Neal Gilmer has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors including Cresco Labs’ financial performance and strategic initiatives. The company’s Q3 2025 results showed a slight increase in EBITDA, driven by better-than-expected gross margins, which indicates effective cost management and operational efficiency. Additionally, Cresco Labs has successfully strengthened its balance sheet by refinancing its senior credit facility and generating $6 million in operating cash flow, which underscores its financial stability.
Furthermore, Cresco Labs’ strategic decision to exit the California market allows it to concentrate on its core markets, enhancing its focus on margin expansion. The company’s plans to enter the international market, specifically Germany, with a branded flower launch, demonstrate its potential for growth and diversification. These factors collectively contribute to Neal Gilmer’s confidence in Cresco Labs’ future prospects, justifying the Buy rating.
