$SGMD Chart Flashing Multiple Major Signals SimultaneouslySGMD shares have turned a critical corner in the past two months, breaking a long-term bear trendline, finding a clear basing pattern of support, and shifting overall trend direction.
Shares now rest on key support at the 200-day MA (green line) as RSI sits at the 40 bull signal print and company starts talking about verticalizing its cannabis operations.
SGMD has built a successful cannabis delivery business in California, posting huge growth last year, quickly racing into the millions of dollars in annualized revenues. And now it appears to be working toward verticalizing its operations to drive wider margins through supply chain control.
Sugarmade Inc (OTCMKTS:SGMD) most recently put out a corporate update focused on information about the recent opening of its new Nug Avenue cannabis delivery operation, which is located in the large and rapidly growing Los Angeles metro cannabis marketplace.
“We are moving forward with our core strategic plan, as announced and discussed during 2020, which consists of expanding our end-market access as a central player in the growing California cannabis delivery marketplace and developing our cannabis production capacity to verticalize our operations in the space,” noted Jimmy Chan, CEO of Sugarmade. “The successful opening of our LA delivery hub is an exciting development with strong topline growth implications given the scale of that market and our strong positioning there. And our focus on developing a vertically integrated supply chain represents continued progress toward pushing more of that growth to the bottom line, which we believe is the most effective path to directly rewarding shareholders.”
According to the release, Sugarmade recently acquired a 70% stake in the operations of Nug Avenue, which serves as a major hub for cannabis delivery services in the Los Angeles metropolitan area. Nug Avenue has been open and operating with Sugarmade involved for the past four weeks, and the results have exceeded management expectations thus far.
The company also noted that it is actively pursuing acquisition of property zoned for cannabis cultivation and establishment of large-scale cannabis cultivation and production operations. As described in prior communications, Sugarmade intends to develop a full farm-to-door vertically integrated cannabis business.
Chan added, “Verticalization is an important step because it carries the potential to significantly widen margins. We have taken concrete steps in support of our goal of verticalization and expect significant additional movement toward that goal before the June 30th fiscal year end.”
In other words, big news could be coming soon from Sugarmade Inc (OTCMKTS:SGMD) that bears directly on this premise.

Sugarmade Places On Hold Reverse Split, Plans To Enter Regulated Cannabis Market
One of the most underappreciated cannabis stocks in 2020 is Sugarmade Inc (OTCMKTS:SGMD), a rapidly growing force in California’s vertically integrated cannabis space.
The company has become a leader in the cannabis delivery marketplace and is quickly working to glom together an internal vertical that solves costs
associated with supply chain dynamics in an industry that penalizes companies unable to fuse cost structures to a vertical supply solution.
Based on recent company communications, we could see coming announcements that present such a solution.

Bullish Catalysts for SGMD:
While many businesses are seeing coronavirus downturns, cannabis delivery service companies are seeing boom times
Despite reported issues within California’s regulated cannabis industry, positive changes have occurred as regulators work to improve the system
As black-market operators are driven out of the market, a need for legal operators is created
Sacramento population—as California’s third-largest metropolitan area at 2.4 million people—shows growing acceptance of cannabis use and delivery
Strategic investment in Hempistry, allowing Sugarmade shareholders to possibly benefit from a relationship with industrial-hemp cultivation companies
The global industrial hemp market size was estimated at USD $4.71 billion in 2019 and is expected to register a revenue-based CAGR of 15.8% over forecast period 2016-2027
Led by experienced team of executives instrumental in successfully growing multiple business operations
SGMD Sees Big Time Sales/Revenue Growth
SGMD released fresh performance data following the conclusion of another strong month in July, which featured over $660K in total BudCars gross sales ($537K, net of sales taxes), representing 32% sequential monthly top-line growth, with both total sales and gross profits growing by more than 30% m/m for the fourth consecutive month. *
Total July BudCars gross sales of $662,836 ($537,591, net of sales taxes), representing 32% month-over-month sales growth (compared to June 2020 sales) *
Total July BudCars gross profits of $310,489, representing 36% month-over-month gross profit growth (compared to June 2020 gross profits) *
Average daily gross sales increased 32% m/m to $22,095 *
Total customer tickets increased 33% m/m to 5,579 *
Calendar Q3 now on pace to potentially more than double calendar Q2 total BudCars sales“
Last month featured strong growth in basically every major metric once again for our BudCars segment,” stated Jimmy Chan, CEO of Sugarmade. “We saw an increase in gross margins while demonstrating another breakout month-over-month performance on both the top and bottom line.”Management notes that July data demonstrate similar second-derivative characteristics to trends witnessed in May and June data for BudCars, with sharp sequential monthly gains in topline sales, pricing, margins, average daily sales, and total customer tickets.
