PURA - Puration CBD Beverage Business Receives Speculative Buy and $0.35 Target Recommendations in New Analyst Research Report

DALLAS, Sept. 25, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Puration, Inc. (USOTC: PURA) today announced a new research analyst report from Goldman Small Cap Research. Goldman originally published an extensive research report on PURA and the cannabis infused beverage industry one year ago followed by three subsequent updates to the original report.  The most recent update was published last week in conjunction with a CBD Beverage Industry Survey conducted to primarily review new CBD beverage products being introduced by PURA. The recent update confirmed Goldman's original research recommendations – a Speculative Buy and $0.25 target price. PURA has indeed traded at a 52-week high PPS of $0.25.  With the magnitude of changes within the overall CBD Beverage Industry over the last year combined with substantial growth and evolution of PURA's business, a new comprehensive study of the industry and the company was warranted. The investment recommendations from Goldman following the new detailed study reiterate a Speculative Buy and raise the target price to $0.35 per share.

"With PURA It Is About "New and More." New markets, plus new products, plus new opportunities, plus favorable future FDA regulations equal what we believe could be a doubling of sales next year to the $8M level. Thus, we raise our target price to $0.35, which reflects a preliminary 30x multiple on 2020E EBITDA. We reiterate our Speculative Buy rating."

The report addresses many dramatic changes in the overall CBD Beverage Industry ranging from the ever-evolving legalization of various aspects of the overall hemp and marijuana markets to the rapidly growing consumer awareness and acceptance of hemp and marijuana products.

Legalization Initiatives in The News Today Addressed In The Report:

"Senator Mitch McConnell has put the pressure on the FDA to expedite the path for lawful marketing of hemp-derived CBD products. His efforts could help unlock the current handcuffs and drive industry sales higher."

Consumer Awareness and Acceptance Statistics Found In The Report:

"-  Reports commented that 65 million Americans have tried CBDs with well over 60% finding the products to be effective 

-  CBD Users range in age from 18-65, with the majority of users in the 18-34 group

-  Consumers procure products to treat anxiety, insomnia, and joint pain/inflammation.

-  50% say they are more effective than OTC products.

-  84% of users proclaim they are very or extremely effective.

-  Consumers view these offerings as executing their personal health, and fitness needs."
