What Marijuana Stock Is Up 446% Since Their IPO?

TransCanna, A.K.A. TransCanna Holdings Inc. or $TCAN, closed Friday on the Canadian Stock Exchange (CSE) at $2.73 per unit (share).

 

The company IPO'd on Jan 8, 2019 at $0.50 per unit and its stock value has increased roughly 446 percent since being listed on the CSE.

Meanwhile, North America’s legal marijuana market looks vigorous as we approach 4.20, 2019.  In three independent reports on the worldwide cannabis market, Arcview / BDS, Cowen Inc., and Grand View Research Inc. were extremely bullish on the cannabis sector.

• Arcview / BDS noted in their published report, The State of Legal Marijuana Markets, spending on legal cannabis is anticipated to reach roughly $57 billion worldwide by 2027. 

• Cowen Inc., a financial services and research firm covering the cannabis industry, is much more bullish on sales in this space and has revised its forecast for gross cannabis sales in the U.S. alone from $50 billion by 2026 to around $75 billion in gross sales by 2030.

• Grand View Research Inc. forecasts the global legal marijuana market will generate $146.4 billion in sales by the end of 2025.

Conversely –the legal sale of recreational marijuana in the United States topped out at just over $8 billion dollars in 2018, according to a report by GreenWave Advisers.

In other words, there’s still a lot of opportunity for growth within the marijuana sector. Particularly for those companies that focus on streamlining transportation and distribution in California’s marijuana marketplace.

Transporting & distributing #cannabis products in Cali is extremely challenging due to municipal laws, state laws & regulations. Our approach to T&D is creating a unified network that includes at least five strategic facilities throughout the state. https://t.co/GjBGLG0PVu $TCAN pic.twitter.com/40qP9A2kCM

Are Small-Cap Cannabis Stocks A Better Deal Than Large-Cap Stocks?

Bigger isn't better when it comes to marijuana stocks!

Now that recreational cannabis is legal in 10 US states and Canada, some investors are wondering just how big the marijuana industry will grow?

But depending on where you get your stock info, the potential growth of the marijuana sector seems to vacillate.

While Arcview Market Research and BDS Analytics has called for global sales to hit $31.3 billion by 2022, the Cowen Group foresees $75 billion in worldwide marijuana sales by 2030.

Whether its $75B by 2030 or $31.3B by 2022, one big question remains: Which marijuana stocks should you invest in?

Although large-cap stocks are a tempting purchase, most small-cap marijuana stocks have a better chance of actually showing profitability.

So, while companies like Canopy Growth (NYSE: CGC), Aurora Cannabis, Tilray, and Cronos Group (NASDAQ: CRON) have smoked their immediate competitors in cultivating a dank return on investment thus far – are these large-cap marijuana stocks really the best option going forward?

Some would argue they’re not.

On February 21, 2019, Sean Williams of The Motley Fool provided 5 thoughtful motivations for buying small-cap pot stocks rather than companies like Canopy Growth, Aurora Cannabis, Tilray, and Cronos Group.

1. Small-caps marijuana companies have a better chance of being profitable
2. There is less baked-in premium for small-cap marijuana companies
3. The buyout potential is significantly better in small-cap cannabis companies
4. The allure of synergistic partnerships and valuation perspective
5. Small-cap cannabis companies have incredible focus

“The fact is, small-cap pot stocks offer more potential than Wall Street's mid- and large-cap darlings,” according to Williams.

And companies like TransCanna should be one of the small-cap marijuana stocks you consider investing in 2019.

TransCanna Holdings Inc., (Borse Frankfurt:TH8 / Canadian Securities Exchange:TCAN) announced on Feb 20, 2019, it has appointed Haywood Securities Inc. ("Haywood") to act as lead agent on behalf of a syndicate of agents to be formed, including Gravitas Securities Inc. The two companies will sell, by way of a private placement, up to 5,000,000 units of the Company at a price of $2.00 per Unit.

Per the announcement. "TransCanna intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering to partially fund the acquisition of the 196,000 sq ft cannabis facility as announced on February 4, 2019, and for working capital and general corporate purposes."

TCAN Up Over 370 Percent Since IPO, TransCanna Announces Feb. 19 Conference Call

TransCanna Holdings Inc. ($TCAN) Is Up 374% Since January IPO. 

