Curaleaf–Aurora Deal Dominates Industry Headlines | TTB Weekly Recap

from The Dales Report | Trade to Black · host Dales Media Group

This week’s Trade To Black Weekly Recap presented by FRE brings another packed stretch of earnings season — the second consecutive week where quarterly results dominated headlines across cannabis and psychedelics. Host Shadd Dales breaks down major prints from Village Farms (NASDAQ: VFF), Auxly (TSXV: XLY), Organigram (NASDAQ: OGI), MariMed (CSE: MRMD) and Rubicon Organics (TSXV: ROMJ).But the biggest story of the week wasn’t earnings — it was M&A.Curaleaf (TSX: CURA) announced its intention to acquire Aurora Cannabis (TSX: ACB) in a proposed deal valued at approximately US$4 per share. Aurora responded without rejecting the offer and has formed a special committee to evaluate strategic alternatives. The potential combination would create one of the largest international cannabis platforms in the world, pairing Curaleaf’s distribution footprint with Aurora’s EU‑GMP production scale.Michigan also made news as Representative James DeSana introduced legislation to repeal the state’s controversial 24% wholesale cannabis tax, which has crushed margins in one of America’s lowest‑priced markets.Earnings delivered several standout performances. Village Farms (NASDAQ: VFF) posted its fifth straight quarter of positive net income, Auxly Cannabis (TSXV: XLY) delivered exceptional cash conversion, Organigram Global (NASDAQ: OGI) reported record revenue, MariMed (CSE: MRMD) delivered record sales, and Rubicon Organics (TSXV: ROMJ) maintained its premium LP leadership while growing revenue.Finally, tomorrow marks another milestone in federal cannabis rescheduling as the briefing deadline arrives and the administrative process moves toward the ALJ’s recommendation.It’s a week that signals M&A is here.#TradeToBlack #CannabisNews #CannabisStocks #FRE #Curaleaf #AuroraCannabis #EarningsSeason #CannabisRescheduling #CannabisMNA #TDRWeeklyRecap #CannabisIndustry Want to see more Cannabis Reform?🎬    • Cannabis Rescheduling Enters New Phase Nex...  🎬    • Texas Hemp Crackdown Sparks Donor Influenc...  🎬    • Congress Moves to Keep Hemp‑THC Drinks Leg...  Want to stay updated on Cannabis, Small Cap, AI, and Crypto?Subscribe to our Daily Baked newsletter:https://newsletter.thedalesreport.com...Find us on social media and podcast platforms:✅ Facebook:   / thedalesreport  ✅ Twitter:   / thedalesreport  ✅ Instagram:   / dalesreport  ✅ LinkedIn:   / the-dales-report  Apple Podcasts: https://tinyurl.com/TDRTradetoBlackon...Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/TDRTradeToBlackon...Website: https://thedalesreport.com/For copyright matters, contact:[email protected] Disclaimer (Financial Interests)The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of any company, organization, or employer.
