Key risk factors and potential stock drivers:
- Licensing Risk – While the number of LPs continues to climb, sales approval remains a significant constraint to supplying the market. Despite Health Canada’s “expedited licensing,” it is estimated that Health Canada has approved less than 4% of all licensed producer applications. Regulatory uncertainty is obstructing some LPs ability to make definitive expansion plans
- Scaling Problems – Cannabis is a difficult plant to grow at scale while meeting Health Canada quality standards, and no LP has yet demonstrated the ability to cultivate cannabis on a large scale
- Auxly is on the verge of seeing stable and meaningful results from their current investments. Analysts remain hopeful that these payoffs will take shape quite soon and remain bullish about the stock price.
- Auxly is still an early stage company and will likely operate at a loss as it grows its market position and seeks ways to monetize it. Therefore, its ability to maintain liquidity and financial flexibility to fund its incremental capital requirements will remain a challenge for the company.
- Notwithstanding recent positive developments, Marijuana remains illegal under federal law. It is a Schedule I controlled substance. Even in those jurisdictions in which the use of medical marijuana has been legalized at the state level, its prescription is a violation of federal law.
