Cannabis Stocks Watchlist: Marijuana Deal Falls Apart

New York lawmakers filed a marijuana legalization bill for the 2021 session. Unfortunately, their neighbors to the west in New Jersey failed to come to an agreement and lawmakers pulled the bill. 

New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy will address the recent developments of the deal at his press conference at noon on Monday.

Last Tuesday, the state of Georgia elected two Democrat Senators to give the Democrats a majority in the Senate. This will give Joe Biden the ability to create an ambitious policy platform.

Could that platform include federally decriminalizing cannabis and legalizing it for recreational use as states like Colorado, Massachusetts and California have done already?

If you’re looking for the stocks to invest in the cannabis sector, TheStreet’s Debra Borchardt recently shared her top stock picks in the cannabis sector for 2021.

Here is a list of the cannabis stocks to watch and their performance from this past week by the percentage change at the close of trading on Jan 8.

Aurora Cannabis Inc | Increased +20.22% | Price $9.99

In late Dec., Aurora Cannabis  (ACB) – Get Report was downgraded but its price target was lifted at BMO Capital. Could recent developments lead to more upgrades for cannabis companies?

Aphria Inc. | Increased +22.08% | Price $8.57

Aphria  (APHA) – Get Report is only up 6.46% since its merger with Tilray was announced. Will we see more mergers in the cannabis sector when federal legalization and decriminalization becomes more of a reality?

TheStreet Quant Ratings rates Aphria as a Sell with a rating score of D.

Tilray Inc | Increased +36.92% | Price $11.31

Tilray  (TLRY) – Get Report started rising after it became likely that Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock would both beat their Republican opponents in the Georgia Senate runoff. Tilray gained 17% Wednesday morning.

Canopy Growth Corp | Increased +22.44% | Price $30.17

TheStreet Quant Ratings rates Canopy Growth Corp as a Hold with a rating score of C.

GW Pharma | Increased +11.09% | Price $128.21

GW Pharma  (GWPH) – Get Report could benefit greatly from legislation around legalizing marijuana. The House passed a bill to federally decriminalize cannabis in early Dec. and now that the Democrats have won the Senate, they can make pass their legislation.

TheStreet Quant Ratings rates GW Pharma as a Sell with a rating score of D+.

Cronos Group CRON | Increased +30.55% | Price $9.06

Cronos Group  (CRON) – Get Report was one of the highest rising cannabis stocks last week after the Democrats took back the Senate. Can the cannabis sector make a comeback similar to the rise in the Bitcoin we have seen this past year?

The Week In Cannabis: Stocks On The Rise, Earnings, Big Cannabis Sales, Moves In Argentina, & Marijuana Hedge Fund

Cannabis stocks were back in the green this week, as earnings season kicked off. 7/17/20 - #Marijuana #HedgeFund : DayTradeReport.com

But it was not only companies reporting their sales this week. States like Illinois and Colorado also put out their marihuana figures. Illinois said it saw marijuana tax revenue total $52 million in the six months since it legalized recreational use on Jan. 1. Over the same period, cannabis sales in the Prairie State amounted to $239 million.

Meanwhile, “Colorado continued to show what a juggernaut it is in terms of sales,” Debra Borchardt, CEO of Green Market Report, told Benzinga. “$192 million in the month of May during a pandemic is impressive, to say the least. With so many new states coming on, we forget how important Colorado is to this industry.”

Worldwide legal cannabis spending also surged considerably, posting its biggest year of growth in 2019, according to data firm BDSA. The Arcview Market Research/BDSA forecast model shows worldwide spending grew 46.1% to $14.8 billion in 2019 over the course of a six-year period from2013 to 2019.

During that time, legal spending grew at a 34.3% compound annual growth rate (CAGR).

Worldwide legal cannabis industry revenue is forecast to grow another 38% to $20.4 billion in 2020, and sales are forecast to reach $46.8 billion in 2025, growing at a 21.2% CAGR 2019-2025.

In the U.S. legal cannabis spending increased by 36.5% to $12.4 billion in 2019.

Bank of America Securities also weighed in on cannabis this week. According to a research report by Bryan Spillane and Lisa Lewandowski, cannabis legalization will likely be an important issue for the U.S. presidential election of 2020.

However, the COVID-19 pandemic could put the debate on hold, they said.

The analysts break down the hypothesis into four elements, which include congressional activity, the Unity task force formed by Democratic candidate Joe Biden and Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, cannabis taxation and legalization measures at the state level. Read the full article here.

In Argentina, the Ministry of Health said it would make definitive changes to the country’s medical marijuana law. On Wednesday, the Health Minister met with key actors to close details on a draft regulation that will allow for home cultivation of cannabis and the production of oils and topicals by local pharmacies.

The measure will also guarantee access to medical cannabis to all patients free of charge, regardless of their health coverage.

MPX International Corp. (CSE: MPXI) (OTC: MPXOF) reported its revenue jumped by 276% over the year to CA$798,516 (US$587,000). That’s a sequential increase of 29.5%.

MJardin Group Inc. (CSE: MJAR) (OTC: MJARF) released its first-quarter financial results for fiscal 2020. The Toronto-based company generated revenue of CA$2.2 million (US$1.6 million) during the quarter, down by roughly 80% compared to the same quarter last year. The company posted a negative adjusted EBITDA of CA$3.2 million versus a loss of around CA$3.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2019.

