Welcome back to our weekly series,  Schaeffer's Cannabis Stock News Update, where we recap what happened in the world of marijuana stocks last week and we will look ahead at the pot stocks to watch in the upcoming week.

Investor interest in the cannabis industry continues to grow and the leading players continue to break through legal barrier after legal barrier, especially as the 2020 election becomes more and more pivotal for the industry. Right now, nine states and D.C. have legalized recreational marijuana and 29 states have legalized medicinal marijuana. Normally, when we talk "cannabis stocks," we are talking about companies that sell both recreational and medicinal cannabis. More and more companies, though, are starting to see the opportunity presenting in this quickly growing industry and we are continuing to see more marijuana initial public offerings (IPOs) on the calendar.

Here's a quick roundup of a major cannabis sector news last week (Oct. 26 through Oct. 30):

Akerna Corp. (NASDAQ:KERN), a leading compliance technology provider of the cannabis industry's ERP software technology, announced on Oct. 28 that it had priced a public offering of 5 million shares of its common stock at a public offering price of $2.40 per share. The Company expects that the gross proceeds of the offering of the shares will be approximately $12 million.

Arena Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:ARNA)
, a biotechnology company located in San Diego, and Longboard Pharmaceuticals, Inc., announced the launch of Longboard Pharmaceuticals and the completion of a $56 million financing led by Farallon Capital Management, LLC on Oct. 28.

cbdMD, Inc. (NYSE:YCBD)
, one of the leading cannabidiol (CBD) brands, announced on Oct. 27 that its CBD pet products brand, Paw CBD, has experienced another record quarter of net sales. Paw CBD’s third-quarter estimated preliminary quarterly net sales are expected to range between $1.6 million and $1.65 million, or a sequential quarterly growth of between 30% and 34% from the $1.23 million in net sales in the prior quarter ending on June 30.

FSD Pharma Inc. (NASDAQ: HUGE)
, announced on Oct. 29 that, subject to court certification and other customary conditions, the company has entered into a definitive settlement agreement concerning the class action litigation commenced by a plaintiff shareholder in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice in February 2019 relating to the build-out of its facility in Cobourg, Ontario.

Greenlane Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:GNLN)
, one of the largest global sellers of premium cannabis accessories, announced on Oct. 23, that it will be distributing Marley Natural accessories worldwide. The exclusive deal brings the iconic brand to specialty locations in Central and South America, the Caribbean, and Europe.

HEXO Corp. (NYSE:HEXO)
, announced the appointment of Emilio Imbriglio to its Board of Directors on Oct. 27. Mr. Imbriglio’s appointment fills the vacancy on the Board of Directors created by Natalie Bourque’s resignation as a director earlier this year. Mr. Imbriglio has also been appointed as a member of the Board of Director’s Audit Committee. The company also released its fourth-quarter earnings last week, reporting a 23% increase quarter-over-quarter in net income.

Intec Pharma Ltd. (NASDAQ:NTEC)
, announced on Oct. 29 a 1-for-20 reverse share split of its outstanding ordinary shares. The reverse share split was scheduled to become effective after trading closed on Oct. 29, and the Company's ordinary shares began trading on a split-adjusted basis on the Nasdaq Capital Market at the commencement of trading on October 30 under the Company's existing symbol "NTEC."  

Aurora Cannabis (NYSE:ACB) was downgraded by 
Cantor Fitzgerald analyst Pablo Zuanic from "overweight" to "neutral" and reduced its price target for the company. According to the analyst, there is simply just too much in the way of bad news for this company and it will continue to weigh down the stock price.

Next week residents of five states, Arizona, Montana, New Jersey, South Dakota, and Mississippi, will decide whether to adopt new medical and/or recreational cannabis laws. At this time, 33 states have adopted legal use of cannabis for medical use, and 11 of the 33 have also legalized cannabis for adult recreational use. Cannabis sales would create revenue of approximately $15 billion in the states if legalization passes. If the states adopt to legalize cannabis, then investors will see all major cannabis companies fight for the new markets.

