We discussed F45 Training earlier this week in a similar article: 4 Penny Stocks Insiders Spent Millions To Buy In August 2022. The company, most notable for its big investors, including Mark Wahlberg, hasn’t faired as well as some would’ve imagined. Since its IPO, FXLV stock is far from its debut highs, but that hasn’t meant it’s a nonstarter for some insiders.

The performance training company and “45-minute workout” fitness programmer has seen millions in insider trades made this month. This week, Director and 10% owner Kennedy Lewis Management LP grabbed over 1.21 million shares between August 18th and 19th. Another Form 4 filed on Wednesday showed the firm added to its stake a few days later.

22nd Century Group Inc. (NASDAQ: XXII)

With marijuana stocks heating up in the stock market today, it makes sense that 22nd Century might be getting some sympathy momentum from the trend. Besides low nicotine cigarettes, the company uses plant breeding technologies to deliver solutions for the life science and consumer product industries, including hemp & cannabis. 22nd Century also acquired a hemp and cannabis extraction company, GVB Biopharma, in May, which is expected to double total revenue and bring related products into the portfolio.

This week, it announced that its VLN® King and VLN® Menthol King reduced nicotine content cigarettes were awarded Best New Product in the cigarette category by Convenience Store News.
