Four Medical Cannabis Small Caps

It's no secret that small caps offer the potential for greater returns for those who can recognize companies trading at discounts to their intrinsic values. But many small-caps are unknown, leaving investors with an information shortfall. One way to mend this problem is by attending conferences to learn more about them.

One such small cap conference was held in virtual form in December by Benzinga, which featured small caps from across several categories and industries including medical cannabis. Here are four small caps which are endorsing a medical versus recreational divide within the cannabis industry.

Avicanna

Avicanna AVCNF is a Canadian vertically-integrated biotech biopharmaceutical company. Despite being Toronto-based, it is present also in the US, Europe and LATAM. Its hemp-derived products range across cosmetics, medical and pharmaceutical fields. More importantly, the company owns all intellectual property it is utilizing. Its established and proven low-cost vertical integration is what makes the company both organic and sustainable.

Avicanna's R&D efforts began at Johnson and Johnson's (NYSE : JNJ) innovation center JLABS. Its hemp-derived cosmetics under the range skincare CBD derma have clinical trials like acne and anti-aging behind it with results undergoing publication. The company claims this is the only known CBD trial with human application programme data.

It is also one of the two companies that has the licence to operate in Colombia with plans to launch in the UK this year. 91% of medical cannabis products on the market are oil-based whereas Avicanna claims their formula is much more advanced. Its pharmaceutical drugs address a pipeline of rare diseases such as neuropathic pain and inflammation related to COVID-19.

The company is aggressively expanding to doctor/practitioner and convenience channels.

Clever Leaves

Clever Leaves CLVR is best known for Latin America presence for medical cannabis in Colombia but it has a global cultivation footprint. The company went public through a SPAC in mid-December. It has the EU GMP certificate that only a few other companies including Aphria APHA have. Also, it is counting on the first mover advantage in Europe, with the opportunity being even bigger if you count Russia. In April last year, it announced a LATAM supply agreement with Canopy Growth CGC Corporation foreshadowing yet another B2B opportunity.

Outlook

Despite a global pandemic, many cannabis stocks had a great run in 2020 with some companies were even lucky enough to be deemed an essential business during the lockdowns. With greater expansion on the horizon for the cannabis sector, the life-changing potential for medical cannabis could be even greater. The above four small caps seem to have what it takes to catch that wave.
