Thanks to a critical acquisition, a Canadian cannabis company has secured a sale of over C$1 million for recreational product.
On Thursday (August 1), Aleafia Health (TSX:ALEF,OTCQX:ALEAF) announced that its subsidiary, Emblem Cannabis, has completed the order from an undisclosed provincial partner.
According to the firm, this new single order sale includes every product format and the 17 individual SKUs available from Emblem.

The C$1 million sale has bumped the company’s monthly gross revenues average higher than the entire revenue it generated throughout 2018.
Aleafia Health reported total revenues of C$3.3 million in 2018 and, as part of its Q1 2019 update to investors, the firm said that it posted C$1.5 million in revenue during the quarter.
“We are delighted with the significant increase in cannabis sales to date, including a recent major increase in registered medical patients and product sales,” said Aleafia Health CEO Geoffrey Benic.
Aleafia Health completed the acquisition of public company Emblem in March in an all-share transaction worth C$173.2 million.
The company posted a net loss of C$20.2 million for Q1 2019, due in large part to a one time payment attached to the Emblem acquisition.
In addition to its order update, Aleafia Health offered information on new developments related to its cultivation assets. The company announced that it has started growing 13,000 cannabis plants in its outdoor operations, and said Health Canada has officially launched a review of a license application for Alefia’s Niagara Greenhouse facility in Grimsby, Ontario.
Shares of the Canadian firm rose on Thursday following the sell order. Aleafia Health finished the trading day with a 1.92 percent hike, reaching a price of C$1.07 per share.
Over a year-to-date period, shares of Aleafia Health have dropped in value by 26.24 percent.
Despite the losses seen in the public market this year, Mackie Research Capital analyst Greg McLeish is maintaining a bullish view on the outlook of the company.
“Aleafia Health is well-positioned for revenue growth through 2021,” McLeish wrote, according to a Cantech Letter report. “Aleafia has also positioned itself for ‘Cannabis 2.0’ and it is currently building out 50,000 (kilograms per year) of extraction capacity at its processing facility in Paris, Ontario.”
In July, the analyst reaffirmed his “buy” rating for the company, which he sees reaching a price of C$3.

Credit Suisse de-risking efforts leave cannabis out
Credit Suisse Group (NYSE:CS) clients have been unable to make some cannabis trades since March, a report from Reuters shows. The firm moved forward with a new risk management strategy after losing billions as a result of a blunder with Archegos Capital Management.
The initial list of cannabis companies blocked by Credit Suisse includes popular multi-state operators (MSOs) based in the US. These companies operate primarily out of the US, but are public on Canadian exchanges due to current American federal restrictions on the cannabis business.
Bloomberg reported that cannabis exchange-traded funds, and the shares of Canadian licensed producers Canopy Growth (NASDAQ:CGC,TSX:WEED), Aurora Cannabis (NASDAQ:ACB,TSX:ACB) and Tilray (NASDAQ:TLRY), were not on the list of blocked trades.
Experts have previously told the Investing News Network that US cannabis is the currently the most exciting aspect of the industry. At the same time, the federal status of the drug continues weigh down these names even as federal cannabis policy regulation in the country looks closer than ever.
So far it remains unclear whether the cannabis names already trading on senior US exchanges, mostly Canada-based operators, will be able to fully capitalize on any federal changes to cannabis rules.
Many experts do not expect sweeping cannabis legalization in the US, and are instead anticipating a piecemeal adjustment that would make it possible for MSOs to graduate to American exchanges.
