Cannabis: A Boom to the Solar Markets, Too

ACCESSWIRE - finance.yahoo.com Posted 5 years ago

HENDERSON, NV / ACCESSWIRE / April 2, 2019 / Cannabis stocks are obviously red hot right now. However, most investors are looking solely at growers and manufacturers of weed, CBD, or hemp-infused products and fail to recognize the operations side of the cannabis industry.

One sector getting a major boost from cannabis is solar energy, partly due to the high energy requirements of indoor grow facilities and the cannabis industry. With this growing need, the future of electricity may be defined by microgrids-a greener and more safeguarded alternative to traditional and massive regional power grids.

Investing in microgrid tech is tough because there aren't many pure play microgrid companies. However, CleanSpark, Inc. (CLSK) is one of the few. The company is one of the US's top microgrid solutions according to Navigant Research, who added them to their top 10 in 2018. They have made deals across the board including a $900k contract to install a CLSK microgrid at a U.S. Marine Corps Base, as well as an $18.3 million deal with NYSE company MAC.

Today we are highlighting a variety of Cannabis Plays, including: CleanSpark, Inc. (CLSK), The Green Organic Dutchman Holdings Ltd. (TGODF), New Age Beverages Corporation. (NBEV), CannTrust Holdings Inc. (CTST), and FSD Pharma Inc. (FSDDF).

CleanSpark, Inc. (CLSK) (Market Cap: $142.312M; Share Price: $3.43) has a chance to not only be one of the top microgrid and renewable growth performers this year, but the company also has a firm foot in the cannabis market. They have created a solution for the cannabis industry that can help growers save as much as 82% on electricity costs. According to their latest press release, the company is focusing its marketing efforts on the largest users in the cannabis market - the agricultural (grow) facilities. This can serve as a strong potential source of revenues in the coming years. The company hopes to get its first contract soon in 2019.

CLSK just closed a $5 million round of funding, recently completed the acquisition of Intellectual Property of Pioneer Power Solutions, Inc., which is expected to add $3.6 million in gross sales to CLSK's bottom line during early 2019 alone and is working on an up listing.

Last week, the Canadian pot company, CannTrust Holdings Inc. (CTST) (Market Cap: $846.465M; Share Price $8.01), lost nearly 20% of its value after reporting fourth-quarter earnings on Thursday. The issue was the company's disappointing revenue haul of CA$16.2 million (roughly $12.1 million at current exchange rates) over the course of Q4, and the fact that the company's net loss of CA$0.26 per share far exceeded Wall Street's consensus estimate for the three-month period of CA$0.04 per share. As per its latest quarterly update, CannTrust has entered into letters of intent to secure an additional 200 acres of land slated for a massive outdoor grow facility. The company suggested that this new acreage could boost its annual peak output by 100,000 to 200,000 kg per year as soon as 2020. A total peak annual output of 200,000 kg would put CannTrust into the top six Canadian producers overall; a 300,000 kg annual haul, on the other hand, would catapult the company solidly into third place -- behind only Aurora and Canopy Growth in terms of peak cultivation capacity.

CannTrust is a federally regulated licensed producer, bringing more than 40 years of pharmacy and healthcare experience to the medical cannabis industry. They apply this expertise to produce standardized medical cannabis for patients in need, that has earned them the title of the 2018 Canadian Cannabis Awards "Top Licensed Producer of the Year." FSD Pharma Inc. (FSDDF) (Market Cap: 245.634M; Share Price: $0.177) recently announced the signing of a consulting agreement with Joseph L. Romano, a well-respected lawyer with a strong track-record in personal injury law. Mr. Romano has been working with medical cannabis since 2006, assisting people coping with chronic pain to have access to medical cannabis, a viable alternative to opioid based medications. In consideration for his services, FSD will pay Mr. Romano consulting fees, warrants and shares in the company, subject to compliance with all applicable securities laws and the policies of the Canadian Securities Exchange. FSD Pharma Inc., through its subsidiary, FV Pharma Inc., produces medical cannabis in Canada. The company focuses on the development of the indoor grown pharmaceutical grade cannabis; and research and development of various cannabinoid-based treatments for various central nervous system disorders, including chronic pain, fibromyalgia, and irritable bowel syndrome.
