Best Marijuana Stocks With Dividends
Are you trying to find the best marijuana stocks for 2023? The US cannabis industry, which earns billions of dollars a year, has suffered as a result of the federal cannabis law’s delayed implementation. Using the sector’s decline, investors may be able to benefit from the current market trend. The cannabis market is also expected to more than double in size over the next five years, providing a chance for marijuana REITs to steadily increase in value.
Cannabis REITs pay dividends to long-term cannabis investors. The relative scarcity of dividends in the cannabis industry is one of the factors enticing long-term investors to these marijuana stocks. Over the previous five years, cannabis REITs have offered the best dividend growth, averaging over 20% annually. Cannabis REITs do pay out more than the norm for the REIT industry, though, at about 70% of their available FFO. Let’s look at 2 of the top cannabis stocks for your portfolio right now if you’re trying to invest in the cannabis industry for the long run.
