Topps: Be Careful Here

Image
  Topps reported Q1 sales that surged 55% to $166.6 million. The sports card market has seen a huge correction since the SPAC deal was announced in April. The stock isn't exactly expensive with a market cap of $1.3 billion, but the company faces a tough road over the next year as card demand slumps. Looking for a portfolio of ideas like this one? Members of Out Fox The Street get exclusive access to our model portfolio.  Learn More » Since Topps agreed to a deal with SPAC  Mudrick Capital Acquisition Corp. II  ( MUDS ), the market has turned negative on their primary market and this vehicle for going public. Both SPACs and sports trading cards have cooled off in the last couple of months altering the near-term attractiveness of the stock. My long-term  investment thesis  remains bullish on Topps as a company, but the sports card market weakness is likely to push this stock lower heading into the merger close.

After closing a SPAC deal, InterCure  ( OTCPK:IRCLF )  offers an impressive opportunity to invest in European growth via a small Israeli company. The stock is a solid buy considering the company doesn't come with an expensive price tag like most Canadian cannabis companies playing in European cannabis markets.

Sprout Social: Limited Upside For Now

  Sprout Social offers a software solution for participating in the growth of enterprises leaning into social media. The company has recently ramped up revenue growth rates above 30%, but growth is likely to normalize back towards the mid-20% rate before COVID-19.

Ayr Wellness: Doing Very Well

  Ayr Wellness forecast revenues soaring over 54% sequentially to $90 million. The small MSO will quickly rival the size of global cannabis stocks with market valuations in excess of $10 billion. The stock trades at only 7x EV/2022 EBITDA target of $300 million. This idea was discussed in more depth with members of my private investing community, Out Fox The Street.  Learn More » The cannabis space has taken a pause since a big rally that peaked in February based on the election of Joe Biden in the U.S Presidential election. With or without the Democrats now in charge pushing for federal legalization of cannabis,  Ayr Wellness  ( OTCQX:AYRWF ) continues to benefit by a slow approval process leaving most firms stuck on the sidelines. My  investment thesis  remains very bullish on the stock trading around $30 and valued at about half the EBITDA multiples of the sector.

Nikola: Making Progress, But Lacks Capital

Image
  Nikola has started making real progress towards becoming a legitimate BEV manufacturer. The company forecast delivering up to 100 units by year end after starting trial production this month. The company needs more capital and normal production delays are likely to disappoint shareholders. Investors should wait for a dip to buy the stock as a 9x EV/S target for 2025 is still expensive for the risk. Looking for more investing ideas like this one?
