In Canaccord’s update note for Jushi, their analyst Bobby Burleson reiterates his U$10.00 (~C$12.61) price target and speculative buy rating. He says that both sets of numbers generally came in line with the pre-announced expectations but it shows that Jushi is, “delivering strong top-line while investing for further growth.”
The company also gave second-quarter guidance which came slightly below Canaccord’s previous estimates, calling the guidance “a little soft.” They however still have reiterated their rating and price target. Bobby also says that “guidance for 2021 is intact for now,” but wouldn’t be surprised if adjusted EBITDA came in slightly below the low end of the guidance.
The companies operations seem to be improving with Burleson writing, “JUSHF has improved its operational footprint and competitive position in its core markets of PA and IL.” In Jushi’s other states, Burleson points out that Virginia looks primed for “dramatic growth” and remains the company’s key differentiator. He also believes that the companies M&A pipeline remains robust as the company has recently announced multiple acquisitions to help plant flags in different states.
