Company Breakdown - 22nd Century Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: XXII) 22nd Century Group is a leading to-bacco products company focused on enabling smokers to manage their nicotine consumption. The company manufactures and distributes combustible to-bacco products containing reduced or non-addictive levels of nicotine. Its flagship product, the VLN® cig-a-rette, offers a solution for smokers who wish to reduce their nicotine intake. VLN® cig-a-rettes contain 95% less nicotine than conventional ci-g-arettes, providing an alternative that helps smokers control their consumption and potentially reduce dependence on nicotine.   Founded on the principle of nicotine harm reduction, 22nd Century seeks to provide smokers with the freedom to choose how much nicotine they consume, rather than being forced into either quitting or continuing with addictive levels of nicotine.   This innovative approach to to-bacco products has positioned the company as a unique player in the market, offering products that support smokers in their efforts to lower nicotine consumption.   In December 2021, 22nd Century received Modified Risk To-bacco Product (MRTP) orders from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its Reduced Nicotine Content (RNC) cig-a-rettes.   These orders made 22nd Century the first company to receive FDA approval for a combusted to-bacco product with drastically reduced nicotine content.   This milestone is a testament to the company's commitment to revolutionizing the to-bacco industry with its proprietary technologies, which regulate nicotine biosynthesis in the to-bacco plant, resulting in high-quality to-bacco with significantly reduced nicotine levels. The company operates a vertically integrated manufacturing process, which includes its own high-speed automated factory in Mocksville, North Carolina.   This facility is capable of producing more than 45 million cartons of to-bacco products annually, supporting both 22nd Century's branded products and its contract manufacturing operations.   Through its subsidiary NASCO Products, LLC, the company manufactures cig-a-rettes and ci-gars for other to-bacco brands, leveraging its expertise to attract additional business and lower unit costs. 22nd Century has expanded its market presence through pilot programs and retail studies, leading to significant product and branding enhancements.   As of 2025, its VLN® cig-a-rettes are available in over 5,100 stores across 26 U.S. states.   Beyond to-bacco, the company has also in-vest-ed in research and development (R&D) for bioengineering and nicotine biosynthesis, ensuring its leadership in the low-nicotine category.   22nd Century's extensive patent portfolio and intellectual property protect its innovative approach to nicotine control, including the development of non-GMO low-nicotine to-bacco varieties.   Through strategic R&D partnerships and ongoing product innovation, 22nd Century aims to expand its range of RNC products and improve to-bacco quality while meeting the evolving needs of to-bacco users worldwide.   (Nasdaq: XXII) - 2025 Growth Strategies Grab Sources: XXII Presentation.

These technicals could be signaling a healthy reversal is approaching in the near term. Here's the definition of a "reversal" from Investopedia: "A reversal is a change in the price direction of an asset. A reversal can occur to the upside or downside. Following an uptrend, a reversal would be to the downside. Following a downtrend, a reversal would be to the upside. Reversals are based on overall price direction and are not typically based on one or two periods/bars on a chart." Here's the technicals to pay close attention to (as of 4:00PM EST Tuesday): 9-Day Relative Strength Index: 21.01% 14-Day Relative Strength Index: 24.87% When these numbers drop down to the 30% range and lower, they can be viewed as being in oversold territory. While in this territory, they can paint the picture of a profile that is undervalued. 14-Day Raw Stochastic: 4.11% 14-Day Williams %R: 95.89% As the Raw Stochastic nears the 10% range and lower and the Williams %R nears the 90% range or higher, these technical indicators may also be viewed as oversold and undervalued.
