Viridian Chart Of The Week: Finding The Right Balance Between Cheapness And Safety In Cannabis Stocks
Portfolio Pulse from Viridian Capital Advisors
The Viridian Chart of the Week analyzes the balance between valuation and credit risk in cannabis stocks post Q3 earnings. It uses EV/2024 Consensus EBITDA estimates and a proprietary Credit Risk Score to assess attractiveness. Green Thumb (GTBIF) ranks most attractive, while Cansortium (CNTMF) and AYR (AYRWF) offer a balance of low valuation and credit risk. Curaleaf (CURLF) and Acreage (ACRDF) appear less attractive due to high valuation multiples and poor credit scores, respectively. The Viridian Cannabis Deal Tracker monitors industry capital raises and M&A activity.
