Revenue continues to decline as the company pivots from CMO to VLN® products, but VLN® revenue remains negligible at $0.03M. With $6.1M cash and a $3.5M quarterly cash burn (Adjusted EBITDA loss), the company has less than 2 quarters of runway without additional financing. Traders should watch for a potential dilutive offering or reverse stock split to maintain Nasdaq listing, given the $2M market cap and massive share dilution.
Price Chart
Executive Summary
22nd Century Group reported Q2 2026 net revenue of $2.9M, down 29.9% YoY from $4.1M, driven by a strategic shift away from low-margin CMO cigarette sales toward higher-margin VLN® products. Net loss from continuing operations was $3.3M (flat YoY), while Adjusted EBITDA loss widened to $3.5M from $2.6M. The company ended the quarter with $6.1M cash and no debt, but the revenue decline and expanding operating losses signal ongoing cash burn with no clear path to profitability.
