Best Marijuana Stocks To Watch In April 2022
- The Scotts Miracle-Gro Company (NYSE: SMG)
- Village Farms International, Inc. (NASDAQ: VFF)
The Scotts Miracle-Gro Company
Scotts Miracle-Gro, one of the world’s largest marketers of branded consumer lawn and gardening products, has entered the cannabis sector. The company’s fully owned subsidiary, Hawthorne Gardening, is a well-known distributor of cannabis fertilizers, lighting, and hydroponic equipment. On January 6th, Scotts added Luxx Lighting and True Liberty Bags to the Hawthorne portfolio. Hawthorne’s industry-leading lighting portfolio will be strengthened because of the purchase. Despite the slowing of Hawthorne sales, the business maintained its full-year projection.
On March 8th, Scotts published a business update, decreasing its Hawthorne and non-GAAP adjusted EPS forecasts. Hawthorne sales are expected to dip 15-25 percent because of an overabundance of cannabis, which is creating a delay in indoor and outdoor growth. On March 31st the company announced that a company it backed RIV Capital is buying a New York cannabis company Etain.
Words From The CFO
“We believe Hawthorne sales have found the bottom in terms of average daily volume,” Miller explained. “However, there is a seasonal element to the business that would normally be in play by now that has not materialized to the extent we anticipated. While sales volume has begun to improve recently, the year-over-year rate of decline has expanded, and that trend appears likely to carry through March.”
Chief Financial Officer Cory Miller
