The Viridian Value Tracker is the most comprehensive valuation product in the industry.
Unlike the top cultivation and retail segment companies, the Agriculture Technology sector has not benefitted from any boost in valuation metrics over the last seven months. Median market to book is now 0.14x compared to .46x in July. Only 6 of the 19 sector participants have analyst coverage, but the same trend is clear: median EV/ 2023 revenue is only .45x compared to .58x in July. We expect the additional cash flows from 280e relief will bring further growth capacity online, fostering better results from Ag-Tech. Ag Tech supplies products like soils, nutrients, and fertilizers that will gain as new capacity comes online in new adult states like Ohio and Maryland. Still, it also supplies capital-intensive products like lighting and HVAC, which will take longer to come to fruition as the customers regain their ability to finance new capex.
