10. Dark Horse MSO Hollister Biosciences Posts Blowout Earnings
As Another Cannabis Earnings Season Comes to a Close, the Financial Results From Some of the Smaller U.S. Multi-State Operators (MSOs) Have Fallen Under the Radar, Despite Posting Awe-Inspiring Numbers
A perfect example of an under-the-radar company that recently posted stellar earnings is Hollister Biosciences (CSE: HOLL) (OTC: HSTRF) (FRA: HOB), which saw its Q4 and full-year 2020 revenue skyrocket +3,243% and +2,960% year over year, respectively. Hollister followed that up with a blowout Q1 2020 earnings report, which saw the company’s revenue surge another +97% over Q4 (+2,332% YoY) and featured net income of $2 million and adjusted EBITDA of $2.8 million. In addition to Hollister’s strengthening fundamentals, the rapidly rising cannabis MSO also holds a significant stake in the burgeoning psychedelics industry, making HOLL stock one of the more unique, “best of both worlds” investment opportunities.
9. The Billion-Dollar Magic Mushroom Enterprise | COMPASS Pathways
COMPASS Pathways Is a Mental Healthcare Company Focused on Accelerating Patient Access to Evidence-Based Medical Innovation
That is a fancy way of saying the company is using magic mushrooms to treat what is largely untreatable; depression and specifically treatment-resistant depression (TRD). If Compass Pathways (NASDAQ: CMPS) successfully demonstrates its proprietary formulations can aid patients with depression in its ongoing Phase II and, eventually, Phase III clinical trials, the potential for the company huge. Results of its Phase IIB clinical trials are expected to be released at the end of FY 2021.
8. Cronos: Raymond James Reiterates Price Target After PharmaCann Investment
Yesterday, Cronos Group Showed Once Again That the Demand for U.S Cannabis Assets is High With Their Strategic Investment in One of the Larger Private Operators, PharmaCann
Cronos Group (TSX: CRON) (NASDAQ: CRON) (FRA: 7CI) is investing $110.4 million for a 10.5% potential ownership stake via a call option as Cronos cannot own U.S cannabis assets if they want to keep their shares trading on the tier one exchanges. This deal values PharmaCann at roughly $1.05 billion. This announcement seems like it has not affected analysts’ outlook on Cronos, with the weighted 12-month price target stuck at C$9.38, or a downside of roughly 13%.

5. Former CEO J.R. Rahn: A Casualty Of MindMed’s Profound Early Success
One of the Most Vital Positions in Any Company is Undoubtedly the Chief Executive Officer (CEO)
In the most ideal of circumstances, a CEO can serve as beacon leadership that guides their company from one successful venture to the next. Worst case scenario, a subpar CEO can lumber from one questionable decision to another and drag an otherwise successful company into the muck with them. This leadership paradigm can be most keenly felt in the world of biotech. Just because an executive is a good manager and skilled at fundraising, that does not mean that will necessarily translate into the skills necessary to take a biotech company to the next level. Case in point: earlier this week MindMed (NEO: MMED) (NASDAQ: MNMD) (FRA: MMQ) announced that its CEO, J.R. Rahn, would be stepping down effective immediately.