Today's Stock Market News & Events: 11/02/2020

by Schaeffer's Digital Content Team

Last week was rough on the markets, and that's putting it lightly. Despite Thursday's bounce following economic data, the market resumed its selloff on Friday to secure all three major benchmarks their worst weekly losses since March, also locking in considerable monthly losses. For the most part, the finger of blame can be pointed at record highs in U.S. coronavirus infections. With no second stimulus to revive sentiment, hesitance surrounding the upcoming election as well as tightened restrictions internationally weighed heavily on the broader market. Big tech's lackluster earnings reports last week didn't help, either. 

The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI - 26,501.60) fell 0.6% on Friday, 6.5% last week, and 4.6% last month. The S&P 500 Index (SPX - 3,269.96) dropped 1.2%, for the day on Friday, 5.6% last week, and 2.7% for the month of October. The Nasdaq Composite (IXIC - 10,911.59) lost 2.5% for the day, dropping 5.6% last week and 2.3% for last month. Lastly, the Cboe Volatility Index (VIX - 38.02) added 1.1% for the day on Friday. Last week, the VIX added on a staggering 38% to land a 44.2% monthly win in October.

Today kicks off a week chockfull of opportunities for traders. The November 3 presidential election will undoubtedly capture most people's attention. However, there is still plenty of economic data to sift through and third-quarter earnings season remains in full swing with plenty of big names slated to report. We will start the week off with the ISM Manufacturing Purchasing Managers Index (PMI), Markit Manufacturing PMI, and construction spending reports. On the earnings docket, the major names will be Clorox (CLX), CVS, Estee Lauder (EL), Lumber Liquidators (LL), Marathon Petroleum (MPC), and PayPal (PYPL).

  • 5-Minute Market Rundown

It was a bloodbath on Wall Street this week, with the Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq all posting steep losses as coronavirus cases rose to record highs in the U.S. After optimism dwindled early in the week, the definitive lack of a second stimulus before the election weighed on the market as well. By Wednesday, investors became increasingly wary as lockdown restrictions tightened in Europe, and the Dow and S&P 500 posted their worst daily losses since June, with the former nabbing a fourth-straight loss -- its worst losing streak since February. A boost finally came on Thursday, however, in the way of economic data. U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) rose at its fastest pace ever to beat analyst expectations, while initial jobless claims came in at 751,000, well below the anticipated 778,000 and its lowest level since March. Unfortunately, that lone bright spot was unable to build momentum to Friday, with all three major indexes falling and heading for weekly losses. 

Tech, Chip Stocks Highlighted

Amid a week of earnings from Big Tech stocks, semiconductor manufacturers have been in focus. Ahead of Advanced Micro Devices' (AMD) quarterly report, options bulls weighed in after a Susquehanna price-target hike while sector peers Nvidia (NVDA) and QUALCOMM (QCOM) pulled back to historically bullish trendlines. Meanwhile, one of the new names on Schaeffer's Senior Quantitative Analyst Rocky White's list of highest weekly options volume is Intel (INTC), most likely due to the company's quarterly report. 

Two cybersecurity stocks were worth noting as well. With Zscaler (ZS) seeing long-term success, now looks like a good time to buy the dip. FireEye (FEYE) received a couple price-target hikes citing its future upside as well. 

Stay-At-Home Websites Popular Once More

As many in the country retreat back into stricter social distancing environments and investors eye "at-home" stocks, attention is returning to online shopping/streaming/social media websites. The options pits were more bearish than usual on both eBay stock (EBAY) and Amazon (AMZN) ahead of earnings, though calls still outweighed puts overall. After Pinterest's (PINS) blowout earnings, both options traders and analysts rushed in with bullish sentiment as the stock soared. One stock that had a dismal post-earnings session was Spotify (SPOT), despite the increase in premium subscribers.

The Upcoming Election Week

This coming week, investors will undoubtedly have most of their attention on the Nov. 3 presidential election. However, there is still plenty of economic data to sift through. Manufacturing and employment data will be on deck, while earnings season remains in full swing, leaving plenty of big names slated to report. Meanwhile, take a look at how the market typically performs both before and after election day

In perhaps the understatement of the century, there is an important election coming up. One must assume then, that volatility has been through the roof these last few months leading up to November 3. Instead, the equity market’s “fear gauge,” the Cboe Market Volatility Index (VIX) has not closed above 30 since Sept. 8 and hasn’t breached 24 on a closing basis since Aug. 28. This flatlining has created a tidy little channel with the 200-day moving average up top, and the 50-day moving average on the lower rung. But this consolidation has certainly been perplexing for options traders that were bracing for rampant volatility leading up to the election.

