Why 22nd Century Group Stock Just Lit Up
Shares of 22nd Century Group (NYSEMKT: XXII) are up a strong 14.6% in 11:45 a.m. EST trading Friday after the "plant biotechnology" company reported fourth-quarter earnings yesterday.
22nd Century Group didn't "beat" earnings, exactly. Its $0.05 per-share reported loss was worse than the $0.03 loss predicted by the sole analyst who covers it. But the company's $7.3 million in sales for the quarter did beat the analyst's predictions for sales -- $6 million.
