Few industries have grown at the pace of the legal cannabis industry in recent years. Cannabis research firm ArcView notes that North American sales catapulted higher by 33% to $9.7 billion in 2017, and they're on track to hit more than an estimated $47 billion in annual sales by 2027. That's the type of growth that investors and business owners have a very hard time overlooking, even if it's still an illicit drug at the federal level.
There's little denying that times are changing, with Canada on the verge of becoming the first developed country in the world to legalize adult-use cannabis, and 29 states in the U.S. having passed broad-based legislation on medical marijuana since 1996.

Meanwhile, profitability remained weak in fiscal 2018 -- and the company needs to continue investing heavily to keep up with better-funded rivals, such as Nordstrom (NYSE:JWN) and Hudson's Bay's (NASDAQOTH:HBAYF) Saks Fifth Avenue chain. That will make it hard for Neiman Marcus' private equity owners to exit their ill-advised investment.
