Palm Beach, FL – March 20, 2019 – The potential future revenues for the cannabis global market is unknown, but each report projects growth, growth and more growth. The renowned Bank of Montreal (BMO) had two of the bank’s cannabis sector analysts, to seek: “… to determine just how big the total addressable market Canadian producers will be competing for in the coming years, one that doesn’t stop at Canada’s borders.” said an article in the Financial Post. The article revealed what the bank’s report said: “The potential of the global cannabis industry is so vast that it could eventually make the sky-high valuations of some Canadian licensed producers look like bargains, according to a new report from Bank of Montreal. Assuming a blue-sky scenario in which the U.S. and all 28 countries in the EU legalize marijuana for both recreational and medical use — and in which Latin America allows the medical use of cannabis — they project that in seven years the market could reach $194 billion, a number that significantly dwarfs the $5.9 billion in potential revenue they anticipate will be generated by the Canadian medical and recreational markets.” Active Companies from around the market with current developments this week include: MYM Nutraceuticals Inc. (CSE: MYM) (OTC: MYMMF), The Green Organic Dutchman Holdings Ltd. (TSX: TGOD) (OTC: TGODF), Aphria Inc. (NYSE: APHA) (TSX: APHA), HEXO Corp. (NYSE: HEXO) (TSX: HEXO), Newstrike Brands (TSX-V: HIP) (OTC: NWKRF).
The article continued: “The report also predicts the total addressable market if all 28 countries in the European Union legalize cannabis for medical use would be $30 billion in seven years, with another $68 billion if they also legalize recreational cannabis. Again, that is a best-case scenario calculation given that a only a number of European nations including Germany, Italy, Portugal, Denmark, Switzerland, Croatia and the Netherlands have legalized medical cannabis, to varying degrees. The drug still remains illegal, albeit decriminalized, in most of the EU.

“This is a major milestone for Aphria on its path to becoming a leading global cannabis producer, as well as a positive development greatly anticipated by the Canadian cannabis industry,” said Irwin D. Simon, Interim CEO of Aphria. “Aphria’s progress expanding production and automation is essential to our strategy of securing scale and long-term advantages that enable the evolution of the cannabis industry through product and brand innovation. With Aphria One, we now have the ability to expand our production capacity by over three times.”
HEXO Corp. (NYSE: HEXO) (TSX: HEXO) has recently indicated that the acquisition of the Newstrike Brands (TSX-V: HIP) (OTCPK: NWKRF) would see the resulting company obtain over $400 million in net profit by 2020. Considering the figure the business combination could result in the company having forward sales trading at 3.8x. Cannabis industry competitors have forward sales trading of 69x, and therefore this could mean that the market undervalues HEXO based on analysts who have assessed the acquisition.
HEXO Corp has its headquarters in Gatineau Canada, and it produces and sells most of its cannabis products in the country. Apart from the main cannabis products such as cannabis oil sublingual mist and well-milled cannabis products, the company also produces and markets dried cannabis.
