GrowGeneration narrows losses and reaffirms 2026 outlook

GrowGeneration (GRWG) announced its first-quarter 2026 results, showing a 7.5% increase in net sales to $38.4 million and significantly reduced GAAP net losses to $4.9 million due to cost-cutting and a growing mix of proprietary brands. The company reaffirmed its full-year 2026 revenue guidance of $162 million to $168 million and breakeven adjusted EBITDA, projecting sequential sales growth and improved profitability in upcoming quarters. Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, rates GRWG as Neutral, noting continued unprofitability and cash burn alongside a credible path to breakeven through cost reductions and margin improvements.
