During the last month, the cannabis sector has been trending higher and we are closely following trading activity.
Although the recent rally has not benefited every cannabis stock, we are encouraged by the performance of the sector so far this year.
Today, we have highlighted 5 North American cannabis companies that have benefited from the recent rally and have provided our commentary on them.
- Canopy Growth Corporation (Nasdaq: CGC) (TSX: WEED) has rallied more than 25% off its late December lows and we are bullish on the Canadian Licensed Producer (LP). During the last month, the stock has been trending higher and it recently broke above its 20 day moving average. Although we have a bullish long-term outlook on Canopy Growth, we would not be surprised to see the stock trade in a choppy range in the near-term (in the absence of favorable US legislation). We are favorable on Canopy Growth due to the strength of its balance sheet and will keep an eye on the trend from here.
- Innovative Industrial Properties (NYSE: IIPR) has been trending lower and has recorded a double-digit percentage decline since late December. The company is the best known cannabis real estate investment trust (REIT) and we have been closely following the business since its initial public offering (IPO). During the last year, the stock has been under considerable pressure and we will monitor how it continues to perform.
- SNDL Inc. (Nasdaq: SNDL) has rallied more than 15% off its late December lows. The Canadian cannabis company has been executing on an inorganic growth strategy (growing by making acquisitions) and we are closely following price movements. Although the stock has recently been trending higher, we continue to prefer other Canadian cannabis operators to it. SNDL recently completed the acquisition of Valens and we will monitor how the story advances from here
- Greenlane Holdings (Nasdaq: GNLN) has rallied more than 50% since late December and is an ancillary cannabis company that has never really lived up to expectations. Although the stock has recently been trending higher, it has fallen more than 97% from its 52-week high. We consider Greenlane to be a high-risk high-reward stock and continue to cautiously monitor it.
- Jushi Holdings (OTC: JUSHF) (CSE: JUSH) has also not benefited from the recent rally in the cannabis sector and the stock has fallen almost 20% since late December. The company is a US multi-state operator that is levered to several high profile cannabis markets (Pennsylvania, Virginia, Ohio, Illinois, California, Nevada, and Massachusetts). Last week, the company announced the opening of its 37th dispensary in the US and we will monitor how the business continues to advance.
