Stocks discussed: (NYSE:JPM) (NYSE:ORCL)

JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE:JPM) has announced a five-year deal with AI marketing platform Persado. Persado uses AI, data science, computational linguistics and machine learning to improve brand engagement and revenue performance. Kristin Lemkau, CMO of JPMorgan Chase, explained:

“Machine learning is the path to more humanity in marketing. Persado’s technology is incredibly promising. It rewrote copy and headlines that a marketer, using subjective judgment and their experience, likely wouldn’t have. And they worked. We think this is just the beginning. We hope to use Persado not just in marketing, but in our internal communications to make things more relevant to employees, as well as in our customer service prompts.”

Oracle Corporation (NYSE:ORCL) has been named a leader in The Forrester Wave: Enterprise BI Platforms, Q3 2019 report for its Oracle Analytics Cloud.

"We are honored to be recognized as a leader in Forrester's prestigious Wave, which we view as strong validation of Oracle Analytics' strategy and innovation. We believe this report is further evidence of Oracle's ability to deliver modern analytics for enterprises today and provide leadership as the market continues to evolve."

Global AI in Retail to Grow $14.05 Billion USD from 2019-2023

New research from Technavio finds that the global artificial intelligence in retail market will grow $14.05 billion USD from 2019 to 2023 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 35 percent in that forecast period. An excerpt from the report summary outlines some trends observed in the market:

E-commerce providers and retailers are integrating AI with various applications such as planning and procurement, inventory management and sales forecasting, production, supply management, in-store operations, and marketing. AI-enabled smart solutions that the e-commerce industry is deploying are chatbots, advanced visual search engines, and personalized recommendations, which are improving the shopping experience of customers. As a result, sales are increasing, and customer satisfaction is improving. Therefore, large and small e-commerce brands are deploying AI in some form or the other. The increased applications of AI in e-commerce is one of the key artificial intelligence in retail market trends. The trend will contribute to the retail AI market growth during the forecast period.

Today’s podcast overview/transcript:

Good afternoon and welcome to another episode of Investorideas.com “Potcast” featuring cannabis news, stocks to watch as well as insights from thought leaders and experts.

In today’s podcast we look at a few early announcements.

But first, Pineapple Express Delivery announced that it has launched its newest hub in Regina and is now providing both long haul B2B delivery services for Licensed producers operating in the province, as well as same day consumer deliveries for the major retailers.

Starting with the primary hub in Saskatoon which launched in March 2019, Pineapple Express Delivery has systematically extended its reach across the province and now operates in Warman, Martinsville, Regina, Moosejaw and Saskatoon.

Randy Rolph, CEO of Pineapple Express Delivery: "Setting up in Saskatchewan has been a pleasure and we are happy to be able to meet demand and expand our reach. The government is very responsive which helps us to ensure that we maintain our high level of compliance. It has been rewarding to be able to set up with existing partners like Tweed and Meta as they expand into a new province and we have forged new partnerships that we are very proud of. We intend to continue this trend province by province as the regulations permit"

Pineapple Express Delivery is proud to be providing services in Saskatchewan for Tweed, Meta and National Access Cannabis with their New Leaf retail model, National Cannabis Distribution, Kiaro, WestLeaf with their Prairie Records retail model, 5 Buds and Jimmy's Cannabis.

Hempco Food and Fiber Inc (TSXV:HEMP) announced that Institutional Shareholder Services Inc. ("ISS"), a leading independent proxy advisory firm, has recommended that shareholders of Hempco vote FOR the shareholder resolution pertaining to the acquisition by Aurora Cannabis Inc. (NYSE: ACB) (TSX: ACB), of all of the issued and outstanding shares of Hempco which Aurora does not already currently own. Aurora currently holds 51% of the outstanding common shares of Hempco.

If the Arrangement Resolution is passed by Hempco shareholders, each Hempco shareholder other than Aurora, will receive $1.04 per Hempco share, payable in common shares of Aurora shares at a deemed value of $12.01, resulting in an exchange ratio of approximately 0.08659 Aurora shares for each Hempco share.

The meeting to approve the Arrangement Resolution is scheduled for August 13, 2019, at 9:00am Vancouver time.  The deadline to vote is August 9, 2019, at 9:00am Vancouver time.

