Buying like drunken sailors causing dilution? Started with the build, then moved to just the buy at extended multiples. Now using cash, which is tamping down return potential. Storm clouds on horizon. Supply far exceeds demand. They’re not really thinking of shareholders when they’re buying at high multiples.
Contender, go by the wayside, or be acquired? Be careful, takeout premium is built in. If no takeout, there could be a blow up in the stock. Stuck in no man’s land, no R&D on pharmaceutical side, no export agreements. Tough for them to compete in exports and pharmaceuticals when the market price of wholesale marijuana reaches a plateau in a year or two.
Future? Produces plant-based medicine. They’re smart, likes the management team because of their pharma experience. Oversupply still to get through, but if you’re willing to look beyond the next year, stick with it. If you’re worried about storm clouds, put your money into a high-yielding energy stock, or another commodity, and then come back in later in 2019.
Competitive call structure, lack of growth. Paying down debt instead of reinvesting in the business, which will hit their growth longer term. Prefers CNQ which has more growth and higher yield.
