On Friday, former Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) CEO Steve Ballmer expressed concern that President Donald Trump&#8217;s <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/44631606/trumps-tariff-exemptions-include-semiconductors-pharmaceuticals-oil-and-more">new tariffs could lead</a> to global turmoil and negatively impact consumers, especially as Microsoft's stock faces a 14.03% drop year-to-date.
What Happened: In an <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/04/04/former-microsoft-ceo-steve-ballmer-on-trump-tariffs-not-good.html">interview</a> with CNBC, Ballmer warned that the U.S. government's escalating tariffs would have far-reaching effects on the economy, including significant challenges for consumers and investors.
"As a Microsoft shareholder, this kind of thing is not good," he stated, noting that the new tariffs on imported goods—affecting over 100 countries—would likely create significant disruption, particularly in industries reliant on global trade, like tech.
"I took just enough economics in college — that tariffs are actually going to bring some turmoil," Ballmer added.
Ballmer, who has been involved with Microsoft since its early days, spoke alongside Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates and current CEO Satya Nadella at a celebration marking the company's 50th anniversary.
Ballmer, now the owner of the Los Angeles Clippers, called himself Microsoft&#8217;s largest individual shareholder. A regulatory filing from 2014, the same year he purchased the Clippers for $2 billion, revealed that he owned more than 333 million Microsoft shares at the time.

Why It Matters: Earlier this week, Microsoft reportedly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/44645946/microsoft-halts-data-center-expansions-due-to-semiconductor-tariff-concerns-ai-overcapacity-fears">halted the launch of some</a> of its data center projects, both in the U.S. and internationally, despite committing $80 billion this fiscal year to AI-driven data center infrastructure.
Previously, Jeremy Siegel, a finance professor emeritus at Wharton School, <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44648557/trumps-tariffs-could-be-worse-than-smoot-hawley-act-jeremy-siegel-tells-cnbc">compared Trump&#8217;s tariff policy</a> to the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act of 1930, which is often blamed for exacerbating the Great Depression.
Jim Cramer also criticized the tariffs <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/04/44642302/jim-cramer-slams-trumps-new-tariffs-despite-calling-himself-pro-tariff-labels-it-a-manmade-disaster">as a &#8220;manmade disaster,&#8221;</a> arguing they are not reciprocal and could cause significant market harm.
Conversely, JPMorgan analyst Thomas Kennedy sees tariffs as a potential catalyst for significant long-term transformation. He suggests that the age of globalization is over.

Trinh Nguyen, senior economist for emerging Asia at Natixis, told CNBC earlier that the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44625309/teacher-would-laugh-and-say-sit-down-top-analyst-compares-trumps-reciprocal-tariff-calculations-to-a-9th-graders-economics-project">U.S. tariff strategy is primarily focused</a> on addressing trade imbalances rather than ensuring parity in tariff or non-tariff measures.
She explained that this approach poses a significant challenge for many Asian nations, especially those with lower income levels, as it demands they purchase more American goods than they export to the U.S., a target that is difficult to achieve in the short term.

Former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer Says Trump's New Tariffs Could Spark Global Turmoil, Hurt Consumers As Satya Nadella-Led MSFT's Stock Drops 14% YTD

The U.S. markets faced a severe downturn as tensions between the U.S. and China escalated following the announcement of<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44616760/donald-trump-sets-reciprocal-tariffs-on-key-trade-partners-in-historic-policy-shock"> new tariffs by President</a> Donald Trump.
What Happened: The stock market experienced a significant downturn on Friday, with S&amp;P 500 companies losing $5 trillion in value since Trump announced extensive tariffs on Wednesday, according to a report by Reuters.
The Nasdaq confirmed it was in a bear market, dropping over 20% from its record high. Oil and other commodity prices also saw a sharp decline. This $5 trillion loss marked a record two-day drop for the S&amp;P 500, surpassing the $3.3 trillion loss in March 2020 during the pandemic, as per LSEG data compiled by Reuters.
In response to Trump&#8217;s tariffs, China announced additional levies of 34% on U.S. goods, heightening fears of a global trade war. Trump imposed a 10% tariff on most U.S. imports, with higher levies on several countries, creating the steepest trade barriers in over a century.

All three major U.S. stock indexes faced their largest weekly percentage losses since March 2020. The<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44642131/volatility-gauge-vix-surges-to-an-8-month-high-more-fear-more-opportunity-says-analyst"> Cboe Volatility Index</a> surged to its highest level since April 2020.
Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell commented on the unexpected size of Trump&#8217;s tariffs,<a href="https://benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44648681/powell-cites-tariff-driven-inflation-risks-shrugs-off-trumps-call-for-perfect-time-to-cut-rates"> predicting higher inflation</a> and slower growth. Meanwhile, JP Morgan increased its recession forecast to a 60% chance by year-end.
Why It Matters: The announcement of reciprocal tariffs by President Trump on April 2, 2025, marked a significant shift in U.S. trade policy. Described as &#8220;our Declaration of Economic Independence,&#8221; the tariffs aimed to rebalance trade relationships by imposing duties on imports from key partners.
The immediate impact was a massive sell-off in global markets, with<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44631916/wall-street-wipes-out-2-trillion-apple-eyes-worst-day-since-covid-19-pandemic-oil-plummets-whats-driving-markets-thursday"> Wall Street erasing $2 trillion</a> in market cap on Thursday.

(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) experienced substantial losses, reflecting investor concerns over the potential for a prolonged trade war.
Despite a strong U.S. labor market, with 228,000 jobs added in March, the fear of escalating trade tensions<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44647678/nasdaq-100-enters-bear-market-dow-in-correction-territory-as-traders-anxiously-await-powell-remarks"> overshadowed positive economic indicators</a>. The tariffs have been likened to the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act of 1930, which worsened the Great Depression, raising concerns about the global economic outlook.

