420 Investor Weekly Review 12/23/22

Review

Canada reported October cannabis sales of C$389 million, up 9.5% from a year ago and the slowest annual growth to date.

I distributed this written material to 420 Investor subscribers during the week:

Here are some of this week's highlights for Focus List names:

  • CRON announced that Altria relinquished the out-of-the-money warrant to take control of the company, a move that permitted Altria to take a big tax-loss ($483 million).
  • CURLF opened its 55th Florida medical cannabis dispensary.
  • CWBHF named a new CFO.
  • TCNNF closed two debt securities, one for $71.5 million and the other for $18.9 million. It also announced a settlement with OSHA in Massachusetts.
  • TRSSF reduced its debt by $35 million, paying down its Pennsylvania credit agreement.
  • UGRO announced Good Lettuce Company in New Jersey as a new cannabis client.
  • VRNOF opened its 62nd Florida medical cannabis dispensary.
