Why do we recommend investing in CannTrust?
While CannTrust’s valuation, using its enterprise value to sales ratio of 18, is not as high as some competitors in the current industry, it is still high for any other industry and is expected to settle down significantly in the coming few years as the Canadian and global market starts to mature. To do this, either revenue must grow without share price moving up or share price must move down. Using the tobacco industry as a comparison, which has an industry average price to sales ratio of 5, we gather that these shares are priced for revenue roughly 3.5 higher, about $107 million.