This duration of this continued strong growth curve continues to suggest that the Company is executing well in customer acquisition both among new conversions to delivery cannabis dispensation and market share grab – i.e., “stealing” customers from competitors and maintaining those new customers. Overall, July performance was well above the Company’s forecast model across every tracked metric.
This process will inform the Company’s modeling and expectations as it launches two LA BudCars hubs in coming weeks. Chan added, “Note that April was our first full month operating Budcars. In July we more than doubled the sales and gross profits booked in April. That pace of growth suggests another potential doubling by October on a per-location basis. And we will be operating additional locations by then, which will serve to compound that growth.
CEO's Letter to Shareholders Paints Bright Future for SGMD
This is an exciting moment in the history of Sugarmade. We have assembled the building blocks of a coherent and cohesive strategic vision, and we are more grateful than ever for your continued patience, commitment, and support as we put in motion key next steps to manifest that vision and drive strong and sustained shareholder value as a key emerging leader in the California cannabis marketplace.
Today, I want to highlight two themes that will help to drive our value proposition for shareholders over the intermediate term: geographic expansion for BudCars and our move to vertically integrate through the establishment of cultivation operations. Together, they represent tangible catalysts driving both top and bottom line growth.
As you may be aware, we have been working to expand the scope, scale, and reach of BudCars, a rapidly growing leader in the California cannabis delivery space – where we hold a 40% stake, with an option to take a controlling 70% stake, and where we are actively engaged in strategic and operational execution of the business.
BudCars has demonstrated dramatic growth over the past 6-8 months, consistently surpassing our modeled expectations as customer acquisition and per-order volumes have powered organic growth within the geographic reach of the BudCars delivery zone in the Sacramento metropolitan area in Northern California. However, to fuel the next phase of our overarching vision, we must begin to expand our geographic reach.
Today, I have good news: that expansion is officially underway. We are expanding BudCars initially into the North San Francisco Bay Area and the Wine Country Counties. That will be followed by our grand opening of BudCars Los Angeles, which we anticipate now will take place sometime in November.
The initial move into the North Bay Wine Country area is ripe with potential. Recent data covering cannabis-related tax receipts from Sonoma County suggest the area is experiencing a cannabis boom, with growth of over 35%, according to a North Bay Business Journal report.
As we begin to see tourism return in the wake of the global pandemic health crisis, we anticipate this region to represent one of the strongest bets as well, and we are excited about positioning BudCars to capitalize on that growth trend.
Expansion in the North Bay Wine Country area will be a key driver for BudCars because it represents more than a doubling of our total delivery territory, with the newly added delivery radius focused on a strong and rapidly growing region.
That expansion move will be quickly followed by our BudCars LA grand opening, which, as noted above, we expect to take place next month. Los Angeles is an enormous market for cannabis sales. It stands as perhaps the largest metropolitan cannabis marketplace on the planet. And we will be thrilled to see BudCars lay down roots and start taking market share in the area.