North American cannabis stocks, like TransCanna Holdings Inc. ($TCAN), caught the attention of savvy investors early this year when the company successfully completed its initial public offering (IPO). 

The company rolled out its IPO of 4,400,000 shares (a.k.a. units) on Jan 8, 2019, on the Canadian Stock Exchange (CSE) at $.50 per unit, according to MarketWatch.

... and on Friday, February 15, the company closed at $2.37 per share on the CSE. 

FYI, the Canadian based company provides California’s small-cap cannabis companies assistance with branding, transportation, and distribution in the highly competitive sector.

Similar to other publicly traded stocks and funds, TCAN's stock value has vacillated since the IPO, but as the CSE closed on Friday, TCAN was up roughly 374 percent since their  Initial Public Offering in January. 

While some cannabis stocks have gained value based on pure market speculation, asset acquisition and strategic licensing have fueled TransCanna’s noteworthy increase in value for the first two months of 2019.

TransCanna’s Early Growth For 2019 

• On January 18, 2019, TransCanna received a temporary distribution license from the state of California. 
• On January 21, 2019, TransCanna was approved for trading on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange: XETR: TH8
• On January 23, 2019, TransCanna signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) to purchase Goodfellas Group LLC.
• On February 4, 2019, TransCanna's CEO, Jim Pakulis, announced the company accepted the assignment of a real estate purchase "Option Agreement" to acquire 6.5 acres of land and an existing 196,000 ft.² facility. 
• On February 14, 2019, TransCanna announced the completion of 420 Global: A Warehouse Management System (WMS) with a Cannabis Track‐and‐Trace (CCTT) component, 420 Global will facilitate the company's full compliance with the state's governing rules and regulations.
• On Tuesday, February 19, 2019, TransCanna will host a corporate conference call at approximately 1:15 pm. The conference call will update investors on TransCanna's activities and acquisitions over the first two months 2019, in addition to articulating the future vision and opportunities the company is currently pursuing.

Are Cannabis Stocks The Next Investment Opportunity?

$TCAN: This Cannabis Stock Could Be Like Buying Apple (AAPL) For $22 A Share

Note: For those of you who didn’t invest, say, $220 in Apple’s initial public offering (IPO) back on December 12, 1980, wanna hear something really depressing? If you had purchased 10 shares of Apple at the company's IPO price of $22, you’d have earned roughly $38,000 as of February 8, 2019. 

While you may have missed out on AAPL, you can still score with $TCAN!

A Canadian-based cannabis branding company, TransCanna Holdings Inc. specializes in assisting California’s marijuana companies with obtaining customer brand recognition, distribution and marketing. 

On February 1st, Transcanna accepted an assignment of a real estate option agreement (“Option Agreement”) from its CEO, Jim Pakulis, to acquire land, a building and all assets, which includes the existing 196,000 square foot facility on 6.5 acres of land. The purchase price for the Property includes cannabis packaging and processing equipment, according to Globe Newswire.

On January 18, 2019, the company announced, “TCM Distribution, Inc. (“TCMD”), a non-profit entity managed by TransCanna Holdings Inc., had received its temporary distributor license from the state of California.” The press release also noted that TCMD submitted its “permanent distribution license application to the state of California on December 31, 2018.”

Additionally, the company announced they’ve received approval for trading on the Frankfurt stock exchange (XETR:TH8); have retained Purple Crown Communications for Investor Relations Services; have signed a LOI with Goodfellas Group; and will be operating out of facilities located in North San Diego, Culver City, Los Angeles, Sacramento and
Adelanto, California.

And some savvy investors think this could be a critical component to profiting off the upcoming marijuana market.

While 2018 closed with a disappointing fourth quarter that saw numerous cannabis related stocks take a hit in value -- TransCanna’s stock price has risen by more than 200% since it’s initial public offering on the Canadian Stock Exchange on Tuesday, January 8, 2019. 

Facts to consider:

• Marijuana legalization and initiatives swept the US last year
• President Donald Trump signed the Farm Bill into law in December of last year which legalized industrial hemp cultivation
• Michigan became the 10^th state to legalize recreational marijuana during last year’s midterm elections
• Utah and Missouri both past medical marijuana legislation
• Recreational marijuana is now legal in 10 states
• Medical marijuana is legal in 33

TransCanna’s Business Model Will Benefit California's Legal Marijuana Ecosystem

California's legal marijuana ecosystem is in a state of complete mayham, but TransCanna can help.

