Evogene acts as a computational biology technology hub; $50M market cap, $54M cash, 5 subsidiaries (4 of which are valuable). The article discusses subsidiaries Biomica, Lavie Bio and AgPlenus.

Lavie Bio recently commercially launched result™, a microbiome-based ag-stimulant to increase yield and profitability in spring wheat.

Evogene's Canonic Begins Selling High THC Cannabis In Israeli Medical Market

Canonic introduces their new proprietary cannabis strains and begins limited distribution in Israel. The company will make a full commercial release of the new products in 2022. Evogene’s other subsidiary, Lavie Bio, plans a commercial release of their bio-stimulate in 2022. The company’s Q2-2021 quarterly report shows net loss and low revenues, but plenty of operating cash. I give the company a neutral rating and recommend investors watch their developments and await revenue catalysts.
