What Cronos does

Produces and sells cannabis products in Canada and internationally under brands like Spinach and PEACE NATURALS.

Canadian sales go to provincial wholesalers, which supply licensed shops, so the company sets wholesale prices but not shelf prices. Medical cannabis is exported to markets such as Israel and Germany. Altria, the tobacco company, is the largest shareholder; this Toronto line trades the same company as the US-listed shares.

Products and services

  • Spinach recreational cannabis
  • PEACE NATURALS medical cannabis
  • International medical cannabis (Israel, Germany)

Customers

  • Provincial cannabis retailers/distributors (Canada
  • Medical cannabis patients (international)

Where it sits in the supply chain

  • Cannabis
  • Cultivation & processing
  • Branded recreational/medical cannabis

What could go right

  • Altria's large equity stake and warrants
  • Potential US cannabis legalization optionality

What could go wrong

  • Oversupply/price compression in Canadian cannabis
  • Continued cash burn

Moat: none (brand). Recognizable recreational brand in a commoditized, oversupplied Canadian cannabis market.

How these numbers are made. Returns are close-to-close in local currency. Revenue growth and margins are trailing twelve months. Req g is the revenue growth that today's enterprise value requires for seven years at the company's own cost of capital; Delivered g is what it actually grew; the gap is the hurdle (honest precision about ±8 points, so read the ranking more than the decimal). No fair values, price targets or analyst ratings are shown, by design. Method and validation.
