Cash Flow Chronicles: Analyst Dissects Canadian Cannabis Balance Sheets, Market Trends Vs. The US
Portfolio Pulse from Nicolás Jose Rodriguez
The Canadian cannabis market has shown steady growth, but underperforms the U.S. market. Only three out of the 17 Canadian companies reviewed showed positive operating cash flow (OCF) in 2022, including Decibel (OTC:DBCCF), High Tide (NASDAQ:HITI) and Rubicon (OTC:ROMJF). Companies with high net debt-to-sales ratios such as Auxly (OTC:CBWTF), Canopy Growth (NASDAQ:CGC), and HEXO Corp. (NASDAQ:HEXO) could face challenges if cash flow trends don't improve.
