Cannabis Winners in 2018 Poised for a Bigger 2019

HENDERSON, NV / ACCESSWIRE / December 12, 2018 / Here are some of the best ways to play the cannabis market.

Today we are highlighting: CleanSpark, Inc. (CLSK), Canopy Growth Corporation (CGC), GW Pharmaceuticals plc (GWPH), MariMed, Inc. (MRMD), and Exelon Corporation (EXC).

The $3.5 billion cannabis industry is one of the nation's most energy intensive, often demanding 24-hour indoor lighting rigs, heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems at multiplying grow sites. Legal cannabis cultivation in the U.S. consumes an estimated 1.1 terawatt-hours of electricity a year, according to the 2018 Cannabis Energy Report, published by Scale Microgrid Solutions along with New Frontier Data and the Resource Innovation Institute. Companies managing these solutions are great ways to diversify your cannabis industry risk.

Indoor growers are looking to cut spiraling electricity consumption with custom-built microgrids in U.S. states where cannabis cultivation is legal.

A company that seems to be in the right place at the right time to capitalize on this huge market inefficiency is CleanSpark, Inc. (CLSK) (Market Cap: $88.787M Share Price: $2.43).

CLSK has a unique microgrid solution for the cannabis industry. Their mPulse software reduces the monthly electricity bill of indoor grow-houses by up to 82%! They do this by virtually eliminating the demand charges that can account for almost 50% of the utility charges for such a facility.

Pressure is mounting on the cannabis industry to improve its margins after a lackluster 3^rd quarter; companies like CLSK can help do just that.

CLSK also just released an impressive letter to shareholders highlighting: an agreement for an $18.3 million 'Zero Net Energy' Microgrid with an S&P 500 Member Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT), near completion on a $900,000 contract to install a 'turn-key advanced microgrid system' at the U.S. Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, awarded 2 patents, and updated an acquisition that could be a huge boost to the company's year end revenues.

CLSK's acquisition, Pioneer Custom Electrical Products, has delivered $32 million in products since 2016 and has $5 million in backlog. They have also received a $2.4 million equipment order as part of a contract for the new U.S. Embassy in Beirut, Lebanon which should end up on CLSK's balance sheet.

____

Canopy Growth Corporation (CGC) (Market Cap: $11.366B Share Price: $33.16) made big news earlier this year receiving investment capital from Constellation Brands and announced recently that it has entered into two agreements with 48North Cannabis Corp. 48North will supply Canopy Growth with dried cannabis produced from high-grade, unique genetics, grown at 48North's wholly-owned facility, DelShen Therapeutics Corp. The total volume of the Supply Agreement is estimated to be a minimum of 1,200 kilograms and deliverable over the course of 12 months.

_____

GW Pharmaceuticals plc (GWPH) (Market Cap: $3.978B Share Price: $122.99), a cannabis biotech company, touting its Epidiolex drug and earlier-stage programs Sativex and CBDV which could become major catalysts for the stock in the near-term.

_____

MariMed, Inc. (MRMD)(Market Cap: $762.713M Share Price: $3.59) currently distributes its branded products in select states and is expanding licensing and distribution to numerous additional markets encompassing thousands of dispensaries. MariMed Inc. is one of the 17 top-performing public cannabis companies in the U.S. tracked on the U.S. Marijuana Index.

_____

Like CLSK, Exelon Corporation (EXC) (Market Cap: $45.343B Share Price: $46.89) is a cannabis energy play. EXC utilities had a strong showing in this year's Grid Modernization Index (GMI), available at www.gridwise.org. Illinois, Maryland and the District of Columbia scored in the top 10 and all states served by Exelon's utilities - Atlantic City Electric, BGE, ComEd, Delmarva Power, PECO and Pepco - are in the top 25 in the report.
