The Talking Hedge

M&A activity in the cannabis industry is down, but may see an uptick as dealmakers have shifted focus and learned from past mistakes. In 2019, a combination of decreases in valuations, regulatory issues, and corporate governance issues, resulted in 95 cannabis industry M&A deals, worth more than $2.4 billion, being canceled or unwound.

Markets were slower to roll-out and come online than expected, and regulatory, financial and operational obstacles suppressed profitability. Volume in 2020 is also down. However, after the peak concerns of the pandemic, Reuters reported that companies will likely want to find their way into more niche sectors of the space and all-stock deals are expected to be the trend.

2020 has impacted consumer behavior and perhaps the most notable change is how they now consume content. With more people staying safe indoors, there is less need for traditional media formats such as out-of-home advertising. As a result, online media is taking its place, as an increase in spend for this format shows. But despite marketers trying to optimize their media strategy or stripping back their budget entirely, many are ramping up their spend on advertising to promote various messages, including 420 Media.
