Last week, Wall Street's consensus <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a>-year price target for the company jumped by 20%.

The company has undertaken so many share offerings, at-the-market offerings, warrant exercises, and debt-to-equity swaps that its outstanding share count ballooned by more than 1.1 billion shares in just five months. Following the exercising of 98.3 million warrants, I estimate the company has 1.66 billion outstanding shares.</p>\n<p>To add, Sundial's board approved a $1 billion shelf offering earlier this year. This would allow the company to potentially sell up to $1 billion worth of its stock over time. Translation: This share-based dilution isn't going to stop anytime soon. Having seen what incessant dilution did to<b>Aurora Cannabis</b>, Wall Street's price target wisely implies investors keep their distance.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/df6ef536d43baa33372dde88018439ea\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<p>Second, the company's transition to a retail model is coming fairly late in the hypergrowth portion of the cannabis industry's growth cycle. Aside from being behind most of its peers and having to build up its brand in a crowded retail market, Sundial has been forced to take sizable writedowns during its transition. While most of its peers are making the move to recurring profitability, Sundial's losses will stand out like a sore thumb.</p>\n<p>And third, the company's fundamentals have wildly detached from its current valuation (even taking into account that it's lost 75% from its recent intraday highs). According to Wall Street, Sundial Growers is on track for $71 million in sales in 2021 and close to $82 million in 2022. This works out to respective multiples of 25 and 22 times sales. By comparison, most U.S. multistate operators are turning the corner to profitability and priced at roughly 3 to 5 times next years' sales.</p>\n<p>Wall Street isn't always right.
