Investors liking high-risk-high-reward opportunities may want to take a look at Indoor Harvest Corp. (OTCPK: INQD). The company trades on the OTC Pinks but appears to be making strategic moves to perpetuate a move to higher ranks. In Fact, if INQD’s ambitious Q4 and 2024 agenda scores as expected, the path of least resistance for this sub-penny stock is likely higher. And appreciably so. INQD is certainly in the right sector at the right time to make that happen- sustainable hemp and wellness-related products. But INQD is more than just a pure product play. They enhance core focus by incorporating proprietary technology, accretive mergers and acquisitions, strategic partnerships, and joint ventures to capitalize on revenue-generating opportunities within adjacent sectors. Currently trading at $0.0016, history shows there can be a significant upside, considering INQD stock traded as high as $0.0129 in the past 52 weeks. Considering the company is better positioned today than then to turn ambition into revenues, re-claiming that level, 687% higher than its current price, may be a viable near-term target.
The company is doing its part. In August, they announced its engagement with Academy Award-winning film producer Jonathan Sanger. His credits include well-known films, including “The Elephant Man,” “Marshall,” “Vanilla Sky,” and “Mission Impossible 2,” starring blockbuster star Tom Cruise. This project can be a game-changer for more than INQD’s charismatic leader, Leslie Bocskor; it could bring attention to a company that, despite its sub-penny share price, is on track to generate potentially substantial shareholder value.
Part of that could come through the production itself, with INQD hoping to capitalize on working with the iconic veteran film and television content producer to create an original series, currently titled “INQD” (pronounced Inked), featuring Bocskor and his team of experienced business-industry veterans to deliver an entertaining “economic version” of the 1980’s hit series “The A–Team.” The action follows the group’s search to find diamond-in-the-rough companies. Then Bocskor and crew lend their expertise, insight, and industry connections to help them recognize intrinsic and inherent values.
Powerful Relationships To Generate Value
It might sound far-fetched, but this deal can significantly impact INQD valuations. And yes, this is the same Johnathon Sanger that has won an Academy Award for short film and a BAFTA Award for Best Film. Showing his interest, Sanger said, “I’m really excited to be working on this project with Leslie… I’ve been a huge fan of Leslie’s for years and now. Being able to watch him work his magic and turn companies around, through the lens of my camera, is going to be amazing. The world will be able to see what we’ve all been watching him do for years. At a time when most people just talk, Leslie Bocskor actually does the work to help make companies better.” That’s quite an endorsement.
And it indicates that there is tremendous value to be had. Remember, filming isn’t cheap. Moreover, few, if any, producers make content no one wants to watch or read. Thus, take the endorsement as one that may expose a significant valuation disconnect. But like many, it may close sooner rather than later, resulting from the project earning the respect Sanger thinks it will deserve.
INQD described the planned production this way, “The name of the show says it all… it’s “INQD”… we don’t just talk about deals, we INK them!” And there is plenty to prove that point, noting that Bocskor has been helping develop companies for decades, taking them from start-ups to thriving ventures. Turning that into a show may be more than entertaining; it presents an enormous economic opportunity that INQD expects will lead to job creation, investment, revenues, and liquidity for the businesses highlighted. Producing a mix between “The Profit” and “Shark Tank” is the intent.
Value Drivers Extend Beyond Programming
While that planned production could be a significant value driver, more than enough to re-claim 52-week highs, it’s not the only one. In May, INQD announced the acquisition of a 60% controlling interest in Metabiogenix USA® for $2.5M, paid for with cash and common stock. That deal is proving to be a good one. According to INQD, Metabiogenix USA® received a $8.9M USD valuation from the Japanese Medical Institute (JMI). It’s more than valuable on paper. It justifies a higher INQD market cap. In fact, at its current $4.79 million, the company stock is valued less than that asset’s book value, which for INQD’s stake amounts to $5.3 million. And that value was at the deal’s closing. It could be worth more today.
But it’s more than balance sheet value; it’s a value driver for Indoor Harvest. The acquisition provides them an exclusive agreement to market and distribute Metabiogenix USA® Nutraceuticals throughout the Western Hemisphere (North, South, and Central America) and Spain. And it’s no small opportunity. INQD expects that Metabiogenix USA® revenues could reach as high as $20M for FY2024. It’s a game-changing forecast for INQD, and it’s not unreachable.
INQD will benefit from joining business and intellectual forces with Dr. Mario Acosta Mejia, a well-respected academic who earned his Ph.D. in Clinical Pharmacology from the University of Cambridge, England. Since then, he has been an Academic and Researcher at various Universities in Mexico, presented at more than 2,000 conferences, and authored four books: two on Pharmacology, one on Public Health, and one on Medical Humanism. He has also received the “One of the 30 Brilliant Minds of Mexico” Award from Discovery Channel and Grupo Expansión. That’s not all.