Finally, we are also excited about building our cultivation presence. As noted in recent Company communications, we have secured a property zoned for cannabis cultivation, and we are currently working with regulators to move forward with the property. This move will function to widen our margins on BudCars sales as well as to position Sugarmade to capitalize on growing demand in a chronically undersupplied marketplace. Because of our access to end-market consumers through our BudCars distribution channel, we will also have an advantage over other cultivators in establishing a branded line of cannabis products, further supporting widening margins at each point in the chain.
These are exciting times for Sugarmade. We have a rapidly growing business, and we are taking concrete steps now to build on that growth. Once again, we are very grateful to our committed base of support, and I look forward to keeping you engaged as we continue to make new strides and reach new milestones.
Best Regards,
Jimmy Chan, CEO
SGMD's Diversified Portfolio
Sugarmade has positive market exposure to cannabis delivery, as well as to the restaurant industry, at a time when these businesses are being force to move toward take-out and delivery models in order to survive.
The company has various business operations in diverse marketplaces, including food, safe packaging and sanitary supplies for various industries, and agricultural supplies. Sugarmade entered the industrial hemp and CBD space by investing in Hempistry, Inc., a privately held Nevada corporation. Hempistry began planting an ultra-high cannabidiol (CBD) industrial hemp strain on a land option it holds on 5,000 acres of prime Kentucky farmland. The strain of industrial hemp being grown by Hempistry is ultra-rich in CBD but contains less than 0.3% of THC, the psychoactive ingredient found in cannabis.
CarryOutSupplies.com, the leader in paper and plastic take-out supplies, serves nationwide customers by offering a wide array of high-quality products that are cost-efficient, custom-made and delivered on time. This business unit currently serves 2,000 quick service restaurants, garnering from 30%-40% of the market share. Sugarmade plans to expand operations via the addition of market share and the introduction of new product offerings.
The Coronavirus Cannabis Boom Market
Retailers across the nation are closing their doors and curtailing operations due to the coronavirus pandemic, inherently pinching sales. In the California cannabis sector, however, business has never been better – especially relative to home delivery.
California’s cannabis industry continues to operate, and media reports reveal booming cannabis sales as the state’s citizens stay home to wait out current events. The Los Angeles Times recently published the headline, “Marijuana Sales on Fire amid Virus Outbreak; New York Post “Cannabis sales hit new highs”; USA Today “American Stock Up on Pot” Fox News “California marijuana sales surge”; and ABC News Cannabis Shops thrive in coronavirus pandemic.
The state of California benefits from the ultra-high taxes paid by the highly regulated cannabis industry, and has thus deemed cannabis companies as “essential” businesses, allowing for full operations to continue. While pot shops are seeing strong foot traffic, the real growth action is in-home delivery as consumers seek to embrace social distancing. Many delivery operators are reporting difficulty in meeting demand with sales growth of up to 10% sequentially each week. It is certainly a boom time for the industry.
SGMD's Growth Strategy
Recognizing new investment and operational opportunities within California’s cannabis market, Sugarmade is strategizing to take advantage of opportunity specifically in delivery services (non-storefront retailer), manufacturing via co-branding, and selective genetic cultivation. The company is taking a highly selective approach, targeting only the best of these opportunities for company growth.
In line with this strategy is northern California delivery service Budcars, in which Sugarmade owns a 40% interest and an option to gain a controlling interest. Budcars connects consumers with premium products sourced from top-tier farms and extractors, offering a curated menu of fully compliant cannabis products. The company maintains a competitive advantage by sourcing premium cannabis offerings and same-day delivery. In addition to maintaining its own cars, California licenses, and fulfillment center, Budcar orders its premium products in bulk at lower prices, enabling the company to rein in costs and maintain competitive pricing for its customers. Currently serving major communities within the metropolitan area of Sacramento, Budcars plans to continue the expansion of the company’s delivery reach.