Does this mean market participants are simply sitting out the coming months? Far from it, it seems. Last week, Schaeffer's Senior V.P. of Research Todd Salamone had this to say about the VIX: "during the past 20 trading days, buyers on VIX futures options have purchased more puts than calls. In other words, the bet is that volatility will head lower. This is extremely unusual because typically more calls are purchased than puts." Given everything the investor has gone through in 2020, such an assertation is noteworthy, especially less than two weeks from one of the most important elections of our lifetime.

Todd later ascertained that "with active investment managers now fully invested like they were in August, and net shorts on VIX futures now exceeding 100,000 contracts, the lower volatility bet might be getting too crowded." A closer look at volume sets off even more alarm bells. The 20-Day VIX put volume has now surpassed 20-day VIX call volume. Put volume has surpassed the one million mark, while call volume has declined below 650,000 contracts cumulatively over past twenty days. Per the chart below, the 20-day call/put ratio (in black) has been in a channel between 1.0 and 2.0 since the onset of the pandemic. That channel has now been broken, with the ratio last seen extending its recent decline to 0.63.

It’s an odd time to bet on lowered volatility, but it doesn’t necessarily suggest a contrarian strategy is being deployed. The political landscape today is a volatile as its ever been, and that often translates to stock market volatility. Even though virtually every poll and pundit have former Vice President Joe Biden sizably ahead, 2016 should serve as a stark reminder in how much stock to take in polling. In other words, a prudent investor should be clued into what the VIX could do in the coming weeks. Schaeffer's Senior Market Strategist Chris Prybal was able to extend the Monday Morning Outlook VIX chart to encompass all of 2016. As you can see, the call/put ratio spent November 2016 nestled in that 1.0 and 2.0 channel, but the discrepancy with the VIX was not nearly as sharp as it is now.

VIX 20day CP ratio

Why does this even matter, if the VIX is only just a "fear gauge?" In terms of asset class performance this year, VIX leads the pack, up 101% year-to-date and with a 79% 12-month gain. For comparison, that year-to-date total is triple the asset class performance of the Nasdaq-100 (NDX). The year 2020 has been a banner one for volatility, but with 2021 is less than three months away, what does the VIX and its players have for a crescendo?

Per the chart below, the VIX futures spread (concerning front-month and second-month contracts) has reversed course and is now in decline. Using the VIX’s 20-day average as a proxy, the spread is coming off its largest reading on record. Plus, looking at the S&P 500 Index (SPX) white line, a correlation is starting to re-form with the VIX futures slope. It’s important to remember that this doesn’t necessarily articulate contrarianism in action, but all of this jostling and betting against the VIX and volatility will be one of the more interesting stock market trends to follow as 2020 delivers its final blows.

The shares of Activision Blizzard Inc (NASDAQ:ATVI) are down 1.3% at $76.75 in pre-market trading, after reporting third-quarter earnings and revenue that topped Wall Street's estimates. Additionally, the videogame maker is set to release a new "Call of Duty" game in mid-November, which prompted an upbeat holiday season forecast and at least two bull notes. 

Specifically, Piper Sandler and Cowen and Company chimed in with price-target hikes up to $100 and $88, respectively. Analysts were already bullish on ATVI coming into today, with 19 out of the 22 calling it a "buy" or better. Plus, the 12-month consensus price target of $95.24 is a 22.5% premium to last night's close.

Today's negative price actions has the stock trading at its lowest level since Sept. 8, and the equity is facing pressure from its 120-day moving average for the first time since bottoming out below the $58 area during the broader market's mid-March pullback. Still, longer term, the equity is up 39.2% year-over-year.

However, the sentiment in the options pits is leaning bearish. Activision stock sports a 10-day put/call volume ratio at the International Securities Exchange (ISE), Cboe Options Exchange (CBOE), and NASDAQ OMX PHLX (PHLX) that sits higher than 97% of all other readings from the past year, implying a healthier-than-usual appetite for puts.

