Aurora Cannabis: Upgrading On High-Margin Medical Cannabis Sales Growth - Buy

Summary Aurora Cannabis reported Q2/FY2026 results largely in line with expectations previously outlined by management. High-margin medical cannabis revenue increased by 15% year-over-year and 9% quarter-over-quarter, driven by strong sales in Germany and Poland. On the flip side, sales in Australia declined for a second consecutive quarter due to increasing competition. The disappointing performance resulted in the requirement to take a sizeable impairment charge. While not everything is going according to plan, management remained constructive on the company's near-term outlook and guided for record Adjusted EBITDA in Q3. As a result, I am increasing my price target from $5.65 to $6.30. Given more than 40% upside from current levels and expectations for solid growth in medical cannabis sales, I am upgrading the stock from "Hold" to "Buy". Read the full article on Seeking Alpha

Aurora Cannabis: This Phoenix Has Risen From The Ashes (Strong Buy Initiation)

Summary Aurora Cannabis has transformed its margins, market position, and balance sheet over the last few years, and the stock is now highly 'investible'. ACB's strategic focus on the global medical cannabis market has led to gross margin growth and reduced competition, enhancing top and bottom-line results. The stock is trading at an extremely attractive multiple, and we see significant upside if ACB continues to execute and market awareness of the story improves. We initiate coverage on ACB with a 'Strong Buy' rating. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha

Aurora Cannabis: Don't Let Your Money Go Up In Smoke

Summary Aurora Cannabis has been dead money for years, and the trend is bound to continue. Company is bleeding cash and there's no immediate solution in sight for the impending liquidity problems. We are not happy with the recent acquisition given the declining fundamentals. Expected political changes will provide no catalyst for the stock going forward. Thesis With the recent acquisition, Aurora Cannabis (ACB) is even more of a stock for investors to avoid. The company has historically reported poor financial results despite major acquisitions, and the company is burning through cash rapidly as loan commitments are coming due. We believe that liquidity issues and an unfavorable political environment in the United States will continue to drive this stock price lower over the coming years. Company Overview Aurora Cannabis is a cannabis growing company based in Edmonton, Canada. Aurora operates a network of subsidiaries related to the cannabis industry, and the company owns numerous brands, such as San Rafael '71, Daily Special, CanniMed, Whistler Cannabis Co., and more. These brands create cannabis products for consumer and medical consumption. The stock has had abysmal return for investors, and the stock trades at around $1.675 compared to its historic high above $120 per share only a few years ago. The company now has a valuation of less than $500 million CAD. ACB data by YCharts Abysmal Performance and Returns Aurora Cannabis has had poor financial performance in line with the poor stock price performance in the same time frame. The company is still down ~80% from its 52-week high of $8.69 and the stock price is correlated with the revenue decline. For a growth stock name, the company has actually seen its revenue decline over the past few years, even as the company aggressively acquired competitors. For the recent quarter, revenue has declined 9% YoY and has declined 17% QoQ. In addition, the company has reported a loss of $1 billion CAD in the recent quarter, and according to a report, the recent quarter increased the cumulative net losses of the company to roughly $5.3 billion CAD since 2015. These losses are astronomical, given that the cumulative losses are now 10x the current market capitalization of the company. The poor financial performance should immediately be a red flag to investors, and we believe that there is no immediate catalyst to turn this stock around anytime soon. ACB data by YCharts Liquidity Issues For a company with such large losses, it is not hard to find that the company is exposed to major liquidity issues. In the most recent FY 2021 financial report, the company outlines that ~$494 million CAD are liabilities that are payable between one and three years. In that same time frame, the company reported that there's $332.4 million CAD in cash and cash equivalents, which is substantially below the pending commitments in the next few years. Given the liabilities and the negative earnings, liquidity is risk of the utmost issue, and it is unclear how management plans to navigate through this problem. ACB FY 2021 We believe given management's history, we find it likely that the management will continue to keep the business afloat through dilutive actions and tapping into the debt markets, which will only further add debt to the unprofitable business. As seen below, the diluted shares outstanding for ACB has soared as a result of various acquisitions and financing needs. Just recently, the company announced a major acquisition at a price tag of ~$45 million CAD in cash. Regardless of the potential synergies through the acquisition, we find that the cash burn in addition to constant acquisitions are not recipes for success when the company's fundamentals continue to decline. We don't see that this trend will stop any time soon, and we believe that the company should be avoided at all costs as a result of its frivolous spend and impending liquidity crunch.