Trump Tariffs Erode $5 Trillion In Market Cap In 2 Days As China Retaliates, Jerome Powell Warns Of Inflation

The ongoing negotiations over TikTok's U.S. operations have been delayed after China signaled its opposition to the proposed sale. President Donald Trump has extended the deadline for ByteDance's divestment <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44645172/china-retaliates-with-34-tariff-on-all-us-imports-urges-trump-to-immediately-cancel-the-tariffs-calls-for-negotiation">due to the tariff hikes</a>.
What Happened: On Friday, President Trump announced an extension of the deadline for ByteDance to sell its U.S. operations of the popular video-sharing app TikTok.
The new deadline, extended by 75 days, was <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/03/44350823/oracle-reportedly-in-talks-with-white-house-over-project-texas-20-to-manage-tiktok-amid-security-concerns">initially set to expire</a> on Saturday under a 2024 law that mandates ByteDance sell TikTok's U.S. assets or face a potential ban.
The delay comes after China expressed strong disapproval of the deal, a stance that has now complicated the negotiations, reported Reuters, citing two people familiar with the matter.

The deal was reportedly <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/general/social-media/25/03/44563161/trump-says-tiktok-has-a-lot-of-potential-buyers-deal-to-come-before-saturday-deadline">near completion by Wednesday</a>, with the structure set to spin off TikTok&#8217;s U.S. operations into a new company. This new company would have been based in the U.S. and majority-owned by U.S. investors, with ByteDance maintaining a minority stake of less than 20%.
However, as tensions escalated over the U.S.-China trade relations and the recently introduced tariffs, China's opposition halted the deal.
The Chinese government, via the Chinese Embassy in Washington, said, "China has stated its position on TikTok on multiple occasions. China has always respected and protected the legitimate rights and interests of enterprises and opposed practices that violate the basic principles of the market economy."

This response followed President Trump's decision to implement a new round of tariffs, increasing duties on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/44628368/trumps-tariffs-prompt-china-to-vow-countermeasures-experts-see-retaliation-likely">Chinese goods to 54%</a>, which directly affected the negotiations.
Trump acknowledged the difficulty in finalizing the deal given the new tariffs but expressed hope that discussions could continue in good faith with China.
He also stated, &#8220;We do not want TikTok to &#8216;go dark,'&#8221; underscoring his intention to find a solution that prevents the app from being banned in the U.S.
Why It Matters: The delay in TikTok's U.S. divestment highlights the ongoing friction between the U.S. and China over tech companies, national security concerns, and trade relations.
TikTok has faced scrutiny from U.S. lawmakers over concerns that the Chinese government could use the app to gather sensitive data on American citizens or influence them through its algorithm.
The <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/03/44345433/tiktok-ban-deadline-looms-but-vice-president-jd-vance-confirms-high-level-us-ownership-deal-is-nearly-done">2024 law was passed</a> with bipartisan support to address these concerns, and lawmakers have insisted that the divestment proceed swiftly to protect U.S. users.

Cathie Wood's Ark Invest Loads Up On Amazon Amid Over 20% Decline In A Year: Offloads UiPath, Roblox

<ul>
<li>Several altcoins crashed in minutes on Binance on Tuesday despite quiet market conditions.</li>
<li>Some have pointed to an exchange update as the cause of the turbulence, but questions remain.</li>
<li>Localized flash crashes are nothing new in crypto.</li>

While cryptocurrency market participants <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/04/44603859/bitcoin-braces-for-trump-tariff-announcement-short-term-optimism-has-the-upper-hand-experts-say">have been bracing for volatility all week</a>, users of the largest cryptocurrency exchange by volume, Binance, were still caught off guard when several altcoins crashed on the exchange, costing at least one trader seven figures.
Is an exchange update to blame?

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Steep Losses and Lingering Questions</h2>
On Tuesday, several altcoins saw significant price declines in minutes on Binance despite relatively quiet market conditions. The most notable of them, a popular Solana memecoin, Act 1 The Prophecy, or ACT, tanked as much as 52% in 30 minutes from $0.1897 to $0.0904 and, albeit at a slower pace, is still falling at the time of writing on Wednesday, trading at $0.0588.
Besides ACT, DEXE, the token for DeXe, a decentralized autonomous organization, also fell about 35% in 45 minutes, though, unlike ACT, it has recouped some of its initial losses at the time of writing.
Other tokens that recorded significant losses include BANANAS31, HIPPO, KAVA, LUMIA, QUICK, and TST.
Amid the chaos, at least one trader has suffered significant losses. Prominent crypto smart money tracker Lookonchain highlighted CoinGlass data showing that a whale was liquidated for $3.79 million as the price of ACT hit $0.1877.

Trending: It&#8217;s no wonder Jeff Bezos holds over $250 million in art — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks">this alternative asset has outpaced the S&amp;P 500 since 1995, delivering an average annual return of 11.4%. Here&#8217;s how everyday investors are getting started.</a>
Many, including Lookonchain, have attributed the recent incident to an update to Binance&#8217;s leverage trading platform, sparking outrage from users. Specifically, on Tuesday, the exchange tweaked the leverage and margin tiers for several pairs, including 1000SATSUSDT, ACTUSDT, PNUTUSDT, NEOUSDT, NEOUSDC, TURBOUSDT, and MEWUSDT.&nbsp;
But the explanation that this update was the problem raises the question of why only ACT was affected in this list and why other tokens like DEXE were impacted.
Binance, for its part, has released the findings of a preliminary investigation, stating, &#8220;there were no market anomalies during the adjustments.&#8221; The exchange did, however, highlight large ACT spot sell orders on the platform around the time that may have sparked volatility under low liquidity conditions.&nbsp;
According to the exchange, three VIP accounts sold ACT tokens worth approximately 514,000 USDT, while one non-VIP account sold 540,000 USDT worth of the token. Still, the exchange dispelled any notion of a coordinated effort to drive down the price of the token by asserting that no single account made significant profits from the incident.
Localized flash crashes like this are nothing new in crypto.

