American Cannabis MSO Portfolio Went UP 5% Last Week; Now +16% YTD

 

Introduction

The munKNEE American Cannabis MSO Portfolio is UP 15.9% YTD - and UP 5.2% last week - despite the fact that all its constituents are faring poorly in 4 key financial metrics expressed as a % of net revenue.

The financial metrics used in this analysis are a company's:

  • Gross Profit Margin is the profit remaining after subtracting the cost of goods sold from revenue. A high gross profit margin reflects how efficiently a company manages its operating expenses, i.e. how successfully a company is producing profit over and above its costs;
  • Selling General and Administration (SG&A) Expenses are the costs a company incurs to run its business, which include salaries, marketing, rent, utilities, and office supplies and the SG&A margin is the percentage of revenue consumed by these expenses and shows how much revenue is being absorbed by overhead costs;
  • Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) is the cash profit generated by a company's operations excluding non-recurring, irregular, and one-time items such as unrealized gains or losses; non-cash expenses (depreciation, amortization); litigation expenses; gains or losses on foreign exchange; goodwill impairments; non-operating income; and share-based compensation that may distort the EBITDA;
  • Net Profit or Loss Margin, or simply net margin, measures how much net income or profit a company generates as a percentage of its revenue. The net profit margin illustrates how much of each dollar in revenue collected by a company translates into profit.
