With AMD's&nbsp;latest earnings report&nbsp;on Tuesday, the title is no longer uncontested, even with the dramatic difference in absolute dollar figures between the two. One is growing big time while the other has been in a perpetual state of discord, in part or in whole, due to unresolved business direction. On Tuesday, AMD proved it isn't relenting any time soon in its pursuit of taking the semiconductor bellwether title. In fact, it may change the definition altogether as the growth it's producing in this sector is unheard of. It's time I give AMD the thumbs up and not just watch on the sidelines.</p>\n<p><b>Growth, Growth, Growth</b></p>\n<p>Much like the age-old adage for real estate of \"location, location, location\" to sell property, growth, growth, growth is the market's adage for share returns.</p>\n<p>The market is simple when it comes to tech and anything to do with it: It pays for growth, not indecision. AMD is growing, Intel is indecisive. And not just decision-making indecisive, I'm talking business execution indecisive.

With AMD's latest earnings report on Tuesday, the title is no longer uncontested, even with the dramatic difference in absolute dollar figures between the two. One is growing big time while the other has been in a perpetual state of discord, in part or in whole, due to unresolved business direction. On Tuesday, AMD proved it isn't relenting any time soon in its pursuit of taking the semiconductor bellwether title. In fact, it may change the definition altogether as the growth it's producing in this sector is unheard of. It's time I give AMD the thumbs up and not just watch on the sidelines.\nGrowth, Growth, Growth\nMuch like the age-old adage for real estate of \"location, location, location\" to sell property, growth, growth, growth is the market's adage for share returns.\nThe market is simple when it comes to tech and anything to do with it: It pays for growth, not indecision. AMD is growing, Intel is indecisive. And not just decision-making indecisive, I'm talking business execution indecisive. AMD is proving it can produce monstrous growth, and Intel is proving incremental growth is all it can do.\nThe chart is simple. These are two very different companies:\nChart mine, data from AMD and Intel earnings reports (non-GAAP for Intel)\nBoth companies experienced a similar slowdown during the pandemic quarter of last year (Q2), but these two companies couldn't be any more different from there.

But, to still guide for near 50% growth with that tough comp is what, in part, is driving my bullishness.\nThe Valuation Proves It\nNow, of course, the market is in fact paying differently for both companies.

Legalizing marijuana at the federal level in the U.S. might create a regulatory burden that's even more prohibitive than what legal pot companies already experience from the individual states.</p>\n<p>What the marijuana industry might need more than legalization is tax reform, because the current code is at odds with how legal cannabis businesses operate -- and with common sense.</p>\n<h2>Carrying a heavy burden</h2>\n<p>To prevent drug traffickers from profiting off their illegal activity, the federal government naturally prohibits them from taking tax deductions.</p>\n<p>While you wouldn't think that was necessary since what traffickers are doing is against the law, the tax court in the 1970s actually allowed a cocaine and amphetamines trafficker to deduct his \"business expenses,\" and Congress ended up enacting a law to prevent traffickers from doing that again.</p>\n<p>People don't consider their local marijuana dispensary owner to be anything like the guy hauling kilos of cocaine across the ocean in a cigarette boat and evading the Coast Guard. But because cannabis remains a Class I controlled dangerous substance, the Internal Revenue Service doesn't make any such distinctions.</p>\n<p>So legal cannabis companies like <b>Trulieve</b> (OTC:TCNNF) and <b>Cresco Labs</b> (OTC:CRLBF) are not permitted to deduct legitimate business expenses like marketing and advertising, health insurance premiums, interest, rent, or even employee salaries.</p>\n<p>Those deductions could be the difference between being profitable and running ruinous losses -- or for companies that do manage to turn a profit, from having additional resources to invest in their business.</p>\n<h2>Double jeopardy</h2>\n<p>The offending section of the tax code is Section 280e, which allows a cannabis business to deduct only the expenses directly related to sales of product, and not those associated with carrying on the actual business. So they're able to deduct the cost of goods sold, but not expenses related to selling, general, and administrative efforts.</p>\n<p>All this means a marijuana company is being taxed on its gross profits rather than operating income, which could make its effective tax rate well more than double a similarly structured business not in the cannabis industry. In short, marijuana companies might be taxed on more income than they actually make.