Here's How Much You Would Have Made Owning Sea Stock In The Last 5 Years

Back in 2010, Elon Musk wasn't the world's richest man or the tech messiah with a rocket company, electric car empire, and social media platform in his grip. He was a newly minted billionaire fighting to keep Tesla alive, rebuilding SpaceX, and—at the time—trying to dodge a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44402199/elon-musks-first-ex-wife-says-she-sucked-at-being-his-trophy-wife-and-recalls-him-saying-if-you-were-my-employee-i-would-fire-you">media circus around his divorce</a>.
But when the headlines started claiming he "ran off with an actress," Musk lost his patience.
"Given the choice, I'd rather stick a fork in my hand than write about my personal life," he wrote in a <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/correcting-the-record-about-my-divorce-2010-7">Business Insider essay</a>. "Unfortunately, it seems that I don't have any other option."
Don't Miss:
<ul>
<li>Inspired by Uber and Airbnb &#8211; Deloitte's fastest-growing software company is transforming 7 billion smartphones into income-generating assets &#8211; <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mode-mobile-2">with $1,000 you can invest at just $0.26/share!</a></li>
<li>These five entrepreneurs are worth $223 billion –<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/arrived-homes-private-credit-fund"> they all believe in one platform that offers a 7-9% target yield with monthly dividends</a></li>
</ul>
What followed was a rare, unfiltered look into Musk's private life—something he still mostly avoids today. He wasn't posting memes or fighting culture wars yet. This was about correcting what he called a journalist's "creepy fixation" on his marriage, finances, and the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/02/43680809/elon-musks-ex-wife-whom-he-was-engaged-to-only-2-weeks-after-meeting-joked-he-invited-her-to-his-hotel-room-just-to-watch-rocket-videos">woman he was about to marry</a>: British actress Talulah Riley.
Musk made it clear that he filed for divorce from his first wife, Justine, before meeting Riley. "Talulah and I lived on opposite sides of the world and hadn't even known of each other's existence before the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/02/43940599/elon-musks-second-ex-wife-says-he-proposed-to-her-without-a-ring-and-they-shook-hands-on-it-but-later-he-gave-her-3-engagement-rings">marriage with Justine ended</a>," he wrote. The narrative that he abandoned a "devoted wife" to run off with a young actress? "Could not have been more falsely applied."
Still, the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/02/43680809/elon-musks-ex-wife-whom-he-was-engaged-to-only-2-weeks-after-meeting-joked-he-invited-her-to-his-hotel-room-just-to-watch-rocket-videos">relationship with Riley</a> did move quickly. Musk was reportedly engaged to her just two weeks after they met. In a 2014 <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/tesla-and-spacex-elon-musks-industrial-empire/">interview with CBS News</a>, Riley confirmed how fast things escalated: "It all happened very fast. We were engaged after, I think, sorta two weeks of knowing each other."
Trending: BlackRock is calling 2025 the year of alternative assets. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks">One firm from NYC has quietly built a group of 60,000+ investors who have all joined in on an alt asset class previously exclusive to billionaires like Bezos and Gates.</a>
In the Business Insider essay, Musk also took the opportunity to praise his new fiancée. "It is worth mentioning that Talulah, as anyone who knows her would attest, is one of the most kind hearted and gentle people in the world," he wrote.
They married later that year in 2010, just months after meeting. But like much of Musk's life, the relationship didn't follow a straight path. They divorced in 2012, remarried in 2013, and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/01/36561210/elon-musk-married-and-divorced-the-same-woman-twice-paying-her-over-20-million-in-settlements-she-sa">finalized a second divorce in 2016</a>.
He also shot down rumors that he was trying to dodge financial responsibilities. Media outlets had portrayed him as "broke," despite his equity in Tesla and SpaceX. Musk explained that he had funneled nearly all of his cash into saving Tesla from collapse in 2007, leaving just enough to cover his living expenses—which mostly included childcare and supporting Justine's household.

If They Could Show A Plan For Ending World Hunger He'd Donate $6 Billion – ‘I Will Sell Tesla Stock Right Now And Do It'</a>
His legal bills alone? Around $4 million, or $170,000 a month, most of which went to his ex-wife's lawyers. Under California law, he was required to foot both sides of the bill.
"I never said I was broke," he wrote. "At no point have I ever sought to limit support payments to Justine."
He said he had offered her a post-tax settlement worth roughly $80 million, but she declined, insisting on equity in Tesla and SpaceX. A judge ultimately sided with Musk, upholding the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/01/42878599/elon-musk-married-and-divorced-the-same-woman-twice-paid-her-over-20-million-in-settlements-she-refers-to-him-as-perfect-ex-husband">couple's marital agreement</a>.
As for the media coverage, Musk didn't hold back. He called out journalists for repeating inaccuracies without checking court documents. One, in particular, he described as "Silicon Valley's Jayson Blair"—and said that was probably unfair to Blair.
Fifteen years and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/02/44050706/elon-musks-neuralink-executive-and-mother-to-3-of-his-13-kids-says-he-was-never-interested-in-doing-anything-for-money-just-for-humanity">several kids later</a>, Musk still doesn't open up much about his personal life. But in 2010, when he felt backed into a corner, he made his case—on his terms, fork and all.

$100 Invested In This Stock 10 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/02/43759618/charlie-munger-said-the-hardest-part-of-getting-rich-is-the-first-100000-but-from-there-it-snowballs-and-you-can-ease-off-the-gas">late Charlie Munger</a> didn't warm up with pleasantries—and he definitely didn't care about making anyone comfortable. In a <a href="https://www.acquired.fm/episodes/charlie-munger">2023 interview on the "Acquired" podcast</a>, just weeks before he would have turned 100, the Berkshire Hathaway legend made his view on money crystal clear: it's not about yachts, bragging rights, or some Forbes list.&nbsp;
"The point of getting rich is so you don't have to need other people, so you don't have to get along with other people," he said.&nbsp;
It wasn't bitterness. It was clarity. When asked if he'd go into investing again if he were 30 years old today, Munger said he probably would—because it fit his nature. But managing outside capital? Not so much.

