Q: hi folks:

below is your reply/update from july 12,2022 on these 4 pot stocks

seems like the only catalyst will be the pending legislative change in the usa

i am curious for your update on these names, with a comment on potential survivability (or, i guess, lack of same)


thanks again

merry christmas to you and your families


unless that offends you, then happy holidays...............

GRWG is the smallest of the names, with a market cap of $256.3M, whereas GTII has a market cap of $2.8B, TRUL $3.0B, and CURA $4.6B. Revenue growth is strong among all four companies. GRWG has had the most volatility in price and its balance sheet is quite strong, but it does issue shares to fund its operations. GTII has good profit margins and is at a reasonable valuation (2.0X sales, 30.1X P/E, and 1.3X book value). TRUL has shown volatility in its profitability and its valuation is OK (1.7X sales, 37.3X P/E, and 1.0X book). CURA is not profitable and has a high valuation.

We think that GTII has demonstrated its resiliency and is the strongest of the four names. Although GRWG is the smallest, we like its profitability and strong balance sheet. We would then rank TRUL and CURA following GTII and GRWG. Although, the momentum in shares for all four names is not the greatest and we would prefer to wait until investor appetite for growth stocks has returned before becoming interested in these names.

Q: Trying to wrap my mind around Well. It’s current financial status and future potential. Are you able to outline balance sheet, cash flow, profitability, growth and upside potential etc. Isn’t this a good sector to be in during these times? It looks significantly discounted from where it was. What are the risks. Thx.

Q: A short while back there was a 5i comment that you thought there was a good chance that small cap stocks would rally early in the new year. Wondered why you thought that? At the moment there appears to be a great deal of fear and pessimism in the markets . Many good companies are getting pounded. And technical charts are pointing downward. So , within this environment where it is hard to resist not selling everything and moving to the sidelines, what reason is there for small caps to rebound?

Q: Hi 5i,
Well, FRII sure proves that patience is a virtue, if holding on to a stock that lost 90% of its value almost immediately after it was purchased long enough (years, in fact) for it to recover 25% of the value that it lost can be considered virtuous!
Seriously though, I'm very glad to see that FRII is finally being bought as I've hoped it would be for years now (no matter that its being bought very cheap compared to what it was once thought to be worth) and I'm going to get at least some of my long-departed money back. My question is whether there is any possibility that the $2.30 / share it's apparently going for might possibly rise, or is that likely all there is? I ask because I don't really know how these things work and wonder if the public facing statements about the sale might cause another suitor to step forward with a higher offer. Or is there any likelihood that a shareholder with enough clout to object might say no to the money currently on the table and compel a different outcome?
Thanks for your thoughts 5i,
Peter
