Nasdaq Past Champ (FLGC) Complete Tuesday AM Update (Breaking News This Morning)

MKM Partners Provides FLGC With $11.50 Target

January 11th

Good Morning,

Here's why FLGC needs to remain at the top of your watch-list today.

After the markets took a beating yesterday for the most part, FLGC was able to hold strong and bounce back towards the end of the session.

Dropping to a low of $1.61, FLGC may have found strong support as it recovered to close at $1.70 on the day.

FLGC was trading as high as $2.36 on January 4th. With that late day bounce yesterday, it may have begun the beginning of a healthy reversal near term.

On top of that, the company dropped this huge news today:

Flora Growth Completes Successful First Cann-a-bis Extraction Through New Facility, Initiates EU-GMP Certification Process

Now, pair that awesome news with the several oversold leaning technicals that Barchart was reporting at close yesterday:

  • 9-Day Relative Strength Index (RSI): 37.85%
  • 14-Day RSI: 36.86%
  • 14-Day Raw Stochastic: 12%
  • Williams' %R: 88%

All of these percentages signal those indicators to be leaning towards oversold areas.

Take a moment now and read my initial FLGC report before getting this past champ pulled up again quickly.

I've been tracking a past champ closely and think it could be on the verge of making another major statement in the markets.

After undertaking some recent, game-changing corporate actions, this company could soon be at the forefront of the "Green Leaf" revolution.

The Best Part?

We know how explosive this profile can be from past experience.

Brought to your attention back for the morning of May 24th, 2021, this profile opened up that session at $3.58.

All it did from there was rocket approximately $17.00+ to a high of $21.45 on August 16th, 2021.

That vertical eruption resulted in this profile surging approximately 499% in just a few short months.

See what I mean? Explosive.

Now with it trading around its 52-week lows, it may be hanging around extremely undervalued levels at this very moment.

But for how much longer???

For Monday, January 10th, there is only one Nasdaq profile to have at the top of your radar:

*Flora Growth Corp. (NASDAQ: FLGC)*

New Colombian Regulation Further Increases Revenue Potential

The President of Colombia has accepted and signed into effect some exciting revisions related to the existing Colombian cann-a-bis laws which allow for the:

  • Sale and export of raw cann-a-bis materials, namely dried flower, to international markets
  • Manufacturing, sale, and export of ingestible cann-a-binoid products in Colombia
  • Promotion and advertising of cann-a-bis brands and products in Colombia

These new regulations are expected to allow Flora to increase near-term and long-term revenue, optimize its product supply chain both domestically and abroad.(6)

$11.50 Price Target From MKM Partners

Highlights from the report:

1H21 Recap: Flora reported 1H21 revenue of $2mn with a 60% gross margin, generating a net loss of -$4mn (-$1mn adjusted for one-time expenses). Flora guided to 2H21 revenue of $9mn-$11mn exclusive of announced M&A (Heimat and Vessel with combined trailing 12 mo revenue of $14mn) and exclusive of dried flower shipments.

This organic guidance is a sharp acceleration led by Kasa Wholefoods/Tropi and Flora Lab/Flora Beauty. Importantly, these organic numbers ($9mn-$11mn) were above our initial estimates ($7.6mn in 2H). When we launched on Flora, our numbers did not include any changes to Colombian legislation, nor did they include contributions from M&A.

The deals, which could close shortly, and shipments of dried CB flower provide further upside to guidance (and our former numbers), setting the stage for run-rate annual revenue of >$40mn as Flora exits 2021. Importantly, it will take very little revenue growth for Flora to become profitable. At a 60% gross margin, Flora would need to generate just another $2mn in organic revenue to become profitable (assuming organic revenue doesn't carry much additional SG&A).

We are raising our 2H21 and FY22 estimates for better than expected organic growth (2H21 and FY22) and legislative changes (FY22 forward). We are now modeling $12mn (from $7.6mn) in 2H21 net sales and +$1.8mn in adjusted EBITDA (from $0.7mn).

With the higher estimates (incl. legislative changes) our price target is now $11.50 (from $6).

2022 Could Be A MONSTER Year For Revenue

Here's why...

Last month the company released this news: Flora Growth Provides 2022 Revenue Guidance of US$35-45Mn; Sets Date for Year End Review Webinar

This incorporates revenue contributions from its various operating divisions, including recently acquired Vessel Brand and wholesale cann-a-bis revenues from Cosechemos.

It also didn't hurt that the FLGC followed that news up with a bombshell to kick-off 2022.

Check it out:

Let's switch gears for a second and focus on what makes FLGC truly unique.

Colombia: A Potential Game-changer In The Global Cann-a-bis Industry (And How Flora Growth Corp. Could Benefit Greatly)

Long known for its illicit drug trade, Colombia is also a hotbed for agricultural businesses which include everything from coffee to bananas and cut flowers.

These commodities have made Colombia a force in the global market and cann-a-bis could be the next big economic breakout for this developing country.

Roughly 5 years ago, the Colombian government signed the 1787 bill into law. Law 1787 was created to regulate the use of medicinal cann-a-bis and its trade in the country.(4)

By doing this, Colombia joined a slew of other countries looking to explore the potential advantages of using cann-a-bis as an alternative to pharmaceuticals.

Legislators soon saw to create a legal framework allowing for cultivation, extraction, product manufacturing, and exporting of cann-a-bis-related products.

This is where Flora Growth Corp. (NASDAQ: FLGC) comes into play.

"Given its cost advantages, we believe Colombia is positioned to become a major global export hub for cann-a-bis, particularly if producers pursue EU GMP-compliant operating practices." - Canaccord Genuity(1)

The Cosechemos cultivation farm, Flora’s core division, is located in Bucaramanga, Colombia, and is licensed to cultivate 247 acres (100 hectares) of cann-a-bis.

With Cosechemos' demonstrated low production costs, Flora is ready to sell high-quality cann-a-bis at competitive prices.

Cosechemos has launched three successful pilot crop plantings consisting of 4.94 acres with impressive results(1):

  • 30 varieties of non-psychoactive cann-a-bis tested. Demonstrated production cost of $0.06/gram.
  • Optimized cultivation strategy, yielding over 125 grams/plant.
  • Initiated third-party organic and GACP certification in Ql 2020.
  • Cosechemos' extraction facility is currently under construction, with completion expected in Q3 2021. It will be built to EU-GM P standards, and immediately seek EU-GMP certification, Cosechemos plans to cultivate 49 acres in 2021; 9 acres for CB and 40 acres for T-H-C.
  • Additionally, Cosechemos holds rights to an additional 5,268 acres licensed in Puerto Boyaca, Santander, to increase the scale of its cultivation as required.(1)

FLGC: More Than A Cann-a-bis Cultivator
