Cronos Group: Raymond James Sees US$4.10/Share Valuation Just For Ginkgos Partnership

Raymond James recently upgraded Cronos Group (TSX: CRON) (NASDAQ: CRON) to an Outperform 2 rating as well as almost doubling their price target to C$13.52 / U$10. The justification behind this was that they believe Cronos’ partnership with Ginkgo Bioworks currently adds $1.54 billion or US$4.10 a share in value. After all, Raymond James has created a valuation method specific to cannabinoid biosynthesis.

Raymond James estimates that the global market for products made by cannabinoid biosynthesis will grow from C$10 billion in 2025 to C$115 billion in 2040 with an estimated EBITDA coming in at C$1.3 billion and C$15.2 billion respectively for the sector. Furthermore, its estimated that the present value for the sector is currently ~C$40 billion as a result. The firm says Cronos will begin to see “material revenues for CRON within 12-18 months” from the Ginkgos partnership as a result, although they do not change their revenue estimates for Cronos, which is U$71.5m in revenue with a gross profit of C$35.6m for FY2020.

This updated outlook from Raymond James is noteworthy because with this upgrade they believe there is a ~60% upside to the stock, the highest out of any analyst. With the mean analyst price target being C$8.60, not only is their price target considerably different from their peers but so is their rating, with the firm having an Outperform 2 rating for Cronos, the highest rating Cronos currently has.

There are 12 analysts currently providing a rating, and Raymond has the only outperform rating while only one other firm has a buy rating. The remainder have holds (7) or strong sells (2).