</p>\n<p>Tim Winkler, controller at Ferro Cannabis, a Michigan-based cultivator of pot for medical and adult use, says the problem is more acute for dispensaries than for grow operations, but \"this is cash, so EBITDA [earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization] takes the hit as well.\"</p>\n<p>EBITDA is a metric many investors use to compare businesses, as it largely focuses on how a company is operating, its profitability, and its cash flow. While not perfect, it serves as shorthand for investors evaluating a business -- and since marijuana companies are not able to deduct any of the listed expenses, they are put at a disadvantage. And obviously, the bigger the business, the bigger the hit it takes in taxes.</p>\n<h2>The high cost of success</h2>\n<p>All this is why many marijuana companies don't operate in the U.S. <b>Canopy Growth</b>, <b>HEXO</b>, <b>Tilray</b>, and others remain firmly ensconced in Canada so that they're not subject to Section 280e oversight.</p>\n<p>Meanwhile, some companies -- such as multistate dispensary operators like <b>Curaleaf Holdings</b>&nbsp;(OTC:CURLF), <b>Green Thumb Industries</b> (OTC:GTBIF), Trulieve, and <b>Harvest Health &amp; Recreation </b>(OTC:HRVSF) (which Trulieve is acquiring) -- actually have it worse.</p>\n<p>Even though they're Canadian companies subject to Canadian taxes, because they operate state-level legal cannabis businesses in the U.S., they are taxed a second time as U.S. corporations. And in states that align their local tax codes with the IRS code, they can't deduct normal business expenses locally, either.</p>\n<p>The results are evident in their financial statements: As their business grows, their tax liability often increases exponentially.</p>\n<table>\n <thead>\n  <tr>\n   <th><p><b>Company</b></p></th>\n   <th><p><b>2019-2020 Revenue Increase %</b></p></th>\n   <th><p><b>2019-2020 Income Tax Provision Increase %</b></p></th>\n   <th><p><b>No. of States Where It Operates</b></p></th>\n  </tr>\n </thead>\n <tbody>\n  <tr>\n   <td><p>Cresco Labs</p></td>\n   <td><p>292%</p></td>\n   <td><p>232%</p></td>\n   <td><p>18</p></td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td><p>Curaleaf</p></td>\n   <td><p>160%</p></td>\n   <td><p>247%</p></td>\n   <td><p>23</p></td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td><p>Green Thumb Industries</p></td>\n   <td><p>157%</p></td>\n   <td><p>802%</p></td>\n   <td><p>12</p></td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td><p>Harvest Health</p></td>\n   <td><p>98%</p></td>\n   <td><p>230%</p></td>\n   <td><p>5</p></td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td><p>Trulieve</p></td>\n   <td><p>106%</p></td>\n   <td><p>87%</p></td>\n   <td><p>6</p></td>\n  </tr>\n </tbody>\n</table>\n<p>Data source: Company websites.</p>\n<h2>Paying their fair share</h2>\n<p>Federal legalization of marijuana would obviously eliminate the undue burden cannabis companies face when calculating their taxes, but as noted previously, it could unleash a regulatory burden that might be just as bad as the current system.</p>\n<p>There's a reason the black market in marijuana still proliferates even where states have legalized it: The government has made the cost of doing business too expensive, which shows up in prices. It's often just cheaper to buy illegal weed.</p>\n<p>It's a testament to their businesses that Cresco and Trulieve have been able to grow sales faster than their taxes, but if cannabis companies had their druthers, they might just prefer the government to enact tax reform over marijuana legalization.</p>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Do Cannabis Stocks Need Tax Reform More Than Legalization?</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nDo Cannabis Stocks Need Tax Reform More Than Legalization?\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-06-29 10:05 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/06/28/do-cannabis-stocks-need-tax-reform-more-than-legal/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>The patchwork, state-by-state legalization of marijuana in the U.S. has created a market for cannabis companies that is less than ideal, leaving many people hoping the federal government will finally ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/06/28/do-cannabis-stocks-need-tax-reform-more-than-legal/\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"CRLBF":"Cresco Labs Inc.","TCNNF":"Trulieve Cannabis Corporation"},"source_url":"https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/06/28/do-cannabis-stocks-need-tax-reform-more-than-legal/","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"2146831625","content_text":"The patchwork, state-by-state legalization of marijuana in the U.S. has created a market for cannabis companies that is less than ideal, leaving many people hoping the federal government will finally decriminalize pot, as Canada has.\nYet the rollout of legal weed north of the border has also been marked by bureaucratic bungling that has inhibited cannabis stocks from realizing their full potential.