An industry that has been projected to generate more than $6.5 billion ( Arcview Market Research) in revenue by 2020 remains grossly inadequate in terms of services provided throughout its ecosystem. Shortcomings in the pot industry in the state are apparent in a wide range of service sectors including branding and design, transportation and logistics, and sales.

TransCanna Holdings, Inc. (CSE: TCAN) (Frankfurt: TH8) through its California subsidiaries manages branding, transportation and distribution companies in California that assists pot cultivators and manufacturers in getting recognized by end-users and consumers.

Currently, the Company offers their client’s branding and design services but intends to roll-out distribution, transportation, and sales services in the near future.

TransCanna  Highlights

California’s legal marijuana industry is expected to hit $6.5 billion by 2020.

• 23 revenue-generating branding and design contracts have been acquired from Goodfellas.
• Establishing a vast distribution network in California.
• Planned future expansion into Canada, Washington, Oregon, Nevada, Colorado, and Arizona.
• Management has over 60 years of combined experience in California’s pot industry.

TransCanna’s Business Model

TransCanna, through its California subsidiaries, operates under a business-to-business model (B2B) that will allow them to consolidate the various aspects of California’s pot industry.

To do this, TransCanna will provide branding and design, distribution and transportation and marketing and sales services to cultivators and manufacturers. Currently, TransCanna is offering their branding and designing services to cultivators and manufacturers and is developing their transportation and distribution network within California.

Pending the approval of their licenses and permits, TransCanna intends to develop a large distribution network across California. The network will be comprised of up to five leases or acquired facilities in North San Diego, Adelanto, Culver City, Los Angeles, and Sacramento. Once the company has established its network and presence in California, they intend to expand their operations into Canada, Washington, Oregon, Nevada, Colorado and Arizona.

TransCanna’s management team has significant experience in California’s pot industry. Leading the way in experience, is TransCanna’s CEO James Pakulis who in 2010 to 2012 oversaw the growth of his company to over $16 million in annual revenue in two years. Recently he had been president of Lifestyle Delivery Systems and assisted in raising CDN$20 million for the company.

TransCanna Ends The Week On A High Note!

 

Cannabis Stocks and where to invest? U.S. or Canadian? 

 

TransCanna is traded on the Canadian and German stock exchange under the symbols CSE: TCAN and XETR:TH8. The company IPO'd on the Canadian Stock Exchange (CSE) @ $0.50 per unit on Jan. 8, 2019 and closed Friday Feb. 1, 2019 at $2.31 on the.

Hemp, CBD or just plain old recreational marijuana -- should investors focus on emerging opportunities with recreational cannabis, or stick with the large, established markets for medicinal and health-based uses?

Although investors in the cannabis sector are in basic agreement with respect to the remarkable future of this emerging industry, that’s where the agreement ends. But as some savvy financial analysts focus on the emerging opportunities within the recreational marijuana sector, others choose to bet on established markets for medicinal cannabis and health-based uses?

An October 2018 Investor Pulse Poll performed by Stockhouse indicated potential investors were remarkably bullish on various sectors of the cannabis industry. Some of the emerging cannabis sectors are cultivation, biopharma, edibles/infusion, clinics and data, capital/financing, and cannabis technology.

Predictably, some cannabis investors in North America are confused when it comes to when or where to invest their cannabis dollars. Should they invest in Canadian-based operations, or invest in U.S.-based operations?

While there is no single right answer to this question, as cannabis operations on both sides of the Border offer different advantages, the biggest advantage offered by investing in Canadian-based cannabis operations is simplicity and certainty.

And one Canadian-based cannabis company that’s poised to profit from this new reality is

TransCanna Holdings Inc.

The company "provides branding, transportation and distribution services through its wholly owned California subsidiaries," according to the company’s CEO Jim Pakulis.

A former CEO of WeedMaps, Pakulis has an extensive background in cultivating successful start-ups and real estate negotiations.

On Friday the company announced they’ve entered into a new option on a 196,000 ft.² California cultivation and distribution facility. In 2019 alone, TransCanna has secured a Temporary Distributor License from the State of California via their affiliation with TCM Distribution, Inc., and has signed a non-binding Letter of Intent to acquire Goodfellas Group, LLC, (“Goodfellas”).
