United Cannabis Corp (OTCMKTS:CNAB) is a penny play in the cannabis space that has finally started move higher again. The catalysts driving the move can be attributed to CNAB securing strong capital resources and a series of key partnership arrangements that had us quite bullish on the name to start the year. The most recent catalyst was the company’s announcement that it, along with its Jamaica-based subsidiary, Cannabis Research & Development, has signed a Letter of Intent with the Caribbean Institute of Medical Research to collaborate on advancing clinical research on medical cannabis.
All in all, this is a very interesting play in the cannabis patch. United Cannabis Stock has been a central focus for traders in the space of late for two main reasons: they have access to capital well in excess of current obligations, and the top line is growing fast (y/y quarterly revenues growing at 98.4%). That story is augmented by the company’s recent announcement that Tangiers Global doubled its Fixed Funding Commitment from $5 million to up to $10 million.

We’ve witnessed 39% piled on for shareholders of the listing during the trailing week. This is emblematic of the stock. United Cannabis Stock has evidenced sudden upward volatility on many prior occasions. In addition, the company has witnessed a pop in interest, as transaction volume levels have recently pushed nearly 110% beyond its prior sustained average level.
It pays to take note of this fact with a float in play that’s relatively small — roughly 11M shares. This type of thing is something to watch out for: a jump in average daily transaction volume in a stock with a restricted float can unleash fireworks as supply is squeezed. Since we last covered the name, the stock has moved 30.8%.
Earning a current market cap value of $99M, CNAB has virtually no cash on the books, which compares with about $932K in total current liabilities. CNAB is pulling in trailing 12-month revenues of $735K. In addition, the company is seeing major top line growth, with y/y quarterly revenues growing at 98.4%.
