Cresco Labs (OTCMKTS: CRLBF)
Cannabis stock Cresco Labs (OTCMKTS: CRLBF) is due to report its quarterly earnings on November 15. FactSet analyst consensus sees EPS at -$0.02 and sales at $279m. The CRLBF share price is down 46% YTD, but both 2022 sales and earnings are slated to show an improvement over 2021.

Combs' proposed acquisition will create the largest black-owned cannabis company in the world and affirms his commitment to the economic inclusion of underrepresented groups in cannabis.
Cresco and Columbia Care are in the process of divesting other assets to meet regulatory requirements ahead of closing the Columbia Care Acquisition. Additional announcements regarding those divestitures will be forthcoming. The company is working through regulatory reviews and approvals to complete the Columbia Care Acquisition as soon as possible, which is now expected to be around the end of the first quarter of 2023.
