Beleaguered cannabis producer Canopy Growth received a $0 price target by Eight Capital on Wednesday after the Toronto-based financial firm said it is no longer appropriate to value the Canadian operator as a going concern.
In a research report titled “Last Puffs of the Roach,” analyst Ty Collin said it’s Eight Capital’s view that Canopy has:
- Fewer than 12 months of cash runway.
- A lack of viable financing alternatives.
- Large ongoing losses without a clear path to profitability.
“We therefore apply an asset-based/breakup valuation for Canopy, where we find a net asset value of zero after accounting for the Company’s substantial debts,” Collin wrote.
“With the recent bankruptcy of leading cannabis retailer Fire & Flower and the distressed sale of Hexo to Tilray, we think investors should be awake to the fact that no Canadian cannabis company is too big to fail in this environment.”
In June, Canopy reported a net loss of 3.3 billion Canadian dollars ($2.5 billion) for its fiscal year ended March 31, and the company warned of its ability to continue as a “going concern.”
