Kush Bottles Inc (OTCMKTS:KSHB) stock has been advancing nicely on the strength of the company’s positioning as a premier packaging supplier, offering certified child-resistant and custom-branded solutions in all states that permit medical or recreational cannabis use. KSHB stock has been one of the top performers in the cannabis-related space. In addition, the company just reported record revenues over $8M in fiscal year 2016 (ended August 31), representing year-over-year growth of 105%, so that performance is well earned.
In all, we’ve witnessed about 110% in gains since early September. Shares of KSHB stock have a history of dramatic rallies. Moreover, the listing has registered increased average transaction volume recently, with the past month seeing approaching 320% above the average volume levels in play in this stock over the longer term. This is particularly important with a float in play that’s limited — barely over 14M shares. Traders should not overlook this combination, as a mechanically driven price squeeze can result from this type of mix of small float and ramping attention from traders.

“We are very pleased with the revenue growth we saw in all markets in 2016,” said Nick Kovacevich, CEO of Kush Bottles. “We’re excited to continue to push hard in these existing markets in 2017, and to take advantage of the many new markets that may emerge if more states vote to legalize.”
“We are thrilled with our performance in 2016, and we are already executing on plans to build and invest for the future. Colorado, Washington, Oregon and Alaska are just the tip of the iceberg,” said Ben Wu, President of Kush Bottles. “We are committed to continuous development of our organization and infrastructure to accommodate future market growth.”
“We’ve really focused this past year on increasing the efficiency and scalability of the business and the reduction in our operating expenses as a percentage of revenue shows we are succeeding,” said Chris Martin, CFO of Kush Bottles. “We plan to continue to create new efficiencies where possible so we can get more out of the resources we have.”
Kush Bottles stands out in this space as a legitimate player for the longer-term. Currently trading at a market capitalization of $194.3M, KSHB has a decent store ($354.25k) of cash on the books, alongside total assets just under $4.8M, which stands against an appreciable load ($304.44k) of total accumulated debt.
