Why Aurora shares could go up:

When we look at the macro and microeconomic situation of the company Aurora Cannabis, several elements currently seem to support a rise in the price of this value with the following points:

• An increase in the revenue of the medical branch: the medical branch of the Aurora Cannabis group is currently and since 2021 experiencing significant growth internationally. The group continues to develop this high margin market.
• Largest regulated market: Canada, where Aurora Cannabis operates, is also the second country in the world after Uruguay to have fully legalized cannabis and is currently the largest federally regulated market in the world.
• A recovery in the recreational cannabis sector: on the other hand, the recreational cannabis segment is on the verge of recovery thanks to an acceleration of new store openings as well as a strong increase in consumer demand.
• More flexible banking regulations in the U.S.: The U.S. House of Representatives approved the SAFE Banking Act, which now allows banks to work with cannabis businesses without risking penalties.
• A significant increase in the global market: the global cannabis market is still growing at an estimated rate of 20% per year for the medical cannabis segment alone. By 2026, this market is expected to be worth over $57 billion.

Why Aurora shares could go down:

If Aurora Cannabis is currently benefiting from good elements that are favourable to the rise of its share, some elements are more moderate and indicate more of a decline in this value including:

• Disappointing results in 2021: the fiscal year 2021 has been rather disappointing for analysts and investors who follow this stock with results below expectations and a significant decline in sales over the four quarters.
• Negative EBITDA: the EBITDA group's operating result is still in losses for this last fiscal year and the group still cannot generate a margin.
• Negative analysts' expectations: analysts' opinions regarding the cannabis market are also relatively negative at the moment, notably due to strong pressure on prices.
• No dividend: of course, the absence of dividend paid to the shareholders of the group is another weak point of this action which can slow down the operations to the purchase.
• Increasing competition: Aurora Cannabis is facing increasing and aggressive competition from other Canadian and international companies, which reduces the chances of gaining market share.
• A significant drop in share price: Finally, Aurora Cannabis shares have had a difficult few months recently with a loss of over 90% of their value since 2019.
