Recommendation: Weak
Abattis Bioceuticals is focused on becoming a fully integrated cannabis company by building a strong portfolio of assets including it’s flagship cultivation asset in British Columbia’s Gabriola Island, acquisition of 140 genetic strains, and a portfolio of nutrients formulated for emerging cannabis markets.
Abattis recently signed a distribution agreement with Shefield & Sons Tobacconists to sell its vaporizer line. They have acquired a number of companies over the year in their pursuit of being a vertically integrated company with operational interests in cultivating, extracting, testing and the retail distribution of cannabis.
Abattis recently completed a $25 million equity line agreement with Dutchess Opportunity Fund to file a registration statement with the U.S. SEC. According to agreement, This will cover the Abattis shares that may be issued to Dutchess under this financing.
Will its stock price improve in the long term? Less Likely
Abattis has a very strong liquidity position through equity offerings and the company is in a position to support its expansion strategies. Their strong liquidity position can be helpful for them in early stages of starting operations.
Abattis took a lot of toxic debt and notes in the past which they later converted into common shared at an extreme discount rate. This should be very concerning for investors. Early in 2019, the trading of Abattis common shares was halted as they failed to file their year end financial statements.
Abattis’ return on total asset (ROA) was 6.69 % which implies that it made a profit of $6.69 on every $100 spent on asset. This is normal as compared to the industry average. However, it showed return on equity (ROE) of (139.36) % which means that it generated huge losses on money invested by shareholders.
For these reasons, we think Abattis, at or near the its current price of $0.0189 a share, can be good investment opportunity—however as the price rises this opportunity will eventually disappear.
Recommendation: Weak
Abattis Bioceuticals Corp. engages in the aggregation, integration, and investment in agricultural technologies and biotechnology services for the legal cannabis industry developing in Canada. It produces, markets, and licenses proprietary ingredients and formulas for use in the biopharma, nutraceutical, cosmetic, and animal nutrition markets.
