Jefferies Analyst Pricing Aurora Cannabis and 4 other Pot shares as buyer
Warehouse research firm Jefferies launched the coverage of the cannabis business Monday with a note from analyst Owen Bennett, who started reviews on nine companies, while it estimates that the offense sector will reach $ 50 billion in annual sales over the next decade vs. just $ 17 billion this year.
Bennett also said that a "realistic" bullish case could see the industry enjoying as much as $ 130 billion in revenue in 2029 thanks to power disruptive nature.
"We see a conservative industry size of over $ 50 billion by 2029 and a realistic upside-down of $ 130 billion on broader industry disturbances," he wrote. "Global winners are those who lead both medical and recreational and have a strong position in the United States. Fear of commoditization is exaggerated. Expect to see further consolidation, take more [mainstream consumer-goods companies] positions and near-time focus that shift to performance vs. headlines / capacity expectations."
