GrowGeneration Boosts Profits and Expands Reach
GrowGeneration Corporation (GRWG) has reported a significant increase in its gross profit margin for the third quarter, rising from 26.5% to 29.4% year over year. This positive development comes as the company prepares to expand its footprint into Missouri, Illinois, Arizona, Pennsylvania, New York, and New Jersey.
The details of the expansion deals have not been disclosed yet. However, the acquisition of Horticultural Rep Group, a Utah-based marketing and sales company of horticultural products, is a strategic move that is expected to bolster GrowGeneration's growth prospects.
The acquisition seems to have boosted investor sentiment, as evidenced by the stock's 16.1% rise on Monday. Despite this, the overall analyst sentiment remains mixed, reflecting uncertainty in near-term earnings and broader industry conditions.

This figure is more than double its annual revenue in 2019 and 2020, combined.
Adjusted EBITDA through nine months was $36.3 million, up from $13.4 million in the same period in 2020. However, the stock is still down more than 36% this year, and the stock is down more than 81% over the past 12 months.
