In Canaccord’s note, they reiterate their C$22 12-month price target and buy rating saying that the majority of the cash raised will go towards its US$342 million >12% debt, while the excess will allow the company to help execute its growth initiatives in its existing markets where it has a leading presence and will help fuel growth in upcoming adult-use markets.
Lastly, Canaccord says that the softer third quarter 2021 print leads to them believing that the company will meet the lower end of its revenue guidance of US$1.2 – US$1.3 billion for the year, and believes that the third-quarter margin headwinds to be transient and not be an issue in the fourth quarter.
