Cannabis comp tables – now with EV/EBITDA – as of Nov. 11, 2019

This comp table provides a benchmark for private investors to evaluate existing and future investments as well as a menu for public investors to peruse.

It organizes companies into groups based on the main business model (vertically integrated operators, hemp/CBD, pharmaceutical, and ancillary products and services) and lists the market capitalization, enterprise value (EV), sales estimates and EV/sales multiples on those sales projections.

Given the shift in focus to cash flow for the sector, we have added EV/EBITDA multiples to the table. We have also removed 2019 multiples since the year is almost done.

Nonmeaningful outliers are removed before the averages by group are calculated.

Are there companies missing from this table? A metric you believe is relevant to include?

Email us at investorintelligence@mjbizdaily.com and let us know.
