InterCure Stock Eyes Breakout as Trump Signals Cannabis Rescheduling, Expanding Flowery Partnership

With Trump's apparent warming toward cannabis reform and InterCure's strategic positioning through the ISHI acquisition, investors may find the company's current ~$81 million market cap represents a potential opportunity ahead of what could be historic regulatory changes in the U.S. cannabis market | $INCR

InterCure Ltd. (NASDAQ: $INCR ( ▲ 5.13% ) ), Israel's leading cannabis company, appears strategically positioned to capitalize on potential U.S. cannabis rescheduling after President Donald Trump shared a video Sunday advocating for Medicare coverage of CBD for seniors. This latest move follows Trump's August announcement that his administration was reviewing rescheduling marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule III, triggering a rally across cannabis stocks.

The timing could prove particularly advantageous for InterCure, which recently announced a strategic acquisition of ISHI (Botanico Ltd.), securing exclusive partnerships with premium American cannabis brands including The Flowery, a leading vertically integrated medical cannabis company with operations in Florida and New York.

"This acquisition represents a significant milestone in our global expansion strategy," said Alexander Rabinovich, CEO of InterCure. "By acquiring ISHI, we gain immediate access to some of America's most sought-after cannabis genetics and proven operational technologies at exactly the moment when we are encouraged by the reported recent momentum in the U.S. around potential cannabis rescheduling."

InterCure's acquisition of ISHI provides immediate access to The Flowery's premium genetics and advanced cultivation methodologies. The Flowery operates state-of-the-art GMP manufacturing facilities in Florida alongside the largest delivery system in Florida's medical market and the largest retail chain in New York state, with plans for continued expansion.

"At The Flowery, our mission is to deliver the highest expressions of Cannabis quality while creating cultural experiences that reflect and elevate the community that built us," said Elad Kohen, Founder and CEO of The Flowery. "Today's announcement strengthens that partnership with greater access and resources, empowering us to expand into new markets the right way."

The potential rescheduling of cannabis would remove significant barriers for cannabis companies, eliminating the punitive 280E tax burden that prevents businesses from claiming standard deductions, enabling access to banking services, and opening doors for institutional investment. For InterCure, which has maintained profitability for 16+ consecutive quarters, these regulatory changes could substantially enhance its already proven business model.

Sara Carter, Trump's nominee for White House Director of Drug Control Policy, recently called cannabis rescheduling a "bipartisan issue" during her confirmation hearing, indicating the administration is "exploring all options" while evaluating research and data.

InterCure's pharmaceutical approach may provide advantages as regulatory barriers potentially fall. Unlike many U.S. operators struggling with profitability, the company has built GMP-certified facilities producing pharmaceutical-grade products that already meet international standards. InterCure maintains a strong balance sheet despite challenges from the October 7, 2023 attacks that damaged its main facility in Israel.

With Trump's apparent warming toward cannabis reform and InterCure's strategic positioning through the ISHI acquisition, investors may find the company's current $81 million market cap represents a potential opportunity ahead of what could be historic regulatory changes in the U.S. cannabis market.
