The company has effectively become a pure-play Mexican fiber-optic infrastructure business with only $755K cash and a 5-month runway. Monitor for a dilutive capital raise or debt restructuring — the January Notes are convertible and $4.8M was already converted post-period. The CEO change to First Towers' president signals full pivot to telecom, but the balance sheet is severely distressed with $22.9M liabilities against $6.4M assets.
Price Chart
Executive Summary
Akanda Corp. filed its H1 2026 6-K, reporting a net loss of $6.2M vs $815K in H1 2025, driven by a massive increase in general & administrative expenses ($3.7M vs $316K) and interest costs ($820K vs $18K). The company generated $404K in revenue from its First Towers fiber-optic subsidiary but burned $3.2M in operating cash flow. A subsequent event reveals the board abandoned all cannabis operations on September 24, 2026, terminating the BC property option and writing off ~$3.6M in prior investments. The company now relies solely on First Towers and has only ~5 months of cash runway.
