AGH - Althea Group Holdings

[System]

Althea Group Holdings is the holding company of Althea Company Limited.

Althea Company was founded in Melbourne in 2017 with a view to acquiring the necessary licences and permits to import, cultivate, produce and supply medicinal cannabis for eligible patients across Australia. Through strategic supply and distribution partnerships, Althea Company has been able to commence sales of five Althea branded medicinal cannabis products in Australia.

Althea Group proposes to grow its current revenue through implementing targeted strategies aimed at increasing sales of imported medicinal cannabis products and expanding its current local operations through the construction of a 4,080m2 cannabis cultivation and production facility in Skye, Victoria. The goal is to produce approximately 3 tonnes of high grade dried medicinal cannabis flower each year at the facility. Subject to future local or international demand, a supportive business case and Althea Group obtaining the relevant licences and permits described in sections 3.8 and 4.3 to export cannabis products, Althea Group may assess at the appropriate time the potential to expand the size and scale of its proposed cannabis cultivation and production facility to capitalise on increased local demand and any future available export markets.

It is anticipated that AGH will list on the ASX during September 2018.

Great start for Althea Group Holdings after listing on Friday. Offer price was 20c per share and it is currently trading at 69c. You don't see stag profits like that much anymore on new floats. Well done to all who got on board in the IPO.

Althea receives green-light to cultivate hemp, teams up with Tissue Culture Australia

Agriculture Victoria has given Althea Group Holdings (ASX: AGH) the green light to cultivate hemp in the state, while Tissue Culture Australia has agreed to assist Althea in developing tissue cultures for its proposed growing facility.


The hemp cultivation licence now enables Althea to grow and process low-THC hemp plants, which the company plans to do at its Victorian production facility, which is planned for commissioning next year.


Meanwhile, in parallel with obtaining the hemp cultivation licence, Althea has signed an exclusive agreement with Tissue Culture Australia to produce tissue culture protocols for cannabis plants.


Tissue cultures are believed to have advantages over traditional cannabis propagation in terms of yield, disease resistance and superior control over genetics.


According to Althea, tissue culture is also in demand with hemp growers seeking large quantities of high-quality plants to begin outdoor cultivation.


“Being granted the hemp cultivation licence allows us to obtain hands-on production experience with cannabis plants in a tissue culture laboratory environment, immediately,” Althea director of cultivation Daniel Mansfield said. More...

ASX cannabis share Althea has jumped 535% in less than a year
James Mickleboro | July 15, 2019

It has been yet another positive day of trade for the Althea Group Holdings Ltd (ASX: AGH) share price.

In afternoon trade the cannabis company’s shares are up a sizeable 10.5% to a new all-time high of $1.27.

This latest gain means that Althea’s shares have now gained a remarkable 535% since listing on the ASX at 20 cents per share in September.

Why is the Althea share price on fire?
Investors have been snapping up the company’s shares since its IPO thanks to a series of positive developments.

One major development was the receipt of key manufacture and export licences late last year which mean the company now has a full complement of Office of Drug Control cannabis licences.

Since then the company has seen its patient numbers grow at a very quick rate. In fact, the company reached its 1,000-patient milestone in Australia five months ahead of schedule.

But arguably the biggest development has been the company’s successful expansion into the UK market.

In May the company announced the launch of Althea Concierge UK. This is a medical education platform, which was launched in Australia in September 2018, that provides medical education and clinical evidence for healthcare professionals looking to prescribe medicinal cannabis.

The platform supports Althea UK’s entry to the market by streamlining the prescription process and facilitating patient referrals from primary care doctors to Althea UK specialist prescribers.

This led to the company receiving its first patient prescription for Althea medicinal cannabis in the UK last month.

And it is unlikely to be the last. Also announced last month was an agreement with independent scientific committee Drug Science.

According to the release, its UK-based business has furthered its relationship with Drug Science with the goal of increasing the number of patients that can be prescribed medical cannabis in the UK market.

This comes at a time when Drug Science is just about to launch Project TWENTY21, which is the UK’s first national pilot for medical cannabis and aims to enrol 20,000 patients before the end of 2021. Althea looks set to benefit from the pilot as it has been selected to supply, on commercial terms, its range of products to Project TWENTY21.

Things haven’t been quite so positive for rival AusCann Group Holdings Ltd (ASX: AC8). A lack of meaningful developments has led to its shares shedding 40% of their value since the start of the year.

Announced a share purchase plan when the interest in cannabis stocks was high. The price promptly fell below the spp price of 0.44. It's not a promising sign when this happens. Naturally I'm not interested in the spp at a price above the current market price.