</ul>
"I didn't really enjoy the 3 and 30 business," he said. "Once I had enough money on my own, I'd rather just operate with my own money."
He didn't want to chase investors. He didn't want to pitch ideas or take meetings just to appease consultants. He was over it. "Being forced to sell, being forced to deal with investment bankers, being forced to deal with investment consultants, being forced to deal with venture capital… To hell with them. Who wants it?"
The takeaway wasn't that wealth buys power—it's that it removes friction. Fewer meetings. Fewer explanations. Fewer people standing between you and your decisions.
Munger also wasn't trying to act like success was a formula.&nbsp;
When reflecting on Berkshire's early days, he said it came down to a mix of ability, effort, and pure luck. "Almost everything has three things: They're very intelligent, they worked very hard, and they were very lucky. It takes all three."
Trending: It&#8217;s no wonder Jeff Bezos holds over $250 million in art — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks">this alternative asset has outpaced the S&amp;P 500 since 1995, delivering an average annual return of 11.4%. Here&#8217;s how everyday investors are getting started.</a>
But knowing when to act—that mattered too. "When you know you have an edge, you should bet heavily," he said. "Most people don't teach that in business school."
That mindset showed up in everything from his investment philosophy to how he ran partnerships. He preferred simplicity, trust, and long-term thinking. He liked working with people who stayed the course, not those chasing the next exit.
And despite his success, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44438885/charlie-munger-told-a-20-year-old-that-getting-rich-through-investing-is-damn-near-impossible-and-you-might-need-10-million-in-the-bank">he knew the game didn't get easier</a>. "It's very difficult to invest money well," he said. "I think it's all but impossible to do time after time after time in venture capital."
Munger <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44458811/billionaire-warren-buffett-still-drives-a-2014-cadillac-but-joked-charlie-mungers-idea-of-traveling-in-style-was-an-air-conditioned-bus">didn't care much for trends</a>, titles, or playing nice. He cared about thinking clearly and doing what made sense. If that rubbed people the wrong way, he'd already made peace with that.

<h3>Evaluating Huntington Ingalls Indus P/E in Comparison to Its Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 141.26 in the Aerospace &amp; Defense industry, Huntington Ingalls Indus Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 14.27. Shareholders might be inclined to think that the stock might perform worse than it's industry peers. It's also possible that the stock is undervalued.

In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes.

2024年第2四半期の大部分の大麻企業の財務業績が出揃い、その結果から興味深いトレンドが浮かび上がってきた。その1つが、米国のマルチステート・オペレーター（MSO）が供給チェーンにおけるコストと効率を改善しているという点だ。
MSOが風雲急を告げてきたことは驚くべきことではなく、かつその回復力が示されてきたのも理解できる。これまで低い卸売価格という圧力に直面し、小売業界での競争の激化と追加の課税に面してきたが、これらの大半の企業は、そのコスト業績を維持し、あるいはいくつかのケースでは改善することに成功してきたのだから。
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">財務詳細</h3>
バリディアン（Viridian）の<a href="https://dealtracker.viridianca.com/chart-of-the-week/">データ分析</a>によると、トップ8のMSOのうち6社の売上高に対する売上原価（COGS）の割合が昨年と比較して減少した。この削減は、これらの企業が課題に直面しながらも生産コストをより効率的に管理していることを示している。比較の対象には、Green Thumb Industries（OTC：<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GTBIF#OTC">GTBIF</a>）、Curaleaf（OTC：<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CURLF#OTC">CURLF</a>）、Trulieve（CSE：<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TRUL#CSE">TRUL</a>）（OTCQX：<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TCNNF#OTCQX">TCNNF</a>）、Verano（OTC：<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VRNOF#OTC">VRNOF</a>）、Cresco Labs（OTC：<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRLBF#OTC">CRLBF</a>）、Terrascend（OTC：<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TRSSF#OTC">TRSSF</a>）、AYR（OTC：<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AYRWF#OTC">AYRWF</a>）およびAscend Wellness（OTC：<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAWH#OTC">AAWH</a>） が含まれる。ただし、AYRとTerrAscendはCOGSが増加した。これは、彼らが他の企業よりもより大きな運用上の課題に直面していることを示している。
さらに、このうちの6社は、2024年第2四半期における2023年第2四半期との比較で、売上高に対する売上、一般および管理（SG&amp;A）費用が低下した。この傾向は、これらの企業が自分たちのベルトを締め直し、支出についてより規律あるものになり、供給チェーンにおいて効率的に動くことを反映している。売上費用の削減は市場状況を反映したものとみられる。オハイオ州とニューヨーク州に新しいマーケットが拡大するにつれて、これらの企業は売上の増加を期待しており、それによって年の後半にはさらに財務業績が向上するはずだ。

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">MSOと大麻業界における役割の理解</h3>
MSOは複数の州にわたる栽培、加工、小売施設を管理する会社であり、米国の独自の法的枠組みのために同国の大麻市場においてさらに重要なプレーヤーになっている。
大麻が連邦レベルで未だに違法とされているため、ビジネスは州ごとの規制、法則および<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/08/40176980/state-by-state-price-of-weed-across-the-u-s-in-august-2024">価格</a>といった複雑な規制網を航行せねばならない。MSOはこのような課題を処理するために設計されており、それによって彼らは異なる法律を守りながら、州をまたいでの業務展開を可能にしているのだ。この戦略により、MSOは市場拡大に伴う経済規模の利点を活かし、コストを引き下げ、効率を向上させることができる。ただし、州ごとの規制を遵守することが重要であるため、それによって大きなコストが生じてしまう。
最新のQ2の報告書は、大半のMSOがコスト削減に焦点を当てていることを示唆している。大麻の<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/07/39892433/dea-rescheduling-of-cannabis-could-create-over-50-000-jobs-industry-group-notes-in-public-commen">スケジューリングの可能性</a>があれば、これは全体の<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/05/38885460/finally-tax-refunds-these-cannabis-companies-will-get-the-most-money-back-if-rescheduling-happen">税制負担を削減する</a>ことによって、それによってそれらの財務業績を大幅に向上させる可能性がある。

令は効率的な運営者の市場占有率の増加と持続可能なプラットフォーム構築を輝かせるだろう。第２四半期の収益を見越して、Zuanic &amp; Associatesのシニアアナリスト、Pablo Zuanic氏は、大麻市場傾向について概要を提供した。
Zuanic氏は、連邦の改革期待、<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/06/39560744/irs-confirms-no-federal-tax-deductions-for-marijuana-businesses-until-rescheduling-is-finalized"> 280Eに関するIRSのニュース</a>、借り換えの可能性、M&amp;A戦略が感情の主要な推進要因となると強調している。

