Canopy Growth Corp. has been facing challenges in terms of returns on capital. Experts indicate that the company has seen significant capital invested in the business, but much of this investment has been unproductive, leading to skepticism about its long-term viability. The lack of regulatory clarity and a saturated market have contributed to these weakness, with calls for major consolidation in the cannabis sector. Some experts believe that without a significant shift in the regulatory landscape and operational efficiencies, prospects for investment in Canopy Growth remain dim. The overall sentiment is that the cannabis industry needs reform and consolidation before it becomes a viable investment space.
These stocks had run up a tremendous amount. The valuation is insane. A lot of speculation in this space. The corporate governance in this space is not strong. For any investors that have made money in this space, should be taking profits now. It’s likely natural that they will pull back now that is legalized. He does not own companies in this space.
Canopy Growth (WEED-T) vs Aurora Cannabis (ACB-T) The battle of the titans. Both companies do good things. He favors Canopy as it has a lower risk diversified growth strategy in 12 different facilities. He also likes the deal with Constellation for further diversification. Aurora is expected to grow with the expansion of the new facility near Edmonton, but he wonders if the growth will be staged and may be slower than people expect. Canopy also has an advantage given its size of existing product inventory.
He's avoided the weed space, because cannabis producers--being commodity producers--have very low profit margins. This is a gold rush now. Some companies will survive, but some won't. There are legalization challenges, especially about edibles. Canopy will survive, because Constellatioon Brands is its major backer, but doubts it can maintain its stock levels. Right now, cannabis is a total crap shoot, though Canopy is one of the strongest of the pack.
