Stocks in the News: KAVL, GEMS.CN / TLOOF, THRM.V/TBRIF SWISF, HENC, PBIO, PM

One of the more important things that investors need to keep in mind when navigating the markets is the fact that news has a major effect on price movements. Hence, it is naturally important to be abreast of all that is happening with companies in order to have an idea about the fortunes of the stock. In recent days, many stocks have come into the news owing to strong upward moves or significant news with regard to the underlying companies. This article is going to give you a look at six such stocks.

Kaival Brands Innovations Group Inc (NASDAQ:KAVL) – Another company that has been in focus lately is Kaival Brands Innovations Group Inc, which currently has considerable international expansion plans owing to its distribution deal with Philip Morris International (NYSE:PM). In addition to that, the judicial stay on the MDO on its products had also helped Kaival Brands considerably as it ended up clocking higher revenues in the third fiscal quarter than in the previous quarter.

the company managed to bring in revenues of $3.8 million for the quarter and that was a significant improvement on the $3.2 million in revenues that it had earned in the prior year period. This topped analysts’ estimates by $0.35 million.

The Company expects revenue to go up as renewed distribution ramps up and sales of non-tobacco flavored BIDI® Sticks increase, particularly in light of the 11th Circuit Court’s positive ruling in Bidi Vapor’s favor in the merits-based case, subject to the FDA’s decision on next steps in the merits case and the FDA’s enforcement discretion in general.

The gross profits for the third quarter stood at $442,100 and that was again an improvement on the $84,300 that it had generated in gross profits in the prior year period.