Sugarmade plans to continue its expansion into burgeoning new sectors of the cannabis market through the following avenues:
Geographic expansion of Budcars delivery scope
New delivery geographies
Cannabis cultivation as a key component of a hybrid vertical integration strategy
Product technology expansion—including products containing exotic and lesser-known cannabinoids
Market Outlook:
There is little doubt among industry participants, and recently confirmed by Forbes, that California is the single largest cannabis market in the world. The state is expected to produce more than $3.5 billion in cannabis sales during 2020, with growth topping 23% annually. The global industrial hemp market size was estimated at $4.71 billion in 2019 and is expected to register a revenue-based CAGR of 15.8% over the forecast period of 2016-2027, according to Grandview Research. Market growth drivers include the 2018 Farm Bill and society’s increasing knowledge of the benefits of hemp products.
Overall industry growth is great, but specific vertical sector growth is even better. Cannabis delivery is clearly the fastest growing sector of the marketplace and with coronavirus fears the already robust growth rate has accelerated.
Sugarmade seems to be in the right industry at the right time in history.

About Sugarmade, Inc.
Sugarmade, Inc. (SGMD) is a product and branding marketing company investing in operations and technologies with disruptive potential. The Company is becoming a leading supplier to the growing hemp industry and is benefitting from the growth of the hydroponic marketplace. The Company is in the process of acquiring several leading hydroponic and agricultural supply companies that are currently producing in excess of $70 million in annual revenues. Sugarmade is also an investor in fast growing Hempistry, Inc., a Kentucky-based cultivator, operates Carryoutsupplies.com a leader provider to the quick service restaurant industry and Zenhydro.com a leading supplier in the online hydroponic industry.
SGMD has plans to uplist to a major US exchange by mid-year 2020 while moving toward another targeted acquisition. Based on the strategy the Company has laid out, management believes Sugarmade will be on track to reach excess of $65 million annualized revenues.
“We have an ambitious plan to create a viable path toward another major acquisition while extending our stepwise climb onto a major US exchange listing as we continue to expand operations in a rapidly growing market,” stated Jimmy Chan, CEO of Sugarmade. “The key steps that will facilitate this evolutionary process are a 14C filing and leveraging our superior market positioning in current and forthcoming negotiations, both of which are readily accessible and attainable ideas.”
Company Highlights
Strategic investment in Hempistry, allowing Sugarmade shareholders to possibly benefit from relationship with industrial-hemp cultivation company
Industrial hemp market in the U.S. projected to reach over $1 billion in revenues in 2018 with an expected 14% CAGR through 2022
Sugarmade is one of the largest, publicly traded hydroponic supply companies investing in the legal cultivation sector
Expansion into European hydroponics supply market to provide additional revenue growth opportunities
Led by experienced team of executives instrumental in successfully growing multiple business operations
Key Acquisition To Add Estimated $37M In Revenue Annually
SGMD closed on its acquisition of BZRTH Inc., a marketer and manufacturer of hydroponic growth supplies, on Oct. 30, 2019, for roughly 1x revenue, integrating an annualized $33 million in revenues and an EBITDA margin of 5%, with revenues anticipated to continue to grow over coming quarters.
The acquisition will position Sugarmade to book all revenues from both entities, creating a combined entity that, based on most-recent financial estimates, stands to produce $37 million in annual sales and positive cash flow and EBITDA, resulting in Sugarmade becoming one of the largest publicly traded companies in this fast growing sector.
“After months of negotiations, we now have robust terms set into place that represent enormous value for Sugarmade shareholders,” commented Jimmy Chan, CEO of Sugarmade. “This acquisition, in itself, will dramatically augment the Company’s top and bottom line numbers and massively expand our overall presence in the booming hydroponics and hemp ecommerce space. Further, it also represents the central piece of our overarching roll-up strategy to position Sugarmade as the dominant pick-and-shovel entity on the hydroponics side catering to producers in the explosive market for hemp and hemp-related crops in North America.”
Management notes the investment boom in the production of raw hemp and hemp-related crops has tightened margins for growers through a massive expansion in the sheer number of producers. This process is driving an associated boom in the market for goods and services that improve efficiency in producing these crops as producers compete for market share and return on invested capital. Sugarmade and other companies in the hydroponic supplies markets are perhaps the most natural beneficiaries of this dynamic due to the ability to maximize output relative to inputs – invested capital, time, energy, and resources.
