Deep Value: cash covers more than 100% of the stock price

This company holds roughly $289M in cash and investments — more than its entire stock-market value, based on its latest quarterly filing. You're paying very little for the actual business. Sometimes that's a genuine bargain or a takeover target, sometimes it's cheap for a reason. Not a buy signal on its own — always ask why it's this cheap.

Winston Score History

The full picture

Canopy Growth is a Canadian cannabis company that grows, packages, and sells marijuana and hemp products. Its brands include Tweed and Storz & Bickel, and it sells to adult recreational users, medical patients, and businesses in the cannabis supply chain. It is one of the largest licensed cannabis producers in Canada by revenue history, though the industry remains highly competitive.

The company earns money by selling dried cannabis flower, oils, edibles, vaporizers, and related products through retail stores and online channels in Canada, Germany, and the United States hemp market. Canopy has faced years of heavy losses, and its operating margin is deeply negative, meaning it spends far more than it earns. The biggest risk the company faces is achieving profitability before its cash runs out, as the broader cannabis industry has struggled with oversupply, price compression, and slower-than-expected legalization progress in key markets like the United States.
