Deanie Elsner, CEO of Charlotte’s Web, had this to say about the CWBHF stock earnings:

“Second quarter revenue was below expectations due to the impact of COVID-19 on retail sales. However, our DTC sales increased 33.6%, largely offsetting declines in B2B retail sales. We made excellent progress building out our infrastructure and expanding our products portfolio with the closing of the Abacus acquisition.  Abacus CBD Medic™ products are now being sold through our online store and we look forward to realizing more cross-selling revenue synergies with Abacus through our FDM partners.”

Moreover, the company does not mention any sort of FY2020 guidance. However, we know what Wall Street is looking for. Analysts are calling for losses per share of 14 cents on revenue of $111.91 million.
