Shares of Canadian pot company Cronos slid by more than 5 percent Tuesday after reporting disappointing fourth-quarter revenue.
The company reported a net loss of CA$11.8 in the quarter, a loss of 6 Canadian cents per share. In the year-ago quarter, Cronos earned CA$667,000 equaling a Canadian penny per share. For all of 2018, Cronos' revenue reached CA$15.7 million , up from CA$4.1 million in 2017. It posted a net loss of CA$19.2 million , or a loss of 11 Canadian cents per share, compared to a profit of CA$1.8 million , or 1 Canadian cent per share in 2017.
Altria bought a 45 percent stake in Cronos for $1.8 billion in December. Shortly after, the tobacco company spent $12.8 billion for a 35 percent stake in e-cigarette company Juul. When asked whether investors could assume this would lead to Cronos and Juul working together, Cronos CEO Michael Gorenstein told analysts he views cannabis and nicotine as two very different markets.
