These 3 Marijuana Stocks Should Be On Your May Watchlist
Some marijuana stock investors are still feeling the uncertainty of seeing more sustained momentum in the sector. As many can see the last several months of trading for some of the top marijuana stocks to watch have dropped significantly. Even with news of potential federal reform and more states going legal, it has not moved the needle for most cannabis companies. Currently, companies are starting to release earnings and some are showing positive results.
However, as some cannabis companies show good earnings news like this hasn’t resonated well with other marijuana stocks the way it used to. This current drop in trading for some goes way beyond volatility. Many events that have occurred in the last year have all played a factor in both operational and market performance. Yet some investors see what’s happening with the cannabis sector and have turned it into a buying and hold type of game. With the sector continuously trades down finding the best marijuana stocks to invest in is now more affordable to do. For instance some of the companies trade above 5$ so technically they are not considered marijuana penny stocks.
For instance, a company like GrowGeneration Corp. (NASDAQ:GRWG) who once was trading between $50-$60 back in February is now trading between $40-$35. With a 45 percent drop in from the first week and half of February, this company like many others is now at a better buying opportunity than before. The main concern is when will marijuana stocks start to see a better recovery that can reach a level that makes investors solid returns. With all that’s going on in the overall stock market, it seems to be a game of patience. With more time left to find cannabis stocks to buy the companies below may have some value to offer.