Dr. Acosta is the Founder and National President of the Alianza Médica Fraternity, which brings together more than 30,000 Doctors throughout Mexico, and is currently General Director of the Center for Bioequivalence Studies as well as Principal Clinical Investigator at the Japanese Medical Institute in Tokyo, Japan. In other words, he’s a valuable addition and undoubtedly worthy of contributing to INQD’s valuation, especially in his capacity to help INQD capitalize and monetize its unique health and wellness products.
Indoor Harvest Reaching Into Health And Wellness Market Opps
Keep in mind that health and wellness products are a part of a red-hot sector. And being different can be advantageous. That’s where INQD expects to shine. They are focused on benefiting financially from the evolution of wellness and health technologies that use Probiotics as their foundation. Currently, they are being evaluated by the Japanese Medical Institute to work towards improving the life expectancy and quality of life of people worldwide. Notably, Japan has the longest life expectancy, with an average lifespan of 87 years. Importantly, from an IQSD perspective, Dr. Mejia, who Co-Founded and remains President of Metabiogenix USA®, was among the original Principal Clinical Investigators at the Japanese Medical Institute and was instrumental in developing Metabiox®.
The products developed represent a new class of health and wellness products that could aid in revolutionizing preventative methods worldwide by bringing education and tools to doctors and medical practitioners. Metabiox® was certified in December 2021 by COFEPRIS, Mexico’s equivalent to the US Food & Drug Administration, as a new class of therapeutics. That came after 10 years of extensive research and several clinical trials in Japan and Mexico, where Metabiox® proved its value in helping thousands of patients in Mexico regulate cellular metabolism, restore metabolism and pancreatic function, reverse inflammation and markers of liver dysfunction, reinforce intestinal motility, and reset the sleep-wake cycle.
Acquisition Of Opportunity Development Corp
Other value drivers are in play. In May, INQD announced completing its acquisition of Opportunity Development Group, LLC, and its subsidiary 369Hemp, Inc. in a cash and stock deal. This asset is compelling as well. 369Hemp®’s mission is to pioneer the creation, production, and distribution of hemp cigarettes utilizing time-tested techniques from master hemp growers and cigarette manufacturers. Its 369Hemp® products are created of the highest caliber in a 30,000 sq ft facility in North Carolina. Marketed brands include 369Hemp® and white-labeled hemp cigarettes, sold online directly to consumers, in-store retail, and wholesale markets. Estimates from Hemp Industry Daily expect the smokeable hemp market to reach $300-400M by 2025. That potential again exposes value not yet accrued to INQD’s share price.
In addition to the innovation inherent in its new brands that target sales from the smokeable hemp industry, INQD benefits from 369Hemp®’s team and technology to market, manufacture, and distribute hemp cigarettes globally. Moreover, earning a little can be worth a lot since even a tiny percentage of a $300 million market can be transformative from a revenue perspective, fueling an increasing share price. That could happen sooner than later.
Travis Priddy, CEO and founder of 369Hemp® said, “We have created an authentic, true quality alternative cigarette to what most smokers are currently accustomed to with manufacturing efficiency at speeds to scale. We designed a system to run premium biomass and use the best grade material which is hemp flower that is USDA compliant farm regulated hemp, registered, and certified by the state of North Carolina. Indoor Harvest will help us lay the foundation to create the Gold Standard to deliver on the promise of a truly healthy alternative for smokers.”
He should know. Travis Priddy is a seasoned cigarette industry sales executive and entrepreneur with more than 20 years of experience. He has previously worked for Altria (NYSE: MO) and Philip Morris International (NYSE: PM) in both domestic and international markets, focused on national sales and merchandising, new business development, and new product launch strategies in a variety of countries. Retained under an employment agreement as President of 369Hemp®, he, too, can be considered a value driver.
A Value Proposition Exposed In Indoor Harvest
Admittedly, nanocap investments aren’t for everybody. However, if one can be found with delineated potential, seizing the opportunity may be wise. In this case, at $0.0016, the INQD share price may not accurately portray Indoor Harvest’s intrinsic and inherent value and potential. The company does not publish much news, but what’s been said recently has value over and above the current appraisal.
In fact, it’s tough to find a sub-penny stock attracting the attention of renowned public figures. INQD is doing that. Additionally, they are positioned to capitalize in at least two red-hot sectors: health and wellness and hemp. Both present market opportunities in the hundreds of millions. Thus, the low price of Indoor Harvest stock may be better recognized as an opportunity rather than a deterrent.
