Look at some of the market’s recent game-changing plays:
Vitamin Shoppe (VSI) climbed 271%.
Early Herbalife (HLF) investors could have banked 1,723% profits.
Medifast (MED) netted early investors 23,614% gains!
RLBD could be the next wellness success story.
Because its products are in one of the fastest-growing segments…
RLBD’s CBD OPPORTUNITY
RLBD’s Phaze Sports is a CBD-based wellness brand for athletes. While the wellness market opportunity is enormous; the CBD industry is no slouch. It is expected to reach $20 billion by 2025.
CBD is the non-psychoactive ingredient derived from Cannabis and Hemp. Hemp has a higher CBD to THC ratio, which is why RLBD’s Phaze Sports products are hemp-based.
Phaze Sports has over 8 SKUs from Gummies to Tinctures to Oils, but that’s not all. RLBD controls several other consumer facing subsidiaries, including one for Cos’medic’s, Pets, and another for a broad CBD audience.
CBD has produced some major winners in the past few years. RLBD could follow in the footsteps of:
Trulieve Cannabis Corp. (TCNNF) earned investors 541% gains.
Canopy Growth (CGC) made its early investors 1,780% of bankable profit percentage.
Aurora Cannabis Inc. (ACB) was a major winner in the ‘budding’ industry, early investors could have grabbed 2,843% profits.
The segment most likely to produce a massive CBD winner?
CBD beverages.
The CBD beverage market recorded approximately $245 million in 2021 sales, which was a 50% improvement over 2020. The market is expected to reach a whopping $1.3 billion in 2026, representing a of 43% CAGR, very few industries grow at that rate.
Phaze Sports just released its CBD seltzer:
And in a recent interview, Kidrin noted he is “looking to acquire an established CBD seltzer beverage company.”
The CBD seltzer vertical could be a major catalyst that drives value in RLBD.
The popularity of seltzer among the fastest-growing demographic is part of why RLBD’s CBD seltzers are a perfect marriage of two fast-growing markets.
Nearly 70 percent of Gen Z respondents in a recent study claimed they had seltzer in the past year. In contrast, only 36.5 percent of respondents older in age than Millennials claimed the same.
Seltzer beverages will continue to take over the market. Their low-sugar, low-calorie profile is preferred by Gen Z, who is becoming the generation to watch for consumer product investors.
RLBD is well positioned to serve this demand.
RLBD HAS HUGE PROFIT POTENTIAL!
There’s so much to say about RLBD’s potential profit creating catalysts, and we continue with detailed due diligence below. However, if you’re ready to look at the chart on your trading platform right now, I wouldn’t blame you.
-RLBD is in a market growing to $6 TRILLION in size.
-One of its lead products is in a segment projected to grow 43% annually!
-RLBD’s Leadership is STACKED with experience in all phases.
-RLBD’s Largest Shareholder is a MONSTER potential partner in several LARGE deals.
-RLBD’s Uplist is Immenent COMPLETE…Meaning Major DEALS Could Be on the Horizon.
Diving Into The Turning Point Connection
Turning Point Brands being RLBD’s largest shareholder is huge. It is like a beverage company’s largest shareholder being PepsiCo or Coke. The potential for synergy and deals is massive and wide ranging.
Turning Point is a diverse manufacturer, marketer, and distributor of branded consumer products. Its product lines include well-known tobacco brands Zig Zag and Beechnut.
TPB has been updating its product line to include alternative smoking products such as a nicotine vapor line and a CBD line, Nu-X.
TPB continues to roll up new brands in the alternative smoking space…
TPB could become the majority owners of RLBD or even buy the company outright
RLBD owns Phaze Sports which boasts a full line of CBD/Hemp products for athletes. These range from CBD seltzers to gummies and topical creams. This would be an interesting turn for the company. By adding a brand like Phaze Sports, TPB would broaden its market overnight, and RLBD investors would most likely see a major payday in the form of TPB shares.
Turning Point Brands (TPB) just came out with quarterly earnings of $0.66 per share, beating most estimates.
According to Zacks, it represented an earnings surprise of 46.67%.
So they are flush with cash.
The only downside is the company’s earnings are still down from the same period last year, and while TPB’s classic brands performed well (Zig Zag, Stoker’s) the New Gen components underperformed.
This may be the ideal time for TPB to purchase a fast-growing next-generation brand that would broaden the company’s market like RLBD.