According to multiple sources, the global market for hydroponic and hemp cultivation supplies will remain robust for many years. For example, Maximize Market Research, PVT. LTD. recently forecasted the worldwide market during 2017 at US$26.6 billion and forecasts the market to reach US$37.7 Billion by 2026. Sugarmade has dedicated itself to becoming the dominant supplier in North America for products that address this need.
To effect this strategy, the Company places paramount importance on dominating the ecommerce side of the hydroponics market. The BZRTH acquisition will accompany its existing Master Marketing Agreement with BizRight, LLC, the sister company to BZRTH, whereby the Company will be able to vertically integrate ecommerce through ZenHydro.com (and several additional hydroponics ecommerce sales portals) with a 55,000 sq. ft. fulfillment center and a market leading logistics platform, resulting in an entity operating in a leadership position as a hydroponics equipment provider to the soaring North American hemp and hemp-related cultivation marketplace.
Mr. Chan continued, “With this acquisition, we believe Sugarmade has entered into a “best of all worlds” situation. It is clear that the hydroponics market is growing fast, as is the hemp marketplace. Additionally, the ecommerce sector is booming. Sugarmade and BZRTH capture growth from all of these market sectors and combine these with what is already stellar growth coming from BZRTH. We are pleased to announce today that since inception, the operations we are acquiring have grown astonishingly over 40% compound annual growth rate. Of course, this compares very favorably to the ecommerce sector, which grew at 15% last year and the overall retail market, which grew at only 3.9%. We cannot think of a better market in which to continue our expansion.”
SGMD Unveils Plans To Uplist To The NASDAQ Or NYSE Before Mid-Year 2020
Late last month, SGMD provided an update as the Company moves toward an uplisting of shares onto a major US exchange following news that Sugarmade’s direct competitor, GrowGeneration Corp. (GRWG) (“GrowGen”), announced on Monday, Nov. 25, that its shares have been approved for listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market ("NASDAQ").
Following its acquisition of BZRTH, Inc. (“BZRTH”), and another acquisition to be announced in the near future, management believes that Sugarmade is very similar to GrowGen in terms of market segment, scale of operations, and financial performance metrics (on an overall, consolidated basis). As a result, the Company believes GrowGen’s move onto the Nasdaq is a very promising signal for Sugarmade as the Company prepares to uplist its own shares.
“The approval of GrowGen shares for the move up onto the Nasdaq market is a great sign for Sugarmade as we prepare to make a similar move,” commented Jimmy Chan, CEO of Sugarmade. “It’s a positive signal about the hydroponics market and about our overall strategy. It’s time for institutional investors to get heavily involved in the pick-and-shovel ancillary markets surrounding the hemp and hemp-related boom. GrowGen has done a great job, and we are hot on their tail right now, and plan to surpass them in the race to number one in the hydroponics space.”
The Company recently completed its acquisition of BZRTH. Including sales brought in by the acquisition, the Company has already booked over $26 million in revenues on a year-to-date basis. The Company anticipates this number to swell to $32 million on sequential strengthening in gross margins and sales into year end. The Company is also in the process of another major M&A transaction that will significantly further boost overall forward financial projections for 2020. Further details will follow soon.
Mr. Chan continued, “Let’s not forget why GrowGen and Sugarmade are both seeing such a strong wave of growth. The market for cultivation of hemp and hemp-related crops is growing at an astounding pace. But supply has caught up with demand, and margins are tightening fast for producers. Hydroponics is a core part of the solution for those producers. Growth is moving from cultivators to ancillary products and services catering to those cultivators. And we are committed to a leadership position as this dynamic continues to unfold.”
The total market capitalization of the Nasdaq Exchange currently stands at $10 trillion U.S. dollars, representing the second largest exchange in the world in terms of market capitalization for shares traded.