So they're able to deduct the cost of goods sold, but not expenses related to selling, general, and administrative efforts.\nAll this means a marijuana company is being taxed on its gross profits rather than operating income, which could make its effective tax rate well more than double a similarly structured business not in the cannabis industry. In short, marijuana companies might be taxed on more income than they actually make.\nTim Winkler, controller at Ferro Cannabis, a Michigan-based cultivator of pot for medical and adult use, says the problem is more acute for dispensaries than for grow operations, but \"this is cash, so EBITDA [earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization] takes the hit as well.\"\nEBITDA is a metric many investors use to compare businesses, as it largely focuses on how a company is operating, its profitability, and its cash flow. While not perfect, it serves as shorthand for investors evaluating a business -- and since marijuana companies are not able to deduct any of the listed expenses, they are put at a disadvantage. And obviously, the bigger the business, the bigger the hit it takes in taxes.\nThe high cost of success\nAll this is why many marijuana companies don't operate in the U.S. Canopy Growth, HEXO, Tilray, and others remain firmly ensconced in Canada so that they're not subject to Section 280e oversight.\nMeanwhile, some companies -- such as multistate dispensary operators like Curaleaf Holdings (OTC:CURLF), Green Thumb Industries (OTC:GTBIF), Trulieve, and Harvest Health & Recreation (OTC:HRVSF) (which Trulieve is acquiring) -- actually have it worse.\nEven though they're Canadian companies subject to Canadian taxes, because they operate state-level legal cannabis businesses in the U.S., they are taxed a second time as U.S. corporations. And in states that align their local tax codes with the IRS code, they can't deduct normal business expenses locally, either.\nThe results are evident in their financial statements: As their business grows, their tax liability often increases exponentially.\n\n\n\nCompany\n2019-2020 Revenue Increase %\n2019-2020 Income Tax Provision Increase %\nNo. of States Where It Operates\n\n\n\n\nCresco Labs\n292%\n232%\n18\n\n\nCuraleaf\n160%\n247%\n23\n\n\nGreen Thumb Industries\n157%\n802%\n12\n\n\nHarvest Health\n98%\n230%\n5\n\n\nTrulieve\n106%\n87%\n6\n\n\n\nData source: Company websites.\nPaying their fair share\nFederal legalization of marijuana would obviously eliminate the undue burden cannabis companies face when calculating their taxes, but as noted previously, it could unleash a regulatory burden that might be just as bad as the current system.\nThere's a reason the black market in marijuana still proliferates even where states have legalized it: The government has made the cost of doing business too expensive, which shows up in prices. It's often just cheaper to buy illegal weed.\nIt's a testament to their businesses that Cresco and Trulieve have been able to grow sales faster than their taxes, but if cannabis companies had their druthers, they might just prefer the government to enact tax reform over marijuana legalization.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":400,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":162564219,"gmtCreate":1624068480031,"gmtModify":1703828073421,"author":{"id":"3582686134372532","authorId":"3582686134372532","name":"Leonardk","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/676f5d832122882228ccbdd0362da858","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3582686134372532","authorIdStr":"3582686134372532"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Hang in there","listText":"Hang in there","text":"Hang in there","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/162564219","repostId":"1166679093","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1166679093","pubTimestamp":1624065234,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1166679093?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-19 09:13","market":"us","language":"en","title":"3 Meme Stocks Wall Street Predicts Will Plunge More Than 20%","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1166679093","media":"fool","summary":"Meme stocks have been all the rage so far this year.
