When it comes to credit ratings for Cannabis/HEMP/Psychedelic companies, many investors, acquirers, and lenders have been left in the dark with a lack of information. With Viridian’s data and market intelligence, that is no longer the case. The Viridian Cannabis Credit Tracker is the first of its kind, providing users with a proprietary credit ranking system for companies based on a company’s liquidity, leverage, profitability, and size.

Viridian Cannabis Valuation Tracker

The Viridian Value Tracker is the most comprehensive valuation product in the industry.

  • A broad set of 12 valuation measures assures applicability, regardless of whether the company has analyst coverage or revenues.  The typically presented EV/ Projected Revenues and EV/ Projected EBITDA are available for less than 1/3 of cannabis companies we track.
  • Most valuation studies present only the average valuation measures, while the Tracker goes one step further and shows the distribution of values (the quartiles, median, and dispersion) for each measure. This gives users a more complete view of how companies in the cohort group are valued.

Viridian Credit Tracker

Credit ratings are not currently available for public cannabis companies leaving companies, lenders and investors with a gap of information. The Viridian Cannabis Credit Tracker fills this gap. The model uses 11 market and financial statement variables to discern 4 key credit factors: Liquidity, Leverage, Profitability, and Size, to provide credit/liquidity analysis for over 370 public Cannabis/Hemp companies.

Viridian Cannabis Sector Tracker Description

The Viridian Sector Tracker is the premier resource to follow the movement of capital and M&A by sector. Viridian Capital Advisors partitions the cannabis universe into 12 subsectors and each week we follow the transactions that occur in each of these subsectors, giving investors the ability to spot sector rotations early. 

Viridian Cannabis Regional Tracker Description

The Viridian Cannabis Regional Tracker is the premier resource to follow the movement of capital and M&A by location.

Cannabis industry capital raises and M&A activity are shifting. Newly legalized states in the Central and Northeast have become the focus of an increasing amount of capital deployment to fund new cultivation capacity and new dispensaries. MSOs are often finding it more advantageous to build scale in new states through acquisition rather than internal build, leading to a similar shift in M&A activity.

The Regional Tracker gives investors/sellers and acquisitors being targeted a clear view of where capital is being allocated.
