Take Aurora Cannabis as a good example. Aurora has been busy acquiring companies left and right for the past three years, and is currently on track to be Canada's leading producer by peak production. But in the process, the company has ballooned its outstanding share count by 1 billion shares in roughly five years. Even though Aurora continues to add value by purchasing new pieces to its global puzzle, investors remain leery of the company issuing stock to finance these deals. With each share issuance, it becomes that much harder for Aurora Cannabis to generate a meaningful per-share profit, and that's been reflected in its shrinking market cap.
