Portfolio Pulse from Nicolás Jose Rodriguez
Florida's cannabis market is poised for significant changes with the upcoming recreational cannabis vote. The market is experiencing deflation, with sales dropping despite volume growth, and a competitive landscape is emerging. Key players like Trulieve, Verano, and AYR are expanding retail operations, while M&A activity is expected to increase. Companies like AYR and iAnthus may become acquisition targets due to financial challenges, while others like Green Thumb and Curaleaf are positioned to acquire assets. If recreational cannabis is legalized, the market could triple, offering substantial growth opportunities.
