A high-end Jushi retail space
Source: https://jushico.com/Philosophy and mission of the Company: Jushi’s website states “Our mission at Jushi is to ensure that we are producing the highest quality and most consistent cannabis across all of our markets.” Their vision is “To create an integrated global community of wellness, mindfulness, and connections through superior retail experiences and products.” There is a spiritual underpinning to the name, Jushi, as their website indicates that “A deceased middle-aged-man, believed to be a shaman of the ancient Jushi kingdom, was buried in a grave along with 789 grams of cannabis.”
Performance: Much like other cannabis companies, Jushi has struggled a bit with gaining market ground, falling from a high of $8.25/share in February to its current price of $5.03/share. stock invest.us states, “Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to fall -21.09% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $3.96 and $4.58 at the end of this 3-month period.”
However, The Motley Fool is a bit more bullish, saying, “The biggest factor that could drive Jushi’s stock to the moon before the end of the year is that its income is blowing up compared to 2020. In Q1, its quarterly revenue grew by 382.7% year over year. And if the company’s ambitions to expand its operations across a slew of state-level markets proceed as planned, it could just be getting started.”
Final Thoughts: Priced currently at around $5.00/share, JUSHF is an affordable entry into marijuana stock investments. And given the revenue growth of the company, in conjunction with their multiple product liens and a vertical integration approach, JUSHF is worth checking out.
