OUR 9TH YEAR OF PROVIDING PROPRIETARY CAPITAL MARKETS INTELLIGENCE ON THE CANNABIS / HEMP / PSYCHEDELIC SECTORS

Credit Tracker By Industry Sector

Credit Tracker By Sector

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.

Week ended 04/19/2024

  • The eighteen companies in the Ag Tech sector continue to paint a relatively ugly credit picture. The median company is quite small, with only $10M of assets and $4M of market cap. Liquidity is strained with a median current ratio of only 1.07x and a negative free cash flow adjusted current ratio, indicating a need for additional financing, asset sales, or both. Free cash flow remains deeply negative, and even the top quartile of the five analyst-covered companies has only slightly positive EBITDA.
  • The sector will benefit significantly from S3 as the cultivator purse strings are loosened and expansion re-ignites. In the meantime, the most robust credits may be able to take advantage of the situation with some bolt-on acquisitions.
