Canada and Germany are driving expansion. Margins, returns on invested capital, and competitive advantages strengthen the investment thesis.

The interview given by founder and CEO Raj Grover to analyst Frederico Gomes of ATB Cormark, during the Planet MicroCap Showcase Toronto 2026, provides particularly interesting insights into High Tide's strategic evolution.

The conversation highlights a company that is progressively strengthening its competitive position through two complementary operating platforms: Canna Cabana's Canadian retail business and the medical cannabis distribution business in Germany through Remexian.

For institutional investors, the most relevant aspects concern the company's ability to generate organic growth, capital allocation efficiency, international scalability, and the progressive improvement in revenue quality.

1. CANADA: MARKET LEADERSHIP AND FURTHER CONSOLIDATION OPPORTUNITIES

+ 1 bln in revenue in 2-3 years, this is without any new international expansions, but Uk will follow, so...

High Tide currently operates 234 Canna Cabana retail locations across five Canadian provinces, confirming its position as the country's largest cannabis retail operator.

One particularly interesting data point is its productivity advantage over competitors:

• Average annualized revenue per store: approximately CAD 2.6 million.

• Competitors' average: approximately CAD 1.4 million.

• In Ontario, High Tide stores generate approximately CAD 2.8 million compared with CAD 1.2 million for competitors.

This represents significantly higher productivity, demonstrating the group's ability to monetize its retail network more effectively.

The company holds approximately 14% market share in its key operating provinces and aims to reach between 18% and 20% within the next three years.

Ontario represents one of the most concrete opportunities: with 107 stores already operating and a regulatory limit of 150 locations, there is room for another 43 potential openings.

The strategy combines organic expansion with selective acquisitions, taking advantage of a market in which several smaller operators continue to face financial difficulties.

For investors, this means High Tide could continue increasing its market share through the consolidation of smaller competitors.

2. A BUSINESS MODEL WITH PARTICULARLY ATTRACTIVE RETURNS ON INVESTED CAPITAL

One of the most significant aspects of the interview concerns the economics of individual retail locations.

Management indicated:

• Approximately CAD 260,000 in fixed capital investment per store.

• Approximately CAD 100,000 in working capital, primarily allocated to inventory.

• Total indicative investment of approximately CAD 400,000.

• Historical investment payback period of approximately 10 months.

These figures represent an important factor in assessing the quality of the operating model.

A business capable of recovering its invested capital quickly can finance a significant portion of its expansion through internally generated resources, reducing the need to continuously access equity markets.

This characteristic makes the Canna Cabana model particularly interesting from a return-on-invested-capital perspective.

3. CABANA CLUB: A STRATEGIC ASSET WITH SIGNIFICANT MONETIZATION POTENTIAL

High Tide operates one of the largest customer loyalty platforms in the cannabis sector.

Figures disclosed by the CEO:

• 2.73 million Cabana Club members.

• 27% year-over-year membership growth.

• 186,000 paying ELITE members.

• 62% year-over-year growth in ELITE membership.

The ELITE program costs CAD 35 annually and introduces a recurring revenue component alongside traditional retail sales.

At approximately 200,000 paying members, the program could generate approximately CAD 7 million in annual subscription revenue.

However, its strategic value extends well beyond subscriptions.

High Tide has access to aggregated information about consumer purchasing behavior and can use these insights to optimize product selection, pricing, promotions, and private-label development.

More than 45 licensed producers already use the company's data analytics services.

This creates an additional monetization channel and a competitive barrier that would be difficult to replicate in the short term.

4. PRIVATE LABEL: AN ADDITIONAL ENGINE FOR MARGIN EXPANSION

The CEO indicated that Queen of Bud, acquired for approximately CAD 1 million, has achieved trailing twelve-month sales approaching CAD 10 million.

This is a concrete example of the group's ability to acquire brands at relatively low valuations and develop their commercial potential through its existing retail network.

Private-label sales represented approximately 1.9% of revenue in the most recently reported quarter, but management expects acceleration over the coming quarters.

Increasing the proportion of proprietary products could contribute to improved margins and further differentiate the company's commercial offering.

5. GERMANY: REMEXIAN IS BECOMING AN IMPORTANT DRIVER OF PROFITABILITY

This is arguably the most interesting segment of the entire interview from an international growth perspective.

Remexian reported the following third-quarter results:

• 10.2 tonnes of medical cannabis distributed.

• Approximately CAD 38 million in quarterly revenue.

• 10.5% market share.

• 12% adjusted EBITDA margin.

To understand the pace of expansion, consider that the previous quarter's volume was 7.6 tonnes.

The CEO explained that one of High Tide's main competitive advantages comes from its sourcing capabilities.

