4 Canadian marijuana stocks beaten down but set to bounce back big?

On Monday, October 22, 2018, Canadian cannabis stocks saw a significant price pullback during a market correction best shown by the Horizons Marijuana ETF (TSX:HMMJ), which declined 11.5% , hitting its lowest point since late August. The correction does not appear to be news driven and instead was caused by investors viewing the stocks as overvalued and fearing that current bottlenecks in sales could impede next year’s high revenue estimates. Today, we have identified four Canadian marijuana stocks that were hit the hardest on Monday but trade at forward EV/Sales multiples below the peer average of 14.6x (2019) and 5.0x (2020).

Altria earnings: Investors are hoping for news of a move into the cannabis market

Altria Group Inc. is scheduled to report third-quarter earnings on Thursday, and investors are hoping the company will have news on its plans for the cannabis market.

The tobacco giant MO, -1.03% has eschewed cannabis in the past because it remains an illegal substance at the federal level, even though 31 U.S. states and the District of Columbia have laws that allow medical marijuana and 10 states allow it for recreational use. Under federal law, it remains a Schedule 1 drug, putting it on par with heroin and cocaine.

On Wednesday, Oct. 17, Canada became the first industrialized nation to officially legalize recreational marijuana.

Cannabis stocks tumbling in early days of legalization

Shares of major Canadian-listed cannabis companies are extending their broad declines Monday as investors pull out of the volatile sector just a few days after recreational use was legalized in Canada.

Legalization has not been kind to some of the country’s biggest names such as Canopy Growth Corp., Aurora Cannabis Inc. and Tilray Inc. which have seen their respective stocks suffer double-digit declines since Oct. 17 when adult-use of marijuana in Canada was permitted as Bill C-45 came into force.

Cannabis vaping startup Pax raises $20 million

Passing a joint is becoming increasingly passé. Pax Labs Inc., a San Francisco-based startup that makes marijuana vaporizers, raised US$20 million from investors, Chief Executive Officer Bharat Vasan said on Monday. The company declined to provide the valuation.

Pax, part of a rising tide of marijuana device companies, makes internet-connected vaporizers that allow users to control how high they get when consuming the drug. The company’s sleek devices look like highlighter pens or USB sticks, and are operated through an app. Vapers can tinker with the app’s settings to puff a thicker plume of smoke, or lower the device’s LED light to be more discreet when inhaling in public.

Eyeing legal edibles, weed giant teams up with Almonte chocolate-maker Hummingbird

That’s because Hummingbird, which was launched in 2011 by Erica and Drew Gilmour, recently partnered with Canopy Growth Corp., the Smiths Falls-based, publicly traded marijuana company, to press ahead with creating a THC-laced chocolate product that could arguably appeal to gourmets who fancy a tasty buzz.

There is, of course, one big proviso. Production of such a product could only begin “if and when it becomes legal to do so,” Erica Gilmour says.

While recreational cannabis became legal in Canada this week, the legalization of edible pot products, which are hugely popular in other markets, has been put off because regulating them is especially complex.

Coca-Cannabis? Coke ‘closely watching’ possibility of cannabis in wellness drinks

The Coca-Cola Company said recently it is “closely watching” the expanding use of a cannabis element in drinks, another sign cannabis and cannabis-infused products are getting more acceptance in mainstream culture and a harder look from long-established pillars of American business.

The statement came after reports the beverage giant was in talks with a Canadian cannabis company to create a health drink infused with cannabidiol, a naturally occurring non-psychoactive compound derived from the cannabis plant.

Cannabidiol, or CBD, does not produce the high commonly associated with marijuana. It is believed by many to have anti-inflammation and pain-relieving properties. As a result, numerous CBD-infused products have emerged.
