Morgan Stanley analyst Kai Pan noted that academic studies do not agree on the potential impact on car accidents from legalized recreational use of marijuana, but he still believes Canada’s legalization could pose a risk to Canadian auto insurers. IFC, the largest auto insurer in Canada, is not immune to this challenge but given its long-term outperformance versus peers and strong claims management, Pan thinks the company should be better positioned in addressing this challenge, he tells investors. Publicly traded companies in the cannabis space include Aurora Cannabis (ACBFF), CV Sciences (CVSI), CannTrust Holdings (CNTTF), Canopy Growth (CGC), Cronos Group (CRON), General Cannabis (CANN), India Globalization Capital (IGC) and Tilray (TLRY).