会議の概要

ペンシルベニア州が最近承認した予算には、大麻企業であるJushi Holdings（OTC：<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JUSHF#OTC">JUSHF</a>）およびTILT Holdings（OTC：<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TILT#OTC">TILT</a>）のような企業にとって大きな打撃を与える、大麻の娯楽利用の合法化が除外されています。
ジョシュ・シャピロ知事が支援したこの動きに対し、民主党と共和党に分かれた州議会からは<a href="https://www.spotlightpa.org/news/2024/06/pennsylvania-marijuana-recreational-legislature-passage-budget-josh-shapiro/">反対</a>が出てしまいました。規制に関する合意については、民主党が支配する州下院で合意に達しようとする一方で、大麻の娯楽利用の合法化に反対する共和党が支配する州上院は合意に達しませんでした。
新しい<a href="https://www.pa.gov/en/governor/newsroom/2024-press-releases/governor-shapiro-signs-bipartisan-2024-25-budget--investing-in-e.html">予算</a>は幅広い経済的および社会的投資に焦点を当てていますが、娯楽利用の大麻についての規定は除外しています。主な投資先は、K-12公共教育のための11.1億ドル、企業の誘致のためのサイト開発のための5億ドル、および家庭およびコミュニティを対象としたサービスのための3億5480万ドルが含まれています。
<h3>遅れの中でのJushiとTILTの戦略的動向</h3>
Jushi Holdings（OTCQB）とTILT Holdings（OTCQB）は、ペンシルベニア州での医療大麻の販売から娯楽大麻の販売への移行によって成長が促進されると予測し、大規模な投資を行っています。
Jushiの現在の企業価値は過小評価されていると見なされ、規制の透明性が与えられれば大きな上昇余力があるということを示唆しています。 Zuanic＆AssociatesのシニアアナリストPablo Zuanic氏は、「ペンシルベニア州が娯楽大麻の販売を開始すれば、Jushiの時価総額は250％以上急増する可能性がある」と述べています。
一方、TILT HoldingsはStandard Farmsを運営しており、ペンシルベニア州での事業拡大のために1050万ドルの資金調達契約を締結しました。 これらの資金は、保健省（Department of Health）の許可を受けたディスペンサリーの構築に充てられます。
「ペンシルベニア州が、TILTのStandard Farmsのような小規模な独立系栽培業者がこの新興の市場で競争できるように、我々は賞賛します」と、TILTのCEOであるTim Conder氏は<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/05/38741310/tilt-holdings-bold-financing-move-how-this-cannabis-companys-escalating-interest-rates-impact-it">述べています</a>。
しかし予想される娯楽市場がないとすると、6か月後にかなり高騰する拡大ローンの金利がTILTの財務モデルに圧迫を与える可能性があります。
<h3>ティム・シーモア氏は州による大麻の合法化をどう見るか</h3>
CNBS Amplify Seymour Cannabis ETF（NYSE：<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CNBS#NYSE">CNBS</a>）のポートフォリオマネージャーであるTim Seymour氏は、連邦政府の変化よりも州レベルでの大麻の合法化の重要性を強調しました。 「大麻セクターにおける実際の経済は、成長している消費者基盤向けに積極的に製品を販売している企業によって推進されています」と、Seymour氏は<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/06/39344068/not-dc-but-the-states-tim-seymour-discusses-how-red-states-could-catalyze-cannabis-">語りました</a>。
彼は、ペンシルベニア州のような市場が、大麻業界の成長を促進していると指摘し、州レベルの決定が大麻産業の未来にとって重要であることを示唆しています。
関連記事：
<h3>ペンシルベニア州における大麻企業</h3>
JushiとTILTの両社は、ペンシルベニア州の予算における娯楽利用の大麻の除外がもたらす不確実な規制環境に適応しなければなりません。
予算から娯楽利用の大麻が除外されたことは、分かれた州議会での合意形成の複雑さを象徴しています。Seymour氏が指摘したように、「州レベルの法制化は、実際の産業の成長につながる製品を消費者の手に届けるものです」。
Zuanic氏は、「<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/02/37242307/jushi-holdings-revs-up-unleashing-torque-in-pennsylvania-and-virginias-cannabis-expansion">娯楽利用の大麻が合法化されない</a>場合、Jushi Holdingsは医療大麻市場に制限されることで成長が制約されるだろう」と述べたように、Jushiもまた州の不確実な規制環境に適応しなければなりません。
販売の勢いと利益率の面で競合他社に遅れをとっているにも関わらず、Jushiは業務を合理化し、EBITDAマージンを大幅に改善しています。 Zuanic氏は、12月2024年に支払期日を迎える約6,500万ドルの借金の<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/06/39470114/debt-deadline-looms-how-cannabis-companies-financial-health-could-impact-your-portf">返済の取り組み</a>に加え、Jushiの財務状況は管理可能であると考えています。
<h3>予算承認後の市場動向</h3>
2024年7月15日（月）、午後12時過ぎ、Jushi Holdings（NYSE：<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JUSHF#NYSE">JUSHF</a>）の株価は0.592ドルで、2.8449％下落し、投資家の信頼が低下していることを示しています。取引高は8339株で、市場活動は抑制的であることを示しています。時価総額は約1億1600万ドルであり、大麻セクターの中では比較的小さな企業です。
TILT Holdingsの株価は0.02211ドルで、10.55％上昇し、これは投資家からのポジティブな評価か、または最近のニュースへの反応であると考えられます。株価は6,150で、これは中規模の取引高で、時価総額は約850万ドルであり、大麻セクターの中でマイクロキャップ株式として位置づけられています。
これらは、ペンシルベニア州で<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/pennsylvania-cannabis">運営している最も重要なMSO</a>の一部です。

最近、ビーコン・証券がフロリダ州の大麻産業に関する最新のレポートで、選挙への寄付、政治的支援、市場競争、財務予測の情報が提供された。
<h3>リバタリアン党の支援</h3>
レポートによると、フロリダ州のリバタリアン党は成人のマリファナ使用を合法化する措置を公式に支持したという。この支持は、党が大麻の使用に関して個人の自由を主張しているため、選挙民の立場に変化を示す可能性がある。様々な政党からの増加する政治的支援は、大麻の合法化に対する受け入れが増していることを示している。
<h3>麻業界の政治的寄付</h3>
『CBSニュース』によると、フロリダの共和党にヘンプの幹部が500万ドルの寄付を約束したと報じられた。この出来事が起きたのは、デサンティス州知事がヘンプ産業に悪影響を及ぼすことになる法案を拒否した後のことだ。
レポートによると、この拒否は戦略的な動きと見なされ、グループSave Florida HempからのWhatsAppメッセージでは、11月の投票用紙に大麻の成人利用合法化に反対するデサンティス州知事とヘンプ業界が<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/07/39760907/ron-desantis-floridas-gop-and-hemp-industry-pile-on-to-defeat-marijuana-legalization">一致した</a>と示唆しているという。

