Aurora Cannabis Inc Shares Drop in Sympathy with Canopy Growths Disappointing Q4 Results

As of June 23, 2023, Aurora Cannabis Inc (NASDAQ:ACB) has seen a 10.5% drop in its shares, currently trading at $0.55 towards the end of Friday’s trading session. This decline is in sympathy with Canopy Growth Corporation, a peer cannabis stock that reported disappointing fourth-quarter financial results. Canopy Growth’s losses of 24 cents per share fell short of the analyst consensus estimate of a loss of 15 cents. The company’s quarterly sales of $72.61 million also missed the analyst consensus estimate of $73.19 million by less than 1%, reflecting a 17.7% decrease compared to the corresponding period last year.

However, Canopy Growth implemented strategic measures that reduced expenses by $125 million, including divesting national cannabis retail operations, ceasing sourcing from certain facilities, consolidating cultivation, and adopting a third-party sourcing model. Despite a 21% YoY decrease in net revenue to $403 million, revenue only decreased by 11% compared to the previous year after adjusting for divestitures. The company’s Canadian medical cannabis revenue also increased by 6% YoY. Canopy Growth entered into an agreement with Indiva Limited for the distribution and sales of Wana branded products, which is expected to enhance profitability and strengthen its position in the edibles category in Canada.

As for ACB, data from Benzinga Pro shows that its 52-week high is $1.94 and its 52-week low is $0.49. Eight analysts offering 12-month price forecasts for Aurora Cannabis Inc have a median target of $0.75, with a high estimate of $1.14 and a low estimate of $0.74.
