Cannabis Giants: A US Bet (WEED) vs. A Value Play (ACB) | Ep. 24
Description
With the US on the verge of potentially reclassifying cannabis as a less dangerous drug, we're analyzing how two of Canada's largest cannabis companies are positioned to capitalize on this historic shift.
Jon Brown dives into Canopy Growth (TSX: WEED/NASDAQ:CGC), exploring how its unique "Canopy USA" structure gives it a direct line into the American market, making the potential policy change a massive catalyst. Then, Trevor Abes highlights the impressive financial turnaround at Aurora Cannabis (TSX: ACB), arguing that its recent string of profitable quarters and positive free cash flow make it a compelling value play, especially as its stock price has yet to reflect its success.