<h3>財務業績</h3>
Verano HoldingsとCuraleaf Holdingsは8月7日に第2四半期の業績を発表する見込みであり、Veranoは売上高と調整後EBITDAが予測の低い方になると予測している。
これらの企業の運用キャッシュフローおよびフリーキャッシュフローは、280E税法の再スケジュール化と撤廃によって大幅に増加すると予想されている。

ビーコン・証券　リバタリアン党の支援を公式に支持

欧州、米国、カナダの大麻市場についてはかなりの情報が知られていますが、本当の利益は新興地域の中にあるかもしれません。Benzinga Cannabis との独占的なディスカッションで、Curaleaf International Holdings (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CURLF#OTC">CURLF</a>) の最高経営責任者であるJuan Martinez氏は、オーストラリア、ニュージーランド、イスラエルへの戦略的拡大と、これらの市場が持つ潜在能力について語りました。
<h3>オーストラリア市場</h3>
オーストラリア市場はCuraleafにとって重要な焦点です。マルティネス氏が強調するところによると、現在すでに50万人以上の患者を抱え、ドイツの2倍の規模を誇るオーストラリアの大麻市場は「非常に魅力的な市場」となっています。 「オーストラリアは非常に魅力的な市場です。オーストラリア市場の規模が今日のドイツ市場の2倍であることを実際にはあまり多くの人が気づいていません」とマルティネス氏は語ります。「私たちはオーストラリアに50万人以上の患者がいると信じていますが、この数字はドイツの20万人の患者と比較しても十分な数字だと私たちは考えています」
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/04/38358224/curaleaf-boosts-international-presence-with-another-cannabis-acquisition">CuraleafによるNorthern Green Canada（NGC）の買収は、</a>オーストラリアでの事業運営を促進する上で欠かせないものでした。 「NGCの買収により、Curaleafはすでにオーストラリアでの事業活動が随分と進んでいます」とマルティネス氏は説明します。この買収により、CuraleafはNGCの確立されたインフラストラクチャと専門知識を活用して、効果的にオーストラリア市場に参入することができるのです。
オーストラリア市場の大きな利点の一つは、ヨーロッパに比べてより許容的な規制環境にあります。 「オーストラリアの利点は、クリニックや遠隔医療会社のためのエコシステムを開放し、医師が簡単に教育を受け、大麻の処方を行うことができるようになったという点です。これにより患者の急速な拡大と低コストが実現しています。」
オーストラリアの規制枠組みは、ヨーロッパの市場では制限されていることが多い大麻製品の幅広いラインアップを認めています。 「オーストラリアでは、規制が異なる形態の製品開発において新しいアイデアを試すことができます」とマルティネス氏はBenzingaに話しました。「今後、我々はこの市場において、我々が密接に監視することになるものとして、大麻食品やベイプ製品を導入するオペレーターが出てくることが予想されます。」
<h3>ニュージーランドとイスラエル</h3>
オーストラリアに加え、Curaleafは<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/new-zealand-cannabis">ニュージーランド</a>とイスラエルでのプレゼンスも拡大しています。 「Curaleaf Internationalは単なるヨーロッパのビジネスではありません。私たちは現在、<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/australia-cannabis">オーストラリア</a>、ニュージーランド、イスラエルの市場に進出しています」とマルティネス氏は語ります。これらの市場は、オーストラリアより規模が小さいものの、依然として成長のための大きな機会を提供しています。
ニュージーランドの規制環境は、商品提供の可能性を探ることができるようなものとなっています。 「ニュージーランドの大麻規制は、特定の製剤と要件を持っており、承認された農薬しか認めていないという制限がありますが、我々はすでにこれらの基準を満たしています」とマルティネス氏は説明します。これにより、Curaleafは規制要件に効果的に対応し、市場の需要に対応することができるのです。
イスラエルは、続く闘争にもかかわらず、13万人の患者を抱える重要な市場として存在を継続しています。
「<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/israel-cannabis">イスラエル</a>は、大麻がもはや最後の手段にとらわれることなく規制を変更し、患者数が著しく増加しています」とマルティネス氏は語ります。「私たちはイスラエル市場に多くの可能性を見ており、この市場からの収益が既に1億ドルを超える企業もいくつか存在しています。」
<h3>戦略的なサプライチェーン管理</h3>
これらの国際市場に対するCuraleafの戦略は、堅牢で柔軟なサプライチェーンを活用するというものです。同社はポルトガルとカナダの栽培施設を利用して、これらの地域への供給を行っています。 「オーストラリアとニュージーランドにはGMP（製造規範遵守基準）が必要ですが、我々はすでに<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/portugal-cannabis">ポルトガル</a>と<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/canada-cannabis">カナダ</a>にある施設でこれを守っています」とマルティネス氏は説明します。これにより、Curaleafは異なる市場で高品質の基準を維持し、規制要件を満たすことができるのです。
マルティネス氏は、さらなる栽培能力の拡大の可能性にも触れています。 「私たちのポルトガル施設は、非常に低額の投資で栽培スペースを3倍以上にすることができます」と彼は指摘します。「同様に、カナダの施設も大規模な拡張スペースを持っています。」
<h3>市場の課題と機会</h3>
これらの市場における成長の潜在能力については大いに期待が持たれていますが、同時に患者の意識向上や規制環境への対応という課題も多く存在するとマルティネス氏は指摘しています。 「オーストラリアのような国々のマーケティング規制は非常に厳格ですが、患者の教育と口コミは極めて重要です。」
ただ、マルティネス氏はこれらの課題を克服し、これらの市場の成長の潜在能力を最大限に活用することができると確信しています。 「私たちの焦点は、患者のニーズと規制要件にあります。我々の<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/22/11/29689574/exclusive-data-driven-marijuana-michigans-cloud-cannabis-and-the-first-mover-advantage">データ駆動型アプローチ</a>および既存のインフラを活用することで、これらの国際市場での拡大と成功には十分なポテンシャルがあります」と彼は結論づけました。

