Shares of Charlotte's Web Holdings (OTC: CWBHF) were trading 5% higher as of 3:47 p.m. EDT on Monday after jumping as much as 13.1% earlier in the day. The gain came after the company announced that it was acquiring Abacus Health Products in an all-stock transaction valued at 99 million Canadian dollars, or around $68 million.