The Flowr Corporation (TSX.V: FLWR) (OTC: FLWPF) and TruTrace Technologies Inc. (CSE: TTT) (OTCQB: TTTSF) today announced that Flowr joined the Shoppers Drug Mart medical cannabis verification pilot program, which was announced last month at the World Cannabis Congress. The Pilot Program is intended to increase transparency, interoperability and product identification within the medical cannabis industry.

The Pilot Program uses TruTrace's StrainSecure™ technology as a central hub for identity management, asset tracking, validation, and product authentication. StrainSecure™ will also serve as a master registry for standardized testing, product verification, and quality assurance.

Under the StrainSecure™ program, the TruTrace team collects plant testing data and performs genomic verification in plant batches which are then registered in a blockchain-enabled database for intellectual property protection and strain validation. All information gathered from the plants, including their molecular and chemical makeup, can be tracked via the program.

"Our medical cannabis products in Canada are available through Shoppers as we believe the pharmacy model offers significant benefits to patients. We fully support the objectives of this Pilot Program and look forward to working with our partners to ensure patients have access to medicinal cannabis they can trust," said Dr. Lyle Oberg, Flowr's Chief Medical and Policy Officer. "Medical cannabis patients expect that their medication is safe, standardized and of high quality, and we believe this formal traceability program can play an important part of the overall process of building that trust."

Flowr has a supply agreement with Shoppers to supply its FlowrRx brand of medical cannabis products. Patients can visit Shoppers' ecommerce site, shoppersdrugmart.ca/cannabis, to learn more.

Cannvas MedTech Inc. (CSE: MTEC) (OTC: CANVF), announced its intention to change its name from Cannvas MedTech Inc. to "Eurolife Brands Inc." to better reflect the direction of the Company's business activities. Concurrent with the name change, the Company will be completing a subdivision of its issued and outstanding common shares on the basis of four (4) new Shares for every one (1) Share held. The company has additionally secured the trading symbol "EURO".

"We are excited to rebrand as EuroLife Brands as we grow and expand beyond North America, bring cannabis education, analytics and some of the worlds most popular brands to the international markets and emerging regions around the world while aggressively executing on strategic M&A opportunities with like-minded organizations around the world," said Steve Loutskou, Chief Operating Officer, Global Markets, Cannvas MedTech. "We are confident this rebranding effort, coupled with a refreshed and targeted direction for our lines of business, will maximize shareholder value as we build EuroLife Brands into an first-mover industry leader in Europe, South America and beyond."

July 31 Crypto Corner

Stocks discussed: (NYSE:SNE)

The U.S. Senate Banking Committee Chairman, Mike Crapo (R-ID), conceded that the government would likely be unable to successfully ban Bitcoin (BTC) even if it wanted to, according to coverage in Forbes. Crapo made the admission during the committee hearing titled: Examining Regulatory Frameworks for Digital Currencies and Blockchain.

“If the United States were to decide — and I’m not saying that it should — if the United States were to decide we don’t want cryptocurrency to happen in the United States and tried to ban it, I’m pretty confident we couldn’t succeed in doing that because this is a global innovation.”

The comment was directed at Jeremy Allaire, co-founder and CEO of payment tech firm Circle, who elaborated:

“I think the challenge that we all face with this is some of these cryptocurrencies — they’re literally just a piece of open-source software. There’s nothing else. It exists on the internet, it’s open-source software, anyone can implement it, it runs wherever the internet runs, and these have a monetary policy where these assets are algorithmically generated . . . That is a challenge that every government in the world now faces — that money, digital money, will move frictionlessly everywhere in the world at the speed of the internet.”

The UK’s financial watchdog has published its Guidance on Cryptoassets, detailing regulation of crypto in the country. In it, the Financial Conduct Authority defines cryptos like Bitcoin and Ether (ETH) as “exchange tokens” and outside the remit of regulation. This, however, does not completely exempt them from all regulation:

Any token that is not a security token, or an e-money token is unregulated. However, market participants should note certain activities that use tokens may nevertheless be regulated, for example, when used to facilitate regulated payments.

Cointelegraph reports that Germany-based crypto banking startup Bitwala has raised some $14.5 million USD in a funding round co-led by Sony Financial Ventures, a subsidiary of Sony Corporation (NYSE:SNE). Jan Goslicki, co-founder and Chief Compliance Officer at Bitwala said:

“We started Bitwala to do something that nobody thought was possible: to connect Bitcoin and the conventional financial system while fulfilling the requirements of the strict German banking regulation.”

