The Canadian marijuana stocks we’ve dug up are trading well below the industry average multiples of 44.6x forward revenue and could be primed for an upside move

The big players such as Canopy Growth Corp. (TSX:WEED), Aurora Cannabis Inc. (TSX:ACB) and Aphria Inc. (TSX:APHA) have declined -4.1%, -2.5% and -15.8%, respectively. Forward enterprise value to revenue is a useful metric to a stock’s value for early-stage companies that have not achieved positive cash flows.

Today we have weeded out five Canadian marijuana stocks that are trading below 10.0x forward revenues, well below their peer averages.
