Dividend Power Score
A single, comprehensive score designed to measure the true strength of a company’s dividend.
This score combines three essential pillars of dividend quality:
Consistency – Measures how reliable the dividend has been over time, focusing on payment history, stability, and the absence of cuts or suspensions.
Payability – Assesses the company’s financial ability to sustain its dividend, taking into account cash flow, earnings coverage, balance sheet strength, and overall financial health.
Growth – Evaluates the long-term growth of both the dividend and the company’s share price, highlighting businesses that consistently increase payouts while creating shareholder value.
Higher scores identify companies that have historically delivered dependable income alongside sustained dividend growth and long-term capital appreciation.
Company Overview
Naughty Ventures Corp. is a Canada-based holding company historically focused on the cannabis cultivation, processing, and distribution industry. The company became publicly known through its prior identity as Wayland Group Corp., which pursued large-scale medical and adult-use cannabis production in Canada and selected international markets. Its primary historical revenue drivers were cannabis cultivation and wholesale supply, though commercial production was limited and inconsistent prior to financial restructuring.
The company’s evolution has been shaped by aggressive early expansion followed by financial distress. After facing liquidity constraints, governance challenges, and creditor actions, the company entered restructuring proceedings in 2019–2020 and subsequently rebranded as Naughty Ventures Corp. Public disclosures since the restructuring indicate that the company has operated primarily as a corporate shell with limited or no active operating revenues. Data inconclusive based on available public sources regarding any fully re-established core operating business as of the most recent filings.
Business Operations
Historically, the company’s business operations centered on cannabis cultivation and processing, supported by owned or leased greenhouse assets and licensed production capabilities in Canada. Prior to restructuring, it held cannabis licenses and cultivation infrastructure intended to supply both domestic and export medical markets. These operations were largely suspended or divested during creditor protection proceedings, and subsequent filings indicate minimal ongoing commercial activity.
Current operations, if any, appear limited to corporate management, asset oversight, and strategic evaluation, rather than active production or service delivery. The company does not clearly report material domestic or international revenue-generating operations in recent public disclosures. Data inconclusive based on available public sources regarding active subsidiaries, joint ventures, or revenue-producing assets currently under control.
Strategic Position & Investments
Strategically, Naughty Ventures Corp. has disclosed an intent to evaluate new investment opportunities, including potential acquisitions or business combinations, rather than continuing capital-intensive cannabis cultivation. This shift reflects broader industry contraction and the company’s post-restructuring balance sheet constraints. No completed transformative acquisitions or confirmed growth platforms have been consistently reported in recent regulatory filings.
The company does not currently disclose a diversified portfolio of operating subsidiaries or material equity investments. While management has referenced reviewing opportunities across regulated or emerging sectors, there is no verified evidence of significant deployed capital or controlling stakes in operating businesses. Data inconclusive based on available public sources regarding active strategic investments or emerging technology exposure.
Geographic Footprint
Historically, the company’s operational footprint was concentrated in Canada, with planned or exploratory exposure to European markets, including Germany, through export-oriented medical cannabis strategies. These international ambitions were curtailed during restructuring, and related licenses or partnerships were not sustained.
As of the most recent public disclosures, Naughty Ventures Corp.’s geographic presence appears limited to Canada, primarily at the corporate and regulatory level rather than through active operations. There is no verified evidence of meaningful international operations, assets, or revenue outside Canada at this time.
Leadership & Governance
The company’s governance structure has undergone multiple changes following restructuring, with leadership focused on compliance, corporate maintenance, and strategic review. Public filings emphasize stabilization and oversight rather than operational expansion. The company does not articulate a detailed long-term operating philosophy beyond evaluating shareholder-value opportunities.
Key executives and directors disclosed in recent public filings include:
- Gordon Camac – Chief Executive Officer
- Geoff Balderson – Chief Financial Officer
- Michael D. Moore – Director
Information on executive tenure, compensation, and long-term strategic vision remains limited in publicly available disclosures. Data inconclusive based on available public sources regarding broader management depth or succession planning.