Curaleafの戦略家がカナビス市場について語る

メリーランド州の大麻市場が成熟するにつれ、大麻の娯楽販売開始に備えるオハイオ州などの州にとって、これは有益な知見を提供する。 Zuanic＆AssociatesのPablo Zuanic氏は、メリーランドの安定性、競争風景、および市場動向を他の州の参考モデルとして挙げている。メリーランドの経験を理解することで、オハイオ州は大麻産業の発展における課題と機会を予測することができるだろう。
オハイオとメリーランドは、両方とも市場構造と規制環境が似ており、Zuanic氏によれば、この比較はオハイオ州にとって有益だという。 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/23/11/35991290/analyst-inside-look-trends-and-opportunities-in-ohios-emerging-recreational-cannabi">メリーランド</a>同様、<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/23/11/35991290/analyst-inside-look-trends-and-opportunities-in-ohios-emerging-recreational-cannabi">オハイオ</a>も、医療用からリクリエーション用の市場への移行を果たし、現在のオペレーターが先行している。さらに、両州とも、それぞれが大麻プログラムを確立した周辺地域からの競争に直面している。
報告書には、「メリーランド州と<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/illinois-cannabis">イリノイ</a>州はともに、医療用大麻からの娯楽用販売への順調な移行を経て、平均を上回る経済状況を享受している。特筆すべきことは、先行してリクリエーション販売に参入したオペレーターがいることで、ニューヨークとは異なり、彼らはこの先行スタートを活かしている。私たちは、<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/ohio-cannabis">オハイオ</a>でも同様の変化が見られることを予想している」と述べられている。
これらの共通の特徴により、メリーランドの経験はオハイオ州にとって関連性のある教育的モデルとなり、オハイオ州が市場開発における潜在的な課題を予測し、それに対処する手助けをすることができる。
<h3>安定した販売と市場動向</h3>
2023年7月の娯楽販売開始以来、<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/maryland-cannabis">メリーランド</a>の総大麻販売は、2024年4月までに2億7300万ドルの1％のみ成長し、頭打ちしている。
Zuanic氏は、この要因について、高価な大麻、静的な店舗数、およびニュージャージーやペンシルバニアなどの周辺州からの競合があると説明している。 「大半の東部州よりも価格帯が高いことが問題になるかもしれない」
メリーランド州のフラワー価格は、2024年第2四半期時点で1グラムあたり8.76ドルと高い位置にあり、イリノイ（1グラムあたり8.11ドル）やマサチューセッツ（1グラムあたり5.12ドル）よりも大幅に高い価格である。
<h3>市場シェアとブランドのパフォーマンス</h3>
メリーランド州では、公開されているマルチステートオペレータ（MSO）が約40％の安定した<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/05/39076254/top-ohio-cannabis-companies-analyst-look-at-stocks-with-potential-market-cap-gains">市場シェア</a>を保有している。Green Thumb（OTC：<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GTBIF#OTC">GTBIF</a>）は12.5％のシェア率で最も多く、その次がCuraleaf（OTC：<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CURLF#OTC">CURLF</a>）（8.4％）、Verano（OTC：<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VRNOF#OTC">VRNOF</a>）（7％）が続く。
特筆すべきことは、非公開のMSOと地域オペレータも重要な役割を果たしているということだ。 「MDの場合、MSOは約40％のブランド市場シェアを維持し、小売店の約3分の1を所有しています」とZuanic氏は説明する。
上位のブランドの間での市場シェアは競争が激しく、フラワーカテゴリーのトップ3ブランドは合計23％のシェアを持っている。フェイプカテゴリーでは、CuraleafのSelectを含むリーディングブランドが39％のシェアを占めている。
<h3>価格動向と将来の見通し</h3>
メリーランド州の大麻価格は、リクリエーション販売の最初のうちにわずかな下落を経験した。2013年第3四半期以降、フラワーの価格は7〜8％、ベイプの価格は14％下落している。 それにもかかわらず、価格は他の東部州よりも高いままだ。 「リクリエーション販売に移行したことで、2023年第3四半期時点でベイプの価格がクォーターオンクォーターで16％上昇し、それ以降14％下落しています」とZuanic氏は語る。
ペンシルバニア州、デラウェア州などの周辺州がリクリエーション大麻の合法化を検討することで、メリーランド州の大麻価格にはさらなる圧力がかかる可能性がある。 「PA、DE、DCがリクリエーション大麻に転換する可能性があるのであれば、将来的にはMDにも価格圧力がかかると予想されます」とZuanic氏は予測している。