CoinDesk reports that crypto exchange Rain has opened trading in the Middle East following the receipt of a Crypto-Asset Module (CRA) license from Bahrain’s central bank and a $2.5 million funding round co-led by BitMEX Ventures. BitMEX co-founder and CEO commented:

“As the first licensed cryptocurrency exchange in the Middle East, Rain has an unprecedented opportunity to tap into the incredible potential that cryptocurrency trading will bring to the region. We believe that Rain will bring greater diversification to Middle-Eastern traders with its exchange offering and experienced team, and we are thrilled to contribute to this defining moment.”

#Retail Landscape Changing as Younger, #Green Consumers Look for #Sustainable Solutions (OTCQB: $GFTX) (NASDAQ: $REAL) (NASDAQ: $BYND) (CSE: $AGRA.C) (OTC: $PUFXF)

#Retail Landscape Changing as Younger, #Green Consumers Look for #Sustainable Solutions (OTCQB: $GFTX) (NASDAQ: $REAL) (NASDAQ: $BYND) (CSE: $AGRA.C) (OTC: $PUFXF)

Point Roberts WA, Delta BC – July 31, 2019 - Investorideas.com, a leading investor news resource covering food, clean-tech and retail stocks releases a sector snapshot reporting on how millennial consumers have been a driving force in both retail and investment trends as they continue to demand sustainability and company ethics. 

Whether it’s in textiles and clothing or food and wellness products, the recent focus on sustainability and ethical business practices is creating a shift in the market, as many companies adapting to this new environment are seeing rapid growth.

A new report from national nonprofit Green America, The Toxic Textiles Report reviewing 14 major US-based corporations, shows much room for improvement across the sector on transparency, chemical, waste and water management as well as workplace conditions.

“Consumers want sustainable clothing and the market is responding,” said Caroline Chen, Green America’s Social Justice Campaigns Manager. “But too often, many of the promises we hear from conventional companies are token sustainability initiatives that are band-aids to one small part of the problem, or empty platitudes without a plan to achieve real change. Sustainability shouldn’t just be a marketing trend.”

Eco Tek 360, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Global Fiber Technologies Inc. (OTCQB: GFTX) has begun its pilot program to “rejuvenate” textile waste.

Read this in full at https://www.investorideas.com/news/2019/renewable-energy/07311GreenConsumers.asp

Eco Tek 360 has made tremendous progress establishing their supply chain and infrastructure that takes them from fiber to final product. With the company’s supply chain now established, their pilot plant set up and the internal testing of their proprietary process complete, they are ready to start taking on small commercial projects.

The company’s core differentiator is their ability to maintain a fiber’s strength and length through their rejuvenation process which allows them to repurpose fibers from each landfill destined item and re-create a high-quality sustainable product that will continue to be repurposed for several years to come.  Another benefit when working with cotton products is the ability to reduce carbon and water footprints for corporate clients. 

“Each pound of landfill destined cotton waste that we convert into a re-purposed and sustainable product will save an average 500 gallons of water each time it is re-purposed. That means throughout the lifecycle of that original pound of cotton that continues to be rejuvenated, it will help save thousands of gallons of water,” stated Paul Serbiak, CEO of Global Fiber Technologies.

Chris Giordano, Global’s Co-Chairman and President stated “The amount of water that can be saved is truly awe inspiring. If we were to re-purpose just 50,000 pounds of corporate cotton waste it would help save over 25,000,000 gallons of water compared to what would have been needed to grow and process the 50,000 pounds of cotton.”

Global Fiber Technologies’ pilot plant has the capacity to produce over 1.6 million pounds of re-purposed product per year, which translates into 800,000,000 gallons of potential water savings from one small facility.

While Eko Tek 360 is looking to remove the waste created from the textile industry, companies like The RealReal Inc. (NASDAQ: REAL) are looking to reuse what is already produced. The RealReal, the world’s largest online marketplace for authenticated, consigned luxury goods, announced that it will release its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2019, after the market closes on August 13, 2019. These results have been much anticipated due to the company’s quick rise in the market.

The RealReal has managed to capture the growing niche market of those wanting to buy pre-owned (second hand) and real (authentic) luxury goods. In the US in 2018, the second hand apparel market was worth US$24 billion and is forecast to rise to US$64 billion by 2028. The RealReal’s CFO, Matt Gustke sees the potential market at ~US$200 billion.

