22nd Century - Hemp and hops: Two of our favorite things

22nd Century Group (XXII) is poised to benefit from a growing cannabis market and increased demand by cultivators for higher-yielding crops. The upcoming harvest, additional plant lines in 2022–23 and strategic partnerships should boost revenues and accelerate the commercialization of the company’s improved hemp/cannabis lines. Moreover, XXII’s recently announced entry into the less-regulated hops market significantly expands its total addressable market as it leverages its intellectual property (IP) and scale to increase product speed to market.