Hi,
I have nominated AGH as my top pick for the 2021 stock comp. This is based firstly on them sitting in what I believe to be a growing industry worldwide. Secondly, they have established themselves in Australia with the necessary licences for the cultivation and processing of CBD products within their brand new facilities. Thirdly, they are continuing to expand their market with new distribution deals within the UK, and through their subsidiary Peak Processing in Canada. I have been watching this company throughout 2020, and I think they have continued to grow as a company, both in scale and revenues. I am hopeful that the share price will reflect this in 2021 as the company continues to grow. Craig

Since the SPP in Dec20 price has drifted higher and tempted me into a speculative buy. The timing was great as price moved higher straight away. All was good as the price consolidated. I waited patiently for the next move up. Only the market didn't move up. The sentiment turned bearish and AGH was sold off along with most of the 'growth" stocks.

Never the less I held my nerve as price approached my trailing stop which was based on the weekly time frame. Be strong and hold the line I shouted. Alas, price hit my exit near the entry point and I sold.

The market is a cruel vixen, for as soon as I sold, the price spikes 13% on a day without news. I can only chuckle as the dance continues (with another partner).

April 2021 Competition Entry
Positives for AGH include a growing international customer base and consumer product awareness, continued revenue growth and an ok balance sheet.

Something positive in the abandoned cannabis space.
AGH reported a stronger June Qtr and a full year of 'only' $1.1m cash depletion. AGH had $6.6m cash though at end of period and no debt. Does sound like they're making headway with plausible claims of headwinds during the year. They mention Covid restrictions handicapping sales staff, supply chain disruption and floods in QLD and NSW. How could you value this company?



Another cannabis stock that surged: ZLD

Weekly Small Cap and IPO Wrap: Yes we cannabis; Zelira adds 180% this week, Althea Group up 50% - Stockhead

Small caps and ASX 200 down since Monday morning, global markets also lower on inflation fears but 2 x local pot stocks make their mark!

AGH Chart: funny how there were 4 strong volume bars leading into the Qtrly announcement and how the chart was relentlessly climbing since 2 high volume negative bars in June. ASIC will look into this as they have begun to ferociously rein in posters talking to their peers on forums, lol.

Reading the words “strict cost control” in the recent quarterly report for AGH was refreshing. The years of spending like shopaholics maybe behind AGH.

In July 2022 Boston Beer Company launched a cannabis infused beverage named TeaPot into the Canadian market, Peak Processing a wholly owned subsidiary of AGH was the manufacturer.
If the current trajectory of cost control, revenue and customer growth along with a positive launch of TeaPot by BBC and ultimately the awareness by the Canadian (worldwide) market of Peak Processing as a manufacturer, wholesaler, retailer and producer of its own Peak Brands will serve to build on the foundations for AGH.

With the positives flowing into the 1st quarter of 2022/2023 being September 30, looking forward to what could be AGH’s first ever quarter to achieve cash flow positive or very very close to it.

DYOR.

The surge of market interest in AGH turned into a bit of a nothing burger, although not all the rally is undone. I saw on some youtube video ('Wealth Within'?) that only 3 ASX listed Cannabis stocks have appreciated in price in 2022 in the bombed out sector. I jotted down the names in order of performance, high to low: Cronos (CAU), Botanix (BOT), Hygrovest (HGV).

Bearish prolonged downtrend so avoid (is my motto).

AGH seems to be moving in the right direction, it’s likely the next quarterly report will tell a story of a business nearing to or at cashflow positive position.

 

[Go Figure]

My April 2023 Tipping Competition selection and definitely the last chance for this stock (you all know what will happen now that I said it’s on it’s last chance..?) management have been suggesting for a few quarters that Cashflow positive is near, we shall see or not.

 

[Go Figure]

My July 2023 Tipping Competition selection and definitely absolutely it’s definitely it’s last chance this time for this stock.

A cashflow positive is expected, along with the expansion into new regions has to push ? this stock along shortly.

 

[Go Figure]

My January 2024 Tipping Competition selection, I’ve said this before however this has absolutely to be the last chance for this stock.

Cashflow positive is expected to be the norm for this stock after an inconclusive but positive last quarter cashflow, holders are hoping it continues on in the right direction.

My April 2024 Tipping Competition selection.

After a serious cost cutting exercise where 1.5 million in annual saving was identified, the turning point for this business seems closer. Cashflow positive is expected to be the norm for this stock after an inconclusive but positive last quarter cashflow, holders are hoping it continues on in the right direction.
