C21 Investments, with a market cap of CA$36.01 million, reported US$6.6 million in sales for the first quarter ending June 2024, but remains unprofitable with a net loss of US$1.41 million. The company has reduced its debt significantly over five years and maintains a positive free cash flow, providing a cash runway exceeding three years despite its current losses.
