Meet the Big Names in Cannabis’ Multi-Billion Dollar Market
There are very few industries in the markets that have been anywhere near as impressive as the legal cannabis sector. With Canada recently becoming the first ‘industrialized’ country on the planet to give the country the go ahead for adult consumption of cannabis, and over 40 countries who have given the green light to medical cannabis in some form, investors are looking forward to the big opportunities the industry could have in store. How do investors know that something potentially huge could be coming? The hugely undervalued cannabis stock valuations.
The cannabis sector in 2017 was considered a ‘long-shot investment’ however as we move further into 2019 there are currently 14 cannabis stocks with a market cap of over $1 Billion USD. Now with the huge whirlwind of momentum surrounding these companies, you have probably heard there names, so let’s take a look at the top two of today.
Canopy Growth
With only a few minor exceptions, Canopy growth has been known as the largest cannabis stock in the world for the most part of the last few years. The reasoning behind this is simple, Canopy growth has more liquidity and cash equivalents at their disposal, mainly due to the huge investment of $4 Billion USD from constellation brands. The company is expected to be Canada’s second largest cannabis producer annually with almost 4.5 million square feet of space ready to cultivate. It is also no slow poke when it comes to branding and international recognition as they have partnered with the most recognized Canadian Brand Tweed, and have access to over 12 international marketplaces.
Aurora Cannabis
In a close second place, but arguably the more popular company among the millennials is Aurora Cannabis. However based on more than just consumer favoritism the company is also estimated to become the Leading supplier of cannabis in Canada by a lot. Management at the company are projecting that the annual production will be in the area of 500,000 KG plus, with the space they have available to them, and their huge international ties and production facilities available around the world. It would not be wrong to assume somewhere in the region of 1,000,000 kg by the end of 2023. This huge influx in production has been helped along by their acquisitions of MedReleaf and Cannimed, who already have production facilities up and running. Additionally Aurora Cannabis have the most international ties out of any of the big names in cannabis coming in at a staggering 24 countries.
