Marijuana Stock Watchlist For 2021
Is it time to start putting top marijuana stocks on the watchlist in April? So far this month the best cannabis stocks to invest in have continued to shed market value. Even on 4/20 most leading marijuana stocks saw downward momentum as the day progressed. But yesterday also marked the day the cannabis industry was given a small victory from the federal government. To elaborate the House passed the SAFE Banking Act which will allow cannabis companies to do business with financial institutions in the U.S.
Now with the bill heading toward the Senate, it’s possible a democratic lead floor may pass the bill on the 4th attempt. In essence, this could be the beginning of federal cannabis reform in America. As legal cannabis comes available for more than half the country top marijuana companies have continued a rapid expansion in the market. During 2020 and the first quarter of 2021 many cannabis companies expanded their presence with mergers and acquisitions as a means of quickly establishing a footprint.
One of the fastest-growing cannabis companies currently using these methods is Ayr Wellness Inc. (OTC: AYRWF). As a newcomer by way of a SPAC deal, Ayr has quickly opened 49 retail stores in seven key markets across the U.S. And this is just one instance of this trend in the industry. As more states become legal top cannabis companies are quickly establishing their presence in those emerging markets.
Cannabis Industry Expansions And Top Cannabis Stocks Right Now
Canadian cannabis companies are strategically getting in on the action as well. Most have established some form of entry into the U.S. cannabis market as soon as the federal government allows it. One example of this is Aphria Inc. (NASDAQ: APHA) with the acquisition of American Independent craft brewing company Sweet Water Brewing Company. For investors looking to pick up cannabis stocks to put on their watchlist this drop in market value could be a great opportunity.
In some ways, the cannabis sector has given new investors a chance to buy top marijuana stocks at much lower price points. After reaching new highs in February the best cannabis stocks to buy are trading at levels similar to December 2020. With Chuck Schumer pushing for cannabis reform once the new legislation is passed into law there could be a momentum shift for pot stocks.
Recently these marijuana stocks have seen a significant decline in value and have potential short-term value for investors. With this in mind, let’s take a look at these marijuana stocks to watch for a rebound.
