HEXO's Q2 2023 Financial Report Shows First-Ever Positive Net Income

HEXO Corp. HEXO, a leading cannabis company, reported its financial results ate Thursday for the second quarter of the 2023 fiscal year.

"HEXO held firm to our long-term strategy this quarter and remained focused on our most profitable brands and maintaining fair prices," stated Charlie Bowman, president, and CEO of HEXO in a press release.
