Chicago Atlantic Real Estate Finance (NASDAQ:REFI) stands out in the cannabis capital providers and mortgage REIT (mREIT) sectors due to its premium valuation, impressive dividend yield, and robust growth track record. Pablo Zuanic, a senior equity analyst, noted in a recent report, "Of the six publicly listed cannabis capital providers, five are NASDAQ listed, being NLCP (OTC:NLCP) the exception.