What You Need to Know About e.l.f. Beauty (ELF)

by Schaeffer's Digital Content Team

e.l.f Beauty, Inc. (NYSE:ELF) is a cosmetics company based out of Oakland, California. The company supplies its products worldwide and is well-known for its inexpensive but high-quality products, and its strong online presence. The cosmetics company has performed fairly well with its revenue and net income throughout the pandemic, but that success is yet to be reflected in ELF's stock price. ELF is trading up 37% year-to-date, and has yet to surpass the $30 range, which is essentially the price of ELF stock when the company first went public. Nonetheless, ELF is up nearly 300% from its 52-week low of $7.58. The stock has also seen a 52-week high of $22.14, but the company is looking post-earnings pop from next week's quarterly report, set for after the close on Nov 4.

e.l.f. beauty has a market cap of $1.03 billion and a book value of $11.03 per share. The company's price-to-book ratio stands at 4.14. e.l.f. beauty has a trailing price-earnings ratio of 65.48, and a forward price-earnings ratio of 30.77. The company's price-earnings ratio at the moment is 65.61.

e.l.f. beauty has gone four-for-four in beatings expectations on its earnings reports over the past 12 months. The fourth quarter of 2019 was e.l.f. beauty's top-performing quarter in the past 12 months. The company was expected to report an earnings per share (EPS) of $0.15, but surpassed that with a reported EPS of $0.24. In the company's most recent quarterly report, e.l.f. beauty beat its target by 325%! The cosmetics company reported an EPS of $0.17, beating expectations by a margin of $0.13. Right now, e.l.f. beauty is anticipating a drop in its EPS down to $0.13. The company has a trailing 12-month EPS of $0.31.

The beauty company has had consistent annual revenue growth since its IPO with the exception of 2018, where revenue dropped by $2 million. e.l.f. beauty has grown its revenue by nearly $60 million over the past four years. The company has produced $287.61 million in revenue in just the past 12 months.

While e.l.f. beauty has been largely inconsistent with its revenue growth, the company has maintained a positive net income since 2016. In 2017, e.l.f. beauty significantly increased its net income as compared to the $5.3 million produced in 2016. e.l.f. beauty increased net income to $33.5 million in 2017, marking a well over a 500% year-over-year increase. The following year, in 2018, e.l.f. beauty was unable maintain that explosive growth rate, and dropped its net income by more than 50%. However, the company has been able to maintain a reported net income of approximately $15 million per year since 2018.

e.l.f. beauty currently has $54.22 million in cash and $150.49 million in total debt. The company’s balance sheet holds $453.10 million in total assets and $210.93 million in total liabilities. e.l.f. beauty's total equity stands at $242.17 million.

e.l.f. beauty remains a small market cap company with the potential bigger things, but has yet to produce consistent numbers that support the idea of ongoing growth. Even with a forward price-earnings ratio of 30.77, ELF stock would be completely overpriced.

The beauty company would need to replicate the success it had in 2018 on a more consistent basis in order for ELF stock to push past its comfort zone in the $20 range. It's important to note that the fact that e.l.f. beauty has maintained positive earnings throughout the pandemic is a testament to the company’s stability. For a retail company, e.l.f. beauty revenue has been largely unaffected by the COVID-19 shutdowns, which is an impressive feat for such a small company. However, ELF stock is overpriced at the moment. Unless the company exponentially speeds up its revenue growth, anything over $15 is likely too expensive for investors to jump on ELF stock.

Today's Stock Market News & Events: 10/29/2020

by Schaeffer's Digital Content Team

All three major market indexes closed in the red yesterday. Despite what's been a fairly positive third-quarter earnings season overall, the Dow has shed over 1,800 points this week already, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq closing deep in the red as well. Wall Street continues to grapple with an international resurgence of coronavirus cases in the week ahead of a pivotal U.S. election. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI - 26,519.95) fell 3.4% yesterday. The S&P 500 Index (SPX - 3,271.03) dropped 3.5%, while the Nasdaq Composite (IXIC - 11,004.87) lost 3.7% for the day on Wednesday. The Cboe Volatility Index (VIX - 40.28) added 20.8%.