Recent Developments
Sugarmade Targets Additional Acquisitions in Hydroponics Roll-Up Strategy
Two weeks ago, SGMD announced that they will continue to pursue an aggressive M&A roll-up strategy as it positions Sugarmade as the dominant entity in the hydroponics marketplace. Specifically, the Company is currently in preliminary talks with six hydroponic and agricultural supply targets in the U.S. and central Europe.
Management notes that ideal targets should have an EBITDA margin of at least 8%. The Company prefers to pay a reasonable multiple to revenue, with 10% in cash and 90% in stock for potential acquisitions, with precise terms dependent on market conditions. Sugarmade closed on its acquisition of BZRTH Inc., a marketer and manufacturer of hydroponic growth supplies, on Oct. 30, 2019, for roughly 1x revenue, integrating an annualized $33 million in revenues and an EBITDA margin of 5%, with revenues anticipated to continue to grow over coming quarters.
Sugarmade CEO, Jimmy Chan, noted, “We continue to position Sugarmade as a dominant entity in a market that promises aggressive growth as margins tighten for larger producers in the hemp and hemp-related space. The return on investment in this space is extremely appealing right now, and we believe that will continue to be the case as we pursue this strategy.”
In addition, the Company intends to revive its October 2018 Letter of Intent (“LOI”) to pursue the acquisition of Sky Unlimited (dba Athena United), a supplier of cannabis cultivation materials in the near term. Sugarmade plans to close the deal in Q1 2020. Sky Unlimited has annualized revenues of $33 million to $35 million and EBITDA margin of 11%.
Chan continued, “When we close the Sky Unlimited acquisition, we expect to have around $70 million in annualized revenues.”
Management notes that this strategy is also predicated on a planned uplisting to either the New York Stock Exchange or the Nasdaq before mid-year 2020.
Chan concluded, “The capital market is valuing publicly-traded hemp ancillary companies at 3x-5x revenue, while most of these companies are in the red. GrowGeneration just started trading on Nasdaq a few days ago with a market cap of $172 million. Our financial performance is tracking in a very similar profile at a discount of $160 million. We are targeting shareholder value and believe we have a strategy in place that offers a tremendous path forward.”
Market Outlook
According to recent research from Mordor Intelligence, the Global Hydroponics Market was valued at $24 billion in 2018 and is expected to register strong growth over coming years. Maximize Market Research also forecasts a coming boom in this market space, driving total annual sales from $26.6 billion in 2017 to $37.7 billion by 2026.
According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, farm production within the United States is expected to fall an additional 6.7% this year on top of already weak market over the past few years. These reductions will likely result in the overall U.S. agricultural production for 2019 being the lowest since 2006. Prices for the commodities that are being produced are also at near record levels. One of the few bright spots in the agricultural sector is industrial hemp, which became legal via the December passage of the U.S. Farm bill. Estimates for hemp production for the 2019 season continue to be revised upward, with major hemp producing states, such as Colorado, Kentucky, Oregon, North Dakota, and others, reporting sharp increases in both cultivation applications and expected acreages. Arcview Market Research, is now predicting the market for Cannabidiol (CBD), which is mainly derived from hemp, will surpass $20 billion by year 2020. Hemp and its by products are growing fast and are one of the few bright spots in the agricultural sector.
Technical Analysis
We've done our very own chart analysis on SGMD, and see the potential for a double-digit move from today's alert price.
Just like many of our past winners, SGMD is sitting on a bottom'd out chart, and appears to have nowhere to go but up.
SGMD has yet to close under $0.01 all year, and we don't see that happening any time soon.
We believe that SGMD's upside potential far outweighs any downside risk at this entry point.
A run back to its 52-week high of $0.13 would show traders a +1,081% ROI!
The Bottom Line
SGMD appears to be a steal at this price.
The Company has consistent revenue growth, is trading under book value, and has uplisting aspirations.
This looks likes a clear cut winner from all angles.
We are extremely bullish on SGMD, and urge all of our members to start their research now, and add it to the top of their watchlist immediately.
