Wall Street warns of an impending crisis at Hexo

What happened

I like things that go "boom." Sonic or otherwise, that means I tend to gravitate towards defense and aerospace stocks. But to tell the truth, over the course of a dozen years writing for The Motley Fool, I have covered -- and continue to cover -- everything from retailers to consumer goods stocks, and from tech to banks to insurers as well.

So what

Marijuana investors are in a funk today, as shares of Hexo ( NASDAQ:HEXO) drop 9.7%, Aurora Cannabis ( NASDAQ:ACB) declines 7.2%, and Sundial Growers ( NASDAQ:SNDL) falls 5.5%, as of 12:40 p.m. ET. There's a reason why Hexo stock is down so much more than the others, too.

Now what

And when I say "Wall Street," I mean investment banks CIBC and Canaccord Genuity. In twin reports this morning, CIBC downgraded Hexo stock to a sell with a price target of just $0.62 per share, and Canaccord cut its price target on Hexo in half -- to $0.77 -- says The Fly.

What happened?

Such massive stock dilution easily explains why investors are panicking over Hexo stock today. But is the situation as bad at Aurora Cannabis and Sundial Growers? Are the sell-offs at those stocks justified as well?

So what?

The small-cap stock continued to drop since announcing its losses late last year and even since appointing a new chief financial officer at the beginning of 2022. Hexo announced a loss of $116.9 million in the first quarter, along with a “new strategic plan” to reduce costs and create synergies.

Now what?

While Hexo management has moved on, investors it seems have as well. Hexo right now looks like a loss at a time when investors aren’t looking for risk in their portfolio. The company didn’t maintain internal control over financial reporting, and that has to change.

Stock Advisor Canada Returns

Let’s say Hexo checks all of these boxes. Is it still the cannabis company you want in your portfolio long term? Probably not. Supply and demand remain an incredible problem for cannabis companies. Meanwhile, the days of unprofitable marijuana companies should soon be over. Whether that means Hexo is purchased or collapses remains to be seen.

What happened

Returns since inception, October 2013. Current as of February 25, 2022.

So what

Marijuana stocks are in trouble Friday, as shares of Canadian cannabis company Hexo (NASDAQ: HEXO) tumbled 7% by 11 a.m. EDT after it reported yet another money-losing quarter.

Now what

Reporting on its fiscal fourth-quarter and full-year 2021 results, Hexo noted that sales grew 43% year over year for the quarter ($38.7 million Canadian dollars) and 53% for the year (C$123.5 million). Hexo boasted that this made fiscal Q4 2021 its "best quarter of sales to date."

What happened?

Hexo didn't go into much detail on the loss, preferring to keep the focus on its growing sales, but investors seem to have noticed.

So what?

Ottawa-based cannabis giant HEXO has had an impressive run this year. Over the first half of 2021, the stock surged roughly 75%. It’s still nowhere close to its all-time high of $31, but this rebound served as a reprieve for long-term shareholders.

Now what?

It’s worth noting that the company’s “context of the market” stipulation means they’re going to try to get the best price for their stock. I can’t predict the future, but I believe the recent drop may encourage the team to hold off from issuing units at this current lower price. The smartest move is to wait for investor sentiment to recover.

So what

Shares of Hexo Corp (NYSEMKT: HEXO) dropped 8.5% in Thursday trading after the Canadian producer of marijuana in dried, oil, and powder forms reported fiscal Q3 2019 earnings that "beat" expectations -- but sales that fell short.

Now what

While sales may not have quite met expectations, they were still up dramatically year over year -- nearly 1,000%, when compared to the CA$1.2 million in "net revenue from sale of goods" that Hexo reported in the year-ago quarter. Sales may have been impacted by falling prices for marijuana in Canada.