Market Summary

大麻市場から学べること　投資家が釈明

DEAが大麻を<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/04/38226873/analyst-reacts-to-fda-commish-comments-medical-and-recreational-cannabis-could-have">再スケジュール</a>すると発表し、大麻業界が新しい規制環境に適応する中、最近のViridian Capital Advisorsの報告書によると、企業結合および買収活動（M&amp;A）が大幅に増加する可能性を示唆している。
<h2>ティア1マルチステート企業の利益増</h2>
この分析は、ティア1マルチステート企業（MSO）と小規模企業との間の評価格差の重要な動向を強調しているが、これは3年ぶりの広がりとなっている。
市場価格で並べ替えられたティア1MSOには、Curaleaf Holdings（OTC：<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CURLF#OTC">CURLF</a>）の415億ドル、Green Thumb Industries（OTC：<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GTBIF#OTC">GTBIF</a>）の298億ドル、Trulieve Cannabis（OTC：<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TCNNF#OTC">TCNNF</a>）の210億ドル、Cresco Labs（OTC：<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRLBF#OTC">CRLBF</a>）の7.1851億ドルなどの会社が含まれる。
この格差は、<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/04/38386324/whos-winning-in-weed-analyst-looks-at-cannabis-markets-big-players-where-are-the-be">大企業</a>にとってM&amp;Aがますます有利になっていることを意味している。簡単に説明すると、大企業は、それらの市場価値に比べて相対的に低い価格で他の会社を買収することができるため、今後は以前よりも買収を通じて成長できるようになったということだ。
<h3>資本コストのダイナミクスが条件付けを変える</h3>
<a href="https://dealtracker.viridianca.com/chart-of-the-week/">報告書</a>は、資本コストに関する増大する差異についても言及しており、これにより大規模で公開されたティア1MSOが有利に立つようになっている。
したがって、これらの企業は、自社よりも小規模で、しばしば非公開の会社よりも、資金調達する際により低コストでやりくりができるようになった。この金融的レバレッジは、大企業のMSOの取引の交渉力を大幅に変え、彼らがより簡単に取引を成立させたり、終了させたりすることを可能にしている。
Viridianの報告書によると、これらのダイナミクスは、特に市場の長期戦によって疲れ切った小規模な競合他社が、撤退することをますます考える中、業界全体での統合のための堅牢な時期になるとのことだ。
報告書によると、公開企業の株価の上昇と<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/04/38420095/cannabis-companies-gains-u-s-versus-canada-averages-can-be-deceiving-irrational-mar">健全な資金余力</a>を利用して、2024年の下半期と2025年の初めには明白なM&amp;A活動の上昇が予想されている。
<img decoding="async" style="height: 545px; width: 633px;" src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/u503488/viridian_capital_advisors_-_ma.png" alt="viridian_capital_advisors_-_ma.png" />
Viridianのチャートは、2021年上半期における栽培および小売りセクター内でのM&amp;A活動の顕著な減少を示しており、それは緑の縦棒が合計取引価値の減少を示しているからだ。大部分の影響は、MSOの<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/05/38559933/billions-on-the-move-tracking-market-cap-changes-in-top-cannabis-firms-after-dea-rescheduling-an">ETF価格</a>を示すオレンジ色の線により示されており、またMSOが拡大を追求する代わりに現金を節約するため資本市場が緊縮化したことが影響している。 しかし、報告書は、この動向が近いうちに逆転する可能性があるとの見解を示している。
<h3>取引の株式化</h3>
大手企業は、大麻を事業の一環として日課とすることに対する期待によって、株式価格がゆっくりと上昇する中、新しい資金調達を行う際には自社株を使用する方が有利であると考えるようになってきた。
この傾向は、銀行制度の改革や立法の更新が遅れているため、銀行から現金を得ることが難しく、またより高いコストがかかるためである。その結果、<a href="https://dealtracker.viridianca.com/chart-of-the-week/">報告書</a>では、M&amp;A活動を資金調達する際に、資金よりも株式が優先されるようになっているとのことだ。
<h3>プロのアドバイス</h3>
企業が株式を現金よりも優先してM&amp;Aに利用することにより、その企業の株価が堅調であり、市場条件が好調で、また株価に影響を与える投資家の信頼が高いタイミングであると、株式を利用したM&amp;A活動は最適であるとされている。
ただし、この方法は慎重に扱わないと、株主の株価の希釈を引き起こす可能性がある。この結果、市場は発行が過剰だと認識してしまい、株価が下落する原因となることがあるのだ。新株の発行によって、合計株数が増加し、<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/04/38206489/cannabis-markets-trading-volume-surges-up-292-viridian-capital-highlights-mixed-liq">流動性が</a>向上し、それによって新たな投資家が引きつけられるかもしれないが、株価に影響を与えるリスクもあるのだ。

米国の大手大麻企業がM&A活動の増加傾向｜新たな報告書から明らかに

フロリダ州の知事であるロン・デサンティス（共和党）は、2024年11月の選挙でフロリダ州民が投票する大麻合法化修正案について、別の非難を浴びせた。今回は、同氏がK-12スクールの近くで大麻を吸うと考えられる人々を非難している。
「小学校のような教育機関の近くで大麻を吸う人が横切ることを認可してもいいのか？」とデサンティス氏は水曜日、マイアミで行われたイベントで記者団に語った。「フロリダ州にとってそれがいい結果を生むと思わない」と非難した。
この提案は、Amendment 3として知られており、フロリダ最高裁判所によって最近<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/04/38034138/florida-supreme-court-approves-cannabis-legalization-proposal-for-november-election-in-blow-to-d">11月の投票用紙に進むことが承認された</a>。この修正案は、Smart and Safe Floridaによって組織され、その実、州がタバコの公共での消費を規制しているように、立法府に対して「屋外での大麻使用と公共での大麻使用を制限するための権限」を与えるものだ。
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">それでもデサンティス知事は批判を続ける</h1>
「この修正法はこれまでで最も幅広いものであり、フロリダ州の全地域で公然での大麻使用を許可することと同意義と捉えている」とデサンティス氏は述べた（<a href="https://floridapolitics.com/archives/670027-gov-desantis-slams-marijuana-amendment-again-warns-of-toking-up-near-schools/">Florida Politicsの報告</a>）。「これは家族にとって良いことではないし、老人にとっても良いことではない。」
そして、デサンティス知事は、自身が語っている間に数マイル先のハリウッド、フロリダの<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/events/cannabis-conference/">Benzinga Cannabis Capital Conference</a> で開催されたイベントで、フロリダ州の修正案を支持する大麻企業を激怒させた。
「この法案のために数千万ドルを使用する意義を理解できない。大麻企業はこの修正案によって莫大な利益を上げることができる。」と非難的な言葉を口にした。
Trulieve Cannabis Corp（OTCQX：<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TCNNF#OTCQX">TCNNF</a>）をはじめとする大麻会社は名前は出ていないが、これまでに少なくとも1,500万ドル以上の資金を提供して修正案を支持している。この提案に資金を提供している会社は、Verano Holdings Corp（OTCQX：<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/vrnof#OTCQX">VRNOF</a>）、Curaleaf Holdings Inc（OTCQX：<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/curlf#OTCQX">CURLF</a>）、AYR Wellness Inc（OTCQX：<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ayrwf#OTCQX">AYRWF</a>）、Cresco Labs Inc。（OTCQX：<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/crlbf#OTCQX">CRLBF</a>）、Green Thumb Industries Inc（OTCQX：<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/gtbif#OTCQX">GTBIF</a>） 、INSA, Inc。含まれている。
