My guest on the show today is Mathieu Martin, Portfolio Manager at Rivemont MicroCap Fund. I've known Mathieu a long time, and he's a regular guest on the show. He's a generalist microcap investor who recently started exploring a sector many investors have written off entirely: Canadian cannabis. After years of avoiding the space due to its speculative excesses, Mathieu has been seeing the potential for a turnaround — with cleaner balance sheets, improving fundamentals, and profitable operators finally emerging.

In this episode, we talk about what’s changed in the Canadian cannabis landscape — from rationalized supply and reduced competition, to international export markets and stronger brand differentiation. Mathieu shares how he uncovered opportunities like High Tide, why some vertically integrated players like Cannara Biotech and Rubicon stand out, and how excise tax reform or expanded retail footprints could serve as powerful catalysts for the sector.

We also dig into why most investors are still stuck on the legacy LPs from the 2017–2019 bubble — and what they’re missing. Mathieu explains the importance of reading cash flow statements over flashy revenue growth, highlights accounting red flags, and discusses how to navigate this highly regulated, capital-intensive market with discipline.

If you’ve written off cannabis or simply haven’t revisited the Canadian names in years, this conversation might just change your mind, and for full disclosure, we discussed a number of companies on today's episode, and I'm not a shareholder in any of them.
