Cannabis Company Planet 13 Endures Setbacks: Embezzlement Claims Precede Discounted Valuation
Portfolio Pulse from Nicolás Jose Rodriguez
Planet 13 Holdings (OTC:PLNH), a cannabis company, faces a 55% lag behind peers this quarter due to an ill-timed equity offering and embezzlement issues. Despite this, it trades at a 35% discount with strong growth prospects, especially in Florida. The company has filed a $16.5 million lawsuit against Casa Verde Capital and El Capitan Advisors for alleged fraud. Financially, PLNH saw a decrease in sales but improved EBITDA margins and ended CY23 with $17.3M in cash, expecting $33M post-VidaCann deal. Strategic moves include the VidaCann acquisition and expansion in Florida and Nevada.
