“We believe there is potential upside to Street expectations for the fiscal third quarter of 2020 driven by the company’s pivot into a recreational product mix that should now be better aligned with demand,” analysts Tamy Chen and Peter Sklar wrote in a note, Barron’s reported.

Shares of the company are up more than 13% year to date, but down more than 50% in the last 52 weeks.
