Viridian Chart Of The Week: How Capital Intensive Is Cannabis?
Portfolio Pulse from Viridian Capital Advisors
A chart by Viridian Capital shows that the cannabis industry is the most capital-intensive compared to tobacco, alcoholic beverages, pharmaceuticals, and consumer products industries. The capital intensity is measured by the next twelve-month consensus revenue estimates divided by aggregate capital employed. The chart includes nine cannabis companies with market caps over $100M, and several companies from the other industries. The high capital intensity of the cannabis industry is attributed to federal illegality, which forces companies to maintain duplicate managerial and operations functions.
