Curaleaf basically reported in-line results with Canaccord’s estimates but Canaccord says that shouldn’t be what is being talked about, rather the 20% quarter-over-quarter increase should be the big takeaway.
Below you can see Canaccord’s second-quarter estimates. They say that Illinois, Pennsylvania, Florida, and Arizona attributed the most to the quarter alongside opening 5 new dispensaries. EMMAC, now called Curaleaf International, meanwhile contributed roughly $5 million to the quarter.
Canaccord makes note of the Los Suenos Farms acquisition, which owns 3 indoor cultivation sites and a 1,800 plant indoor facility which is located on 66 acres of property. Canaccord adds, “We note that the company has already started to carve out a meaningful presence in Colorado’s ~US$2.2B markets via its Select branded products. The addition of LSF allows CURA to become 100% vertically integrated in the state while adding an asset that is anticipated to aid in its overall low-cost cultivation profile.”
