friends,
Fifteen weeks ago we pointed it out few investors care about Vireo Growthand it remains so. Vireo Growth (VREOF) has declined significantly in 2026 and is near its lows. Here is what it and MSOS have done since the 2024 election.
Vireo did a reverse split on June 5, issuing 1 new share for every 30 shares previously outstanding. Dividing the current price by 30 allows investors to judge the performance of equity sales at the end of 2024. It was a big capital raise when the company sold shares at $0.625 for $81 million in proceeds. The current price of $9.44 is well below this level.
The company, as we discussed before, has done so much. Since that last article, it announced the acquisition of Planet 13 (PLNH) and announced that it is acquiring certain assets of The Cannabist Company. It also shut down a Pennsylvania dispensary, PhytoNatural, its entry into the state. In June, it completed the purchase of Bridgewell Agribusiness, expanding its ancillary operations and announced dispensary acquisitions in Maryland and Nevada. It also agreed to buy C21 Investments (CXXIF).
In addition to the capital it recently raised in 2024, Vireo has relied on Chicago Atlantic (REFI), which will soon merge with Chicago Atlantic BDC (LIEN). Vireo’s CEO joined from Chicago Atlantic in late 2024.
So Vireo continues to do a lot of M&A, both in private and public companies. Investors continue to be impressed, in my opinion. The average trading value in VREOF for the last month was only 13 thousand shares per day. Stocks are down, and so are acquired companies.
Recent investors aren’t happy, but Vireo Growth’s pool of disgruntled owners runs very deep, as the company issued a lot of stock as part of its M&A. Perhaps more importantly, Chicago Atlantic’s stock is collapsing.
This further decline in Vireo Growth is a big red flag for hemp stocks.
Sincerely,
Alan:

Statistics Canada released March retail sales for the country, with Cannabis sales are on the rise from the level of February, increasing by 7.4% compared to the previous month and making C$471.4 million. Sequential growth was down 4.0% on a daily basis due to fewer days in the previous month. February, originally reported at C$440.5 million, was revised lower to C$439.1 million. Sales rose 6.2% in March from a year ago, down 7.6% from the previous month, and 8.3% in May and 7.5% in June, but better than last year’s slowest growth rate since legalization of -0.9% in September 2024 due to the BC strike. Total sales are expected to increase by 4.5% to C$5.39 billion in 2024 and by 4.1% to C$5.62 billion in 2025. So far in 2026, sales are up 7.7%.
An increase in the number of shops, as well as a fall in the prices of flowers that attract consumers from the illegal market, have boosted sales. In Ontario, the most populous province, sales rose 14.1% from February and 4% from a year ago. Alberta was up 9.1% from February, but down 3% from last year. British Columbia was down 12.6% from February and up 25% from a year ago, while Quebec was up 10.4% from February and up 2% from a year ago.

friends,
Many more cannabis companies reported Q1 financials this week. While NCV did not run any of those press releases, all data has been updated in the New Cannabis Ventures Public Cannabis Company Revenue & Income Tracker. The largest companies reporting in US dollars all reported, and the eleven companies that reported for the Q1 ended in March (excluding Tilray Brands, which is due to report its Q4 later this month) saw an average year-over-year revenue increase of 31% in their cannabis businesses.
Excluding Vireo Growth, that average comes to -0.7%, which is lower, especially after accounting for inflation, and a sign of continued challenges for the hemp industry. Speaking of Vireo, I’ve pointed out how investors didn’t care, and they still don’t. An average of just 375,000 shares traded per day over the past month, and the stock, which closed at $0.415, continues to trade off the level of its late 2024 capital raise and the price at which the company issued shares to make multiple acquisitions.
April was a big month for hemp stocks, but prices fell in May. The NCV Global Cannabis Stock Index rose 8.8% to 5.70 in April, but fell 2.8% to 5.54 in May. The year-to-year change of this index, which now covers 23 stocks, was -15.9%. Since its peak in early 2021, the GCSI is down 94%. Many are excited about the medical cannabis realignment that took place in April, although it remains unclear whether cannabis will be completely overhauled. The Department of Justice will hold hearings in late June to discuss adult-use cannabis, and it could be. If so, 280E tax would be removed, and this would be very good. I’ve written a lot about this since late 2022 when I highlighted it The potential end of 280E as a major catalyst.
The investor base in cannabis stocks has shrunk due to capital losses and fewer people interested in the sector. Institutions were more interested in high prices and maybe they would enter the field. 280E remains a big story, and not only is it being delayed by the limited realignment that’s already been completed, it’s unclear how unpaid taxes from the last few years will be treated.
NCV has stopped publishing most cannabis news, although we continue to update the financial calendar as well as the earnings rankings. After more than 10 years with NCV and more than a dozen years with 420 Investor, I am in the process of moving on. This is probably the last weekly newsletter. I’ve appreciated sharing the news and my views here, and I want to wish everyone the best. Hopefully, 280E taxation will be fully completed and the bear market that began in early 2021 for the hemp sector will be over.
Stay on top of the most important communications from public companies by watching what’s coming cannabis investor calendar.
