Viridian's Thursday Valuation Tracker
Frank Colombo, CFA | Director of Data Analytics | Viridian Capital Advisors
January 12, 2023 (Investorideas.com Newswire) This week's Viridian Value Tracker focuses on the valuation statistics of the 15 U.S Cultivation & Retail companies with over $100M market cap.
We aimed to establish benchmark year-end 2022 measures to gauge valuation changes during 2023.
Model Analysis
- The table below shows the quartiles, median, and average for the selected peer group on a range of valuation metrics. We tend to avoid using average measures due to the frequent presence of outliers.
- The median EV/ 2023 consensus EBITDA for the group is now 5.28x, near the bottom of the range we have seen over the last two years. The lowest quartile or lowest 25 of companies are below 3.89x 2023 EBITDA. Similarly, the highest 25% of companies are above 7.85x.
- We update these and other valuation measures weekly. The Valuation Tracker can filter from a database of over 350 companies in the Viridian Capital-defined 12 cannabis subsectors. We find that the more cohesive the selected peer group is, the more accurate the valuation measures become.
