to close a second and final tranche offering that could result in the gross proceeds of as much as $15 million, increased from $10 million on keen investor interest.

“The net proceeds of the Offering will be used by the Company to fund the construction of Canna Cabana, KushBar and Smoker's Corner stores, complete strategic acquisitions as well as for general working capital purposes,” High Tide in a statement.

What Next For High Tide
