Outlook / Guidance
Safe Harbor Financial anticipates growth from recent federal cannabis policy changes, including the reclassification of state-licensed medical cannabis to Schedule III. The company expects its compliance platform’s addressable market to expand as Section 280E relief impacts medical operators and more financial institutions enter cannabis banking. Safe Harbor Financial aims to maintain its position as a leading financial platform for cannabis and hemp operators and a compliance backbone for financial institutions, focusing on disciplined execution throughout 2026.