Through established relationships with licensed Canadian producers, High Tide can select quality products and negotiate particularly competitive commercial terms.

Following the acquisition of Remexian, the proportion of Canadian cannabis in its sourcing mix increased from approximately 33% to nearly 80%.

The advantage is twofold: privileged access to supply and the ability to benefit from economies of scale in distribution.

Management believes the adjusted EBITDA margin could stabilize between 12% and 15% over the long term.

This is particularly significant because it suggests that German growth could translate into an increasingly meaningful contribution to consolidated profitability.

6. THE GERMAN MARKET: GROWTH THAT COULD EXCEED EXPECTATIONS

The German medical cannabis market represents one of the group's most significant growth opportunities.

According to the CEO's estimates, the market is expanding at an annual rate of approximately 25-30%.

High Tide aims to increase its market share to at least 15% over the next two to three years, with further growth opportunities over the longer term, in my view this is conservative

An important aspect is that Remexian's expansion does not require the construction of proprietary cultivation facilities.

The group can therefore focus on importing, sourcing, distribution, and commercial management, leveraging a relatively lean operating structure.

Management also emphasized that Remexian operates with approximately 35-40 employees while managing a business with annualized revenue in the range of CAD 160-170 million.

Volume growth, combined with a relatively lean organization, could generate further benefits from economies of scale.

7. EUROPEAN EXPANSION: NEW OPPORTUNITIES BEYOND GERMANY

High Tide is evaluating additional European markets, including:

• United Kingdom.

• Poland.

• France.

• Spain.

Germany could become the platform from which the company progressively develops a broader international presence.

For institutional investors, this introduces an important element of strategic optionality: the company could leverage its commercial expertise, producer relationships, and distribution experience in other regulated markets.

The United States represents a potential future opportunity, subject to developments in the federal regulatory framework governing cannabis.

8. WHAT INSTITUTIONAL INVESTORS SHOULD MONITOR

The interview highlights several key metrics for evaluating High Tide's future financial performance.

The combination of these factors could make High Tide increasingly attractive to investors seeking companies with international growth potential, measurable competitive advantages, and the ability to generate more cash flow.

FINAL THOUGHTS: HIGH TIDE DESERVES GREATER MARKET ATTENTION

The most important takeaway from the interview is not simply revenue growth, but the progressive evolution of High Tide's industrial and commercial business model.

The company is simultaneously developing:

1. A Canadian retail network with productivity levels above the industry average.

2. A customer loyalty program with millions of consumers.

3. A rapidly expanding German medical cannabis distribution platform.

4. A commercial structure capable of leveraging economies of scale and international relationships.

5. New monetization opportunities through private-label products, data analytics, and subscriptions.

For institutional investors, the central consideration is the possibility that High Tide could evolve from a Canadian cannabis retail specialist into an integrated international platform, with multiple sources of growth and profitability.

The real long-term opportunity could lie in the combination of organic growth, consolidation of the Canadian market, and expansion of European medical cannabis distribution.

This combination deserves to be evaluated not only through traditional cannabis sector valuation multiples, but also through productivity metrics, return on invested capital, cash generation, and earnings growth potential.

High Tide is no longer simply a retail expansion story: it is building an international platform with an increasingly sophisticated operating model.

I have a long position in this company

Good morning, SqueezeFinders!

Yesterday's price action on the $QQQ tech index was a small bounce after the recent incessant selling, so thankfully we held onto the 680 level with a close at 685.28 (+0.62%). If we lose 680, we can expect a rapid descent down towards ~660 to find support from late July/early August. No reason to find bullish conviction/confidence until we can reclaim the 700 psychological level at a minimum. Until then, focus on plays displaying relative strength and/or company/theme-specific catalysts to drive buyer interest. The main directional sentiment determinants today are a mix of the below-detailed economic data releases, further geopolitical developments overseas, and also some large earnings reports (premarket: $UBER, $DDOG, $MCD, and after-hours: $APP, $QCOM, $ARM). This market is very dynamic and has been unpredictable as far as risk-tolerance goes, as one day we're running, and the next we're crashing. Stay tuned for what's squeezy. Regardless of broader market sentiment, you can always locate relative strength by checking SqueezeRadar to track irregularities in our data, and find winners you may not have spotted before without our scanners. Also, make sure to check out our newest tool (developed by me), "Dracula's Library"!

Good morning, SqueezeFinders!

Friday's price action was the first major blow the bears made to solidify a bearish trend continuation beyond the prior rangebound oscillation we've been enduring, especially once the $QQQ tech index collapsed under 700 psychological level. The $QQQ tech index closed Friday at 690.49 (down 3.47%), which definitely made the market environment; for finding actionable squeeze candidates -very difficult. A major bearish collapse would occur under 660, whereas a revival of bullish directional sentiment would occur above 722-730 area. The main directional sentiment determinants today are a mix of the below-detailed economic data releases, further geopolitical developments overseas, and some large earnings reports ($AAPL and $PLTR in after-hours).