WeedMD Inc. (TSXV: WMD) (OTC: WDDMF) disclosed that its revenue rose by 327% to $12.2 million. That's a year-over-year increase of 265%.

More on this week’s results, including those out of Artelo Biosciences (NASDAQ: ARTL), at Benzinga Cannabis’ Earnings Center.

Stocks were mostly in the green. Over the five trading days of the week:

ETFMG Alternative Harvest ETF (NYSE: MJ): gained 3%

AdvisorShares Pure Cannabis ETF (NYSE: YOLO): surged 4.2%

Cannabis ETF (NYSE: THCX): rose 3.9%

Amplify Seymour Cannabis ETF (NYSE: CNBS): advanced 3.8%

SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE: SPY) closed the period up 1.3%

Benzinga Cannabis’ content is now available in Spanish on El Planteo.

The week, we also learned that Aphria (TSE:APHA) (NASDAQ: APHA) and Aurora Cannabis (TSE:ACB) (NYSE: ACB) were considering a merger, but suspended talks after failing to agree on board composition, according to Bloomberg.

If a deal had come to fruition, the combined entity would be valued at roughly $3.5 billion and maintain a 30 percent market share of the Canadian recreational cannabis sector.

Following the news, Cantor Fitzgerald's Pablo Zuanic maintained an overweight stance on both companies.

Regarding APHA, Zuanic increased its 12-month price target from C$9.55 to C$10.50. Aphria’s fourth-quarter 2020 results will be released on July 28.

Due to the economic disruptions generated by COVID pandemic, Zuanic anticipates small gains in profitability, modeling gross margins to stay at 25% - consolidated - and EBITDA at C$7.7 million - 5.1% of sales.

Mike Tyson-founded The Ranch Companies has acquired a license to print cannabis products from Smart Cups. Read about this interesting development here.

Jushi Holdings Inc. (CSE: JUSH) (OTC: JUSHF) updated a debt financing deal, raising a total of $17.4 million via a debt offering.

Israeli cannabis company Univo Pharmaceuticals Ltd (TLV: UNVO) saw its stock soar this week, especially on Thursday, after the company reported preliminary results for the first half of 2020.

The spike comes on the heels of several company announcements. Read all about them here.

AltMed Enterprises was awarded U.S. and European patents for its Encapsulation Technology and trademark on EnCaps. This new technology delivers faster and long-lasting relief for medical cannabis patients and creates more effective products for those who want a smoke-free option, a company representative explained.

“These techniques have been widely used in the pharmaceutical industry to improve the efficiency and efficacy of products,” said Todd Beckwith, AltMed Director of Corporate Affairs. “This formulation innovation simply delivers more effective and faster-acting effects that will continue to clearly differentiate the MÜV Products line from others.”

Lightshade, a chain of cannabis dispensaries in Colorado, added its ninth location with the acquisition of craft cannabis retailer Sacred Seed. With locations in Denver, Federal Heights and Aurora, Lightshade is one of the last independent dispensary chains in the state. This was a major factor for Sacred Seed co-founders Jennifer and Jeremy Kilbourne and Gabriel Gaston when deciding to sell.

“This is not a takeover. Our plan is to honor the original store and the hard work that was put into creating it,” said Lisa Gee, Director of Marketing and CSR at Lightshade. “These smaller, independent dispensaries are an important part of their neighborhoods and we are not going to forget this, but highlight it instead.”

Jennifer will stay on at Lightshade and Jeremy will now devote his time to his nonprofit The Mask Project, which makes and donates protective masks to local fire departments and assisted-living facilities.

As the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic continues to spread, more and more states in the U.S. decide to declare cannabis an "essential" good, just like basic groceries and traditional pharmaceutical medications. Interestingly, a majority of Americans seem to agree with these decisions.> Most Americans (53%) believe medical marijuana dispensaries should be considered essential services.> > Democrats (62%) are more likely than Independents (52%) and Republicans (43%) to say this.> > Subscribe to YouGov Daily for more daily top-line data: https://t.co/9Q2fWMVkxo pic.twitter.com/rsWLKuPMQn> > -- YouGovUS (@YouGovUS) March 25, 2020But, while states are being pretty weed-friendly, the federal government maintains its anti-pot stance, excluding marijuana companies from its $2 trillion economic stimulus bill - which did include hemp.David Culver, VP of Government Relations at Canopy Growth Corp (NYSE: CGC) commented on the issue, arguing "cannabis companies need and deserve the same economic relief extended to other industries."Now, despite the lack of federal support, cannabis companies have been thriving in recent weeks, with most stocks up considerably, as sales hit record highs amid the coronavirus outbreak. So, why are so many of them, from Leafly to The Flowr Corporation (TSX.V: FLWR) (OTC: FLWPF) to The Green Organic Dutchman Holdings Ltd. (TSX: TGOD) (OTC: TGODF) been firing its employees in bulk?"It's true that many cannabis companies have been laying off employees lately," said Green Market Report's Debra Borchardt. "Is that really due to the virus or is the virus just cover for poor management decisions?"Several dispensaries have reported big increases in sales, so it's hard to unpack who is really struggling. What we do know is that employees laid off during a crisis with little severance pay are the ones who are really struggling."Check out our new bi-monthly psychedelics news roundup, "Psyched;" and cannabis, hemp and psychedelics news in Spanish on El Planteo.As mentioned above, cannabis stocks had a strong week nonetheless.
