Company Report

Aurora Cannabis: Slashing Fair Value Estimates as Small Size Handicaps Its Competitiveness

After reviewing no-moat Aurora Cannabis’s fiscal fourth-quarter results, we’ve slashed our fair value estimates to $9.50 and CAD 13 per share, down from $16.50 and CAD 22.50, respectively. Despite trading well below our fair value estimates, we see significant idiosyncratic risk in Aurora and see better risk-adjusted upside in no-moat US multistate operators Curaleaf and Green Thumb.

Price vs Fair Value

ACB is trading at a 877% premium.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

Aurora is now generating consistent positive adjusted EBITDA, so free cash flow is eventual. The need for dilutive share issuances should fall.

Bears

Aurora has repeatedly issued equity at massive discounts to our fair value estimate, diluting existing shareholders and destroying value. There's a risk it'll do it again.
