GWPH - Marijuana Stock GW Pharmaceuticals Delivers Rapid Growth In Q1
GW Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: GWPH) unveiled first-quarter financial results after the market closed on Monday, reporting revenue growth of 207% year over year to $120.6 million and a non-GAAP loss of $0.02 per share, which beat analysts expectations by $0.05 per share.
The biotech company's revenue growth was due to surging sales of Epidiolex, a purified formulation of cannabidiol, or CBD, the second most common chemical cannabinoid found in marijuana. Growing use of Epidiolex by patients with the rare epilepsy disorders Dravet syndrome and Lennox-Gastaut syndrome resulted in net product sales of $116.1 million in the first quarter, including $106.1 million in U.S. revenue.
