High Tide’s NuLeaf Naturals Targets Role in New U.S. Medicare CBD Pilot

End of Quarter Sale - 50% Off TipRanks

High Tide ( (TSE:HITI) ) just unveiled an update.

High Tide’s U.S. hemp-derived CBD subsidiary NuLeaf Naturals is moving to participate in a new U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Innovation Center pilot that allows certain Medicare-focused organizations to provide eligible hemp-derived CBD products to beneficiaries at no cost. With cGMP-certified, FDA-registered facilities and a portfolio of THC-free and broad-spectrum CBD products tailored to program rules, NuLeaf aims to supply Accountable Care Organizations and oncology practices taking part in the Beneficiary Engagement Incentive initiative.

Management says NuLeaf’s readiness and existing role in the National Compassionate Care Council give it an advantageous position as CMS seeks real-world data on CBD therapies in physician-guided care. If the pilot scales and potentially expands to additional CMS models over time, High Tide expects it could become a meaningful growth driver for its U.S. CBD business while advancing the integration of hemp-derived cannabinoid products into federally supported healthcare frameworks.

The most recent analyst rating on (TSE:HITI) stock is a Hold with a C$3.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on High Tide stock, see the TSE:HITI Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on HITI Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, HITI is a Neutral.

The score is primarily held back by weak profitability and elevated leverage despite improving operating/free cash flow, alongside bearish technical signals (below major moving averages with negative MACD). A high P/E further weighs on the outlook given ongoing net losses.
