Marijuana Stocks See Lower Market Value
Marijuana stocks have now taken a steep loss in the market as the first week in March continues. To begin the week the cannabis sector was climbing steadily for the first few days before volatility struck as substantial losses in the market. Many leading pot stocks saw losses of 5-10% on heavy volume in trading on March 4th. For example, top hydroponic supplier Grow Generation Inc. (NASDAQ: GRWG) saw losses of 7.87% on March 4th on almost 5 million shares of volume.
In reality, this was almost double its average balance showing signs of a selloff in the sector. But with this recent price drop will cannabis stocks be at a better market value for investors? Usually, when cannabis stocks have sudden drops in the value they could be primed for a rebound. At the present time pot stocks could see some more losses to close the week as the day progresses. Essentially this depends on the market sentiment which has been poor for the last week.
Actually, since mid-February top marijuana stocks have been assessing gains in the market. After reaching a new high on February 10th most of the best cannabis stocks to buy began retreating in value. Actually, top cannabis companies are reporting strong earnings currently in the U.S. market. In reality, the selloff makes very little financial sense and could be due to a recent stock offering in many of the top marijuana companies.
Possible Catalysts For Cannabis Stocks
One event that could stimulate the market in the coming weeks is the passing of the stimulus