“We are pleased to announce another exceptionally strong quarter, as illustrated by a 157% increase in gross profit, fueled by impressive year-over-year growth of 61% in cut herbs and 30% in vitamins & supplements for the second quarter of 2024. Our shift away from the dependence on third-party growers is driving our gross profit margin improvement. With approximately 95% of our fresh product line now produced in our own facilities, gross margin increased to a record 36.7% in the second quarter of 2024, compared to 13.1% for the same period last year," commented Mr. Jim Kras, CEO of Edible Garden.

How To Buy EDBL Stock:

Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share – or fractional share – of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument.
