The Biggest Cannabis Company in the United States
Bigger isn’t always better – except when it is. The tech world is full of examples. Amazon (AMZN) is an obvious one, as it makes inroads in everything from automated warehouses and delivery drones to retail automation. But is it truly the biggest ecommerce company on the planet? It depends on how you want to measure it. There’s market cap, where Amazon sits at about $860 billion, which is currently about $380 billion more than Chinese ecommerce rival Alibaba (BABA). However, when the yardstick is gross merchandise volume, which is the total value of all items sold, then Alibaba reigns as champ: $768 billion versus $239 billion. The dilemma of picking the biggest (baddest is usually easier) publicly traded cannabis company is equally tricky for reasons that we’ve already explained. Curaleaf (CUR:CN) claims the title based on market cap. Let’s dig into the company.
