Welcome to episode 76 of The 5-Minute Investor Podcast, where Stockhouse columnists Jonathon Brown and me, Trevor Abes, each deliver a 2.5-minute profile on a stock related to recent investment news.
This week, the cannabis industry continues to struggle with margin compression stemming from a strong competitive environment, as well as the slow pace of legalization, forcing major players to put forth and/or fend off acquisition offers with increasing frequency. The latest example, Curaleaf’s attempted takeover of Aurora Cannabis, is well worth breaking down.
