Aurora Cannabis: Consensus Price Target Tumbles Following Q3 Results

Aurora Cannabis (TSX: ACB) (NYSE: ACB) reported earnings for their fiscal third-quarter earnings on May 13th. The company reported revenues of $55.2 million, a 16.5% decrease sequentially and a 25% decrease year over year. Below the top line, the company reported a negative $72.4 million in gross profits, with earnings per share coming in at negative $0.85 for the quarter. All these numbers came in below the analyst consensus.

Many analysts have reduced their 12-month price after Aurora’s earnings, pushing the 12-month mean price target down to C$11.08 from C$12.58. The company currently has 13 analysts covering it, with five analysts having a hold rating, another five having sell ratings and three having strong sell ratings. ATB Capital, Cowen, MKM Partners, and Piper Sandler all reduced their 12-month price target on Aurora.

In Canaccord’s note to investors, they also cut their 12-month price target in half to C$7 and downgraded the stock to a sell rating from hold. Matt Bottomley headlines, “A sizable miss while Cdn adult-use sales continue steep decline (down ~37% QoQ).” Bottomley lowered their outlook on Aurora as Aurora continues to lose market share in the Canadian adult-use market, while increasing the execution risks associated with their long-term forecasts.

Aurora reported revenue of $55.2 this quarter, which came in below Canaccord’s estimates of $63.3 million which was on the lower end of analysts’ expectations. Adult-use sales had a 17% decline during this quarter which Bottomley notes is 50% lower than what the company was making 6 months ago. Domestic recreational sales dropped 37% quarter over quarter.

Management and Canaccord both agree that the primary reason for the drop in revenues is due to COVID-19 headwinds as well as them trying to right-size their SKUs. Not all is bad though, Aurora still has a number 1 market share in the medical market and remains one of the largest cannabis exporters out of Canada.

Bottomley says that the large cash position that Aurora has (C$470 million) comes with “no small cost,” with Aurora ballooning their shares outstanding by 63% year to date which doesn’t seem to stop as Aurora has now also announced another U$300 million ATM facility.

Below you can see the updated 2021 estimates.