But even if this doesn’t happen, RLBD could still benefit from this shareholder in a big way.
RLBD could leverage the TPB distribution network which includes 210,000 retail locations and several B2B and B2C retail websites.
Distribution is generally one of, if not the, biggest hurdles facing up and coming brands like RLBD’s Phaze Sports.
Its TPB connection could be like a ‘cheat-code’ for RLBD’s mass distribution.
This could already be underway; Real Brands CEO Thom Kidrin recently said in an interview “In 2022, we plan to announce an international distribution arrangement.” as well as “brick-and-mortar sales with a major domestic distributor.”
The company could also leverage its marketing outlets to ease this distribution. Either way, any announcements around this would be a great sign for future revenues, and an immediate catalyst for the share price.
Even if these announcements don’t come within the calendar year perhaps the most immediate reason RLBD’s big backer could benefit shareholders is…
RLBD could leverage TPB’s capital and backers like Standard General to achieve non-dilutive M&A
RLBD CEO Thom Kidrin said in a recent interview, “I have 5 major deals waiting for us after the up list, once that is finalized, everything else can start. I can announce them.”
As I’m writing this, all the paperwork is in, meaning the up list to the QB is most likely complete by the time you read this… which means some of these deals could be announced extremely soon.
RLBD could be using TPB’s capital or potentially be announcing one of the above deals with the company, such as marketing or distribution.
“I have 5 major deals waiting for us after the up list, once that is finalized, everything else can start. I can announce them.”
RLBD CEO- Thom Kidrin
PHAZE SPORTS PRODUCTS
Some of Phaze Sports’ products
The Phaze Sports brand currently boasts 8 SKUs: CBD Seltzer, Hemp Chewing Gum, Hemp Gummies, Hemp Topical Patch, Hemp Recovery Cream, Hemp Immunity Tincture, Hemp Roll-On, and Hemp Beverage Drops…
Kidrin says the Phaze product line will grow to around 20 SKUs.
Phaze Sports has enormous potential to drive shareholder value for RLBD investors, however, it isn’t the only subsidiary that makes RLBD an attractive investment opportunity:
RLBD’s OTHER SUBSIDIARIES
American Standard Hemp
The company that RLBD acquired and brought CEO Thom Kidrin into the fold, American Standard Hemp is an early entrant into the hemp and CBD market. ASH has been around since 2017, the company sells CBD oils; a tincture, a pain gel, and a tincture for pets.
WA
WA means peace and harmony in Japanese. RLBD’s Wa ‘cosmedics’ brand leverages decades of scientific research to create creams, lotions and balms that bring calming and healing properties to the skin.
Zen Pets
Zen Pets is the company’s line of pet products formulated with zero-THC hemp extracts. Hemp extract has been shown to provide relief to pets for a variety or reasons making them the perfect plant-based solution for pets. Including oil, and treats such as cheesy bacon, kabobs, and doggie steaks.
NEW SUBSIDIARIES, COULD BE ANOTHER CATALYST FOR RLBD
Along with other potential acquisitions, the company website boasts two new brands it is planning on launching soon:
Teetime Wellness
RLBD’s golf-focused brand strives to delight golfers in various aspects of the game both on the course and off. Products are designed to aid in the physical recovery and preparation, as well as the mental side.
CannaClear Skin
CannaClear is a collection of facial creams developed by company CSO Adel Rammal (more on him later). It is a three-stage system for inflamed facial skin.
CELEBRITY ENDORSEMENTS ACCELERATE RLBD POTENTIAL
Celebrity endorsements have been a part of brand building for decades. 10 percent of cumulative advertising budgets involve celebrity endorsement.
There’s a reason for this.
They work.
In a study called “The Value of Celebrity Endorsements: A Stock Market Perspective,” the group analyzed 101 celebrity endorsement announcements by publicly traded companies. The study found overwhelmingly positive results.
This is why Kidrin’s recent comments about celebrity endorsements on the horizon, including Johnny Depp, add to the growing list of reasons RLBD warrants immediate attention.
While the celebrities could certainly create major value, the company’s management is what investors should be impressed by.
RLBD MANAGEMENT HAS THE QUALIFICATIONS TO BRING RLBD TO THE NEXT LEVEL
Most companies worth anything on the OTC markets have a good story.
What separates the big winners from the pack is its management’s ability to actualize potential.
RLBD’s C-Suite and Board are packed with the kind of talent that can do just that…
