Toward the end of trading yesterday, NVLX announced that it is entering the lucrative medical marijuana space. Needless to say, the stock roared 70% higher on the news and at one point was up 79%.

Specifically, NVLX announced that it has established new subsidiary, Medical Marijuana Sciences, Inc., to study the medical applications of marijuana (Cannabis sativa) and develop treatments for serious human diseases.

The Company plans to publish research demonstrating the therapeutic benefits of cannabinoids on a variety of indications.  By leveraging its existing strengths and experience, the Company will be positioned at the forefront of the medical cannabis industry. The new subsidiary is a means to further employ our core technologies to capitalize on the rapidly growing medical cannabis industry and provide new products for unmet medical needs.

We expect management to provide greater clarity on the type of projects and products in which it will be involved later this week. Clearly, this news should serve as a jump-start to the stock price which has languished for some time.  With additional development news on its core products expected soon as well, and details on the new business, we may be prompted to execute a re-valuation of the stock. We view NVLX as an undervalued and misunderstood company with great technology, a delivery system to treat a broad array of diseases, and a potential prime time player in medical marijuana. We rate NVLX Speculative Buy and we would not be surprised to see the stock break through its 52-week high of $0.089 in the near term.
