Below are the performances of the 5 largest Canadian cannabis LPs this week, in descending order, and MTD along with their Enterprise Value-to-Earnings Before Interest Taxes Depreciation and Amortization (EV/EBITDA) and any recent  news, commentary and/or analysis on each company. (The EV/EBITDA metric is a popular valuation tool that helps investors compare companies in order to make an investment decision. EV calculates a company's total value or assessed worth, while EBITDA measures a company's overall financial performance and profitability. The EV is divided by its EBITDA. Typically, when evaluating a company, an EV/EBITDA value below 10 is seen as healthy.):