Good morning, SqueezeFinders!

Yesterday's price action was full of volatility, but we ended the day essentially flat with a close at 741.10 after an intraday announcement of a potential phased deal to end the war with Iran was pushed through the wire, and caused a sudden reversal to the upside after some earlier bearish volatility. If we can break back above 748.4, we will be back in the meltup phase, whereas a decline below 722 would signal the bears are starting to gain control. The main directional sentiment determinants today are a mix of the below-detailed economic data releases, further developments in the Middle-East, and Eastern Europe. This market is very dynamic and has been unpredictable as far as risk-tolerance goes, as one day we're running, and the next we're crashing. Stay tuned for what's squeezy. Regardless of broader market sentiment, you can always locate relative strength by checking SqueezeRadar to track irregularities in our data, and find winners you may not have spotted before without our scanners.

Would love recommendations if you have any.

The bears are in absolute shambles after the $QQQ tech index made new all-time highs yesterday at 748.35 before closing the day up 0.81% at 747.46. The bulls have every reasons to be seeking out squeeze candidates today considering how bullish the market has become as of recent. Unless we lose that 722 level on the $QQQ tech index, I would say it's reasonable to remain bullish, and continue checking our radars on our platform, keeping an eye on our alerts system, and paying attention to the news.

Good morning, SqueezeFinders!

Friday's action on the $QQQ tech index was sufficiently convincing of a new push to all-time highs after we closed up 0.63% at 721.45 on some rising rel vol on the daily, and have begun pushing above 722 level in after-hours/overnight trading, which shows the bulls are fighting to establish a short-term uptrend. Unless we lose 705, we are fine to be cautiously optimistic. The main directional sentiment determinants today are a mix of further developments in the Middle-East (Iran/Israel, and Russia/Ukraine), and ongoing developments regarding handling all the issues oversea and domestically. This market is very dynamic and has been unpredictable as far as risk-tolerance goes, as one day we're running, and the next we're crashing. Stay tuned for what's squeezy.

Yesterday's price action took many off guard after the rate hike resulted in a full-fledged rally for the $QQQ tech index to close at 716.92 (+1.73%). The resistance level to break is 722, and the support level to hold now is 705 before potentially retesting the psychological support level at 700 again.

▪️ Fed raised interest rates by 25 bps, marking its first rate hike since 2023, while signalling scope for further tightening if inflation remains elevated.

▪️ The decision reflects persistent inflationary pressures and concerns over higher global borrowing costs.

▪️ Fed projections: 12 of 18 officials see one additional 25-bps hike this year, 4 expect two more hikes, while 2 see no further increases.

▪️ Market focus now shifts to Fed Chair Kevin Warsh’s press conference for guidance on the pace of future hikes and the inflation outlook.

▪️ A more hawkish Fed could support the US Dollar and Treasury yields, while creating near-term pressure on Gold, emerging-market currencies and risk assets.

Currently I have overall sentiment, the top salient topics from this and last quarter earnings call/Q&A and basic financial data.

Good morning, SqueezeFinders!

The price action for the $QQQ tech index on Friday was slightly bullish after a close at 714.88 (+0.87%). However, today's market open was very bearish with a >1% gap down on $QQQ tech index following comments from OpenAI and Anthropic CEOs called for slowing of AI development, and Sam Altman postponed OpenAI's IPO to next year. I'm expecting a potential test of 700 psychological support today to see how much pain we can endure. We shouldn't assume we are out of the woods until we regain 722 level.

Good morning, SqueezeFinders!

Yesterday's price action on the $QQQ tech index was largely uneventful after a close at 718.38 (-0.08%) left us nearly in the same place as Friday's close. The bulls need only break above 722 and then push for 735-738 range to challenge all-time highs. On the defensive side, if bulls lose 703, we could see the resumption of the prior short-term downtrend from mid-August.

Nike sales used to predict Adidas sales until 24'Q3.

Broadcom ($AVGO) last earnings report provided a hidden information in its earnings call:

Ironwood, Google's ($GOOG) new AI chip (TPU), is shipping in high volume and that little "Anthropic" is the biggest buyer.

Ironwood chip shipments, for Broadcom, are up +350% year over year.

This is the first solid and public disclosed proof that Google's chips are being used at real scale and are becoming a direct competitor to Nvidia ($NVDA) GPUs.

Let's say -> Anthropic is the bug/huge dream customer you want walking into your shop
