UK-based GW Pharma (GWPH) is allowing long-term investors a good entry today following the release of Q1 results and a conference call that followed.  The stock continued to retrace a good portion of its massive rally in early January today but has reversed:

The big picture summary of today's report and conference call are that there are no changes to the cash flow guidance provided in December, the company continues to advance its rich pipeline and that Epidiolex remains the key but not exclusive part of that pipeline.  The company will be sharing a significant amount of data as the year progresses on both Epidiolex as well as Sativex and other pipeline candidates.

Taking a longer-term perspective, GWPH, which at $72 is worth about $1.44 billion, has not only solid fundamentals in terms of a huge war chest ($240mm) to fund its many opportunities along ...