The RealReal has millions of online shoppers and consignors, three retail stores in NYC & LA and 11 Luxury Consignment Offices across the USA.

RealReal is the first reselling start-up of this generation to go public, and state that they are the world’s largest online marketplace for ‘authenticated’ goods. The Company uses proprietary technology and 100 trained authenticators to screen for fakes and to make available a range of high-end authentic luxury goods. Every product is inspected and vetted before it goes up online.

A recent Forbes article discussed this recent trend of “ethical investing” mentioning “Richard Branson and Bill Gates among the growing number of high-profile names investing in businesses that seek to do social good.”

The article continued, “Many brands label themselves ‘ethical’ because of their commitment to initiatives that include supporting human rights, fair labor conditions and sustainability, but there’s a gap in the environmental, social and government criteria (ESG) that’s used to identify socially responsible companies. At the moment these criteria don’t include animal cruelty, exploitation or abuse.”

There are even companies like Cruelty Free Investing, a recently launched 501C3 non-profit organization, who are intent on providing information surrounding certain exploitations, currently lists every single publicly-traded corporation on NASDAQ, NYSE and NYSE American (formerly AMEX) in one of two lists on Cruelty Free Investing’s website: Companies that do exploit animals, and companies that don’t.

The continued influence of millennial consumers and investors doesn’t stop at clothing though, as the health and wellness sector, with a specific focus on CBD/hemp products has also seen tremendous growth. AgraFlora Organics International Inc. (CSE: AGRA) (OTC: PUFXF), a growth oriented and diversified international cannabis company, recently provided operational guidance and corporate development updates pertaining to its wholly-owned, vertically integrated cannabinoid-infused cosmetics/topicals subsidiary, Canutra Naturals Ltd.

Canutra manufactures and distributes premium personal care, cosmetics and cannabinoid-infused product lines including a suite of trusted consumer brands such as Whole Hemp Health; a Canadian all-natural, hand-made skin care line, formulated with 100% Canadian organic hemp seed oil. Canutra markets its Whole Hemp Health products by way of brick-and-mortar retail outlets, Amazon Prime, as well as direct to consumer, through an integrated Shopify ecommerce platform.

The Company has continued its pre-existing cannabis/hemp research and development partnership with the Universite de Moncton and is pursuing ongoing collaborations with UM to augment its IP portfolio.

Tony Harris, Chief Executive Officer of Canutra stated: “We are thrilled to formally announce the debut of our premium Whole Hemp Health cosmetics line across the continental United States. Compliant distribution south of the border has long been a pinnacle to Canutra’s sustainable sales stratagem. Our recent acquisition by AgraFlora, as well as the subsequent expedited nature of the knowledge transfer process, has allowed us to access diverse economies of scale and robust corporate resources, as made evident by our accelerated entry into the U.S. market. By leveraging Covault’s tried and tested e-commerce marketing platform, we intend to pursue hyper growth within the enormous addressable U.S. marketplace. Canutra exclusive partnership with Covault’s permits us unbridled access to a proprietary marketing toolset, furnished with unique capabilities, extending far beyond what a traditional e-commerce strategy would provide.”

One of the biggest success stories following this new trend and one that has been heavily focused on in the media recently is Beyond Meat, Inc. (NASDAQ: BYND). The company just announced the launch of its latest groundbreaking product Beyond Beef® last month and reported results for the second quarter ended June 29, 2019 on Monday, July 29, 2019 after the market closed.

Beyond Beef is designed to not only look, cook and satisfy like traditional ground beef, but also to be versatile enough to be used in any ground beef recipe including tacos, dumplings, Bolognese, sliders and more. Made with a blend of peas, mung beans and rice proteins, Beyond Beef delivers the meaty taste and texture of the beef, along with marbling intended to melt and tenderize for a satisfying and delicious at-home cooking experience.

“We are thrilled to introduce consumers to our latest product innovation, Beyond Beef,” said Ethan Brown, Beyond Meat Founder and CEO. “This plant-based ground meat allows consumers to enjoy all the culinary versatility of ground beef, with the added nutritional and environmental benefits of eating plant-based meat.”

Looking at trends moving forward, the millennial influence can no longer be dismissed. With many new and old companies adapting to demands for sustainable and ethical practices, it seems the future for many companies may be decided by more young investors and consumers who continue to push for their vision of a healthier world for not only today but well into the future.
