3 Canadian Cannabis Stocks with Superior Revenue Growth

Published:

Quarterly financial results for Canadian cannabis stocks have been rolling out this week and we’ve identified the big winners within the cannabis industry

SmallCapPower | November 16, 2018: Over the past week many Canadian cannabis companies have reported their latest quarterly financial results. Many investors have been concerned with high valuations in the cannabis industry therefore deeming investment as too risky. They have placed an increased emphasis on seeing strong revenue gains on an annual basis for stocks to grow into their lofty valuations. The three Canadian cannabis stocks we’ve weeded out saw average revenue growth of 198% y/y, while simultaneously seeing an average stock price decline of 36.6% in the past month. These stocks could see a rebound in share price as a result of their strong financial results. At the very least, investors should place these stocks on their watch list as it will be interesting to see if the aggressive growth can be sustained in their next quarterly earnings, which will capture sales made post recreational legalization. Note: metrics reflect closing prices as at November 14, 2018.
