Don’t overlook this undervalued synergy!
British American Tobacco already has existing deals with both Charlottes Web Holdings $CWBHF and Organigram Holdings $OGI… There are a few possibilities for how BAT could leverage its partnerships with both companies:
Joint Investment: BAT, Charlottes Web, and Organigram could collaborate on a joint venture or even a merger (depending on regulations) to create a larger cannabis and CBD company. This would require significant planning and navigating potential regulatory hurdles.”
Market Expansion: BATs global reach could be valuable for both Charlottes Web and Organigram. BAT could help them enter new markets where cannabis or CBD products are legal. For example, BAT might leverage its existing distribution channels for these products.
Knowledge Sharing: BAT could act as a bridge between the two companies, facilitating knowledge sharing and best practices in areas like marketing, regulatory compliance, and cultivation techniques.
