Awaiting the Next Wave of Cannabis IPOs

<p>#Cannabis #IPO The initial wave of cannabis SPACs have largely completed their qualifying transactions producing over $5B of M&A transaction value from their $1.8 billion of IPO proceeds. Viridian expects the second wave to be equally significant with approximately $5.9B of deals announced or projected.<br /> <br /> 9 SPAC mergers have been completed totaling $5.4B in merger value from $1.8B in IPO proceeds, 2 SPAC mergers are pending totaling $2.1B in merger value from only $270 M in IPO proceeds, and 7 SPACs are searching for a target after raising $1.2B from IPOs.<br /> <br /> Completing cannabis SPAC deals has been difficult, particularly for larger US listed SPACS who are limited to non-plant touching deals. This has led 5 SPACs that started out searching for cannabis targets, to complete a merger in a different industry. On top of that, cannabis SPACs have generally paid above market multiples for their acquisitions.</p> <p>Show Notes:<br /> Awaiting the Second Wave of Cannabis SPACs<br /> https://www.viridianca.com/chart2</p> <p>Host:<br /> Josh Kincaid, Capital Markets Analyst & host of your cannabis business podcast.<br /> https://www.linkedin.com/in/joshkincaid/</p> <p>Episode 775 of The Talking Hedge:<br /> Your Cannabis Business Podcast.<br /> ​Covering cannabis business news, interviews, investments, events, products, reviews, and some random stuff.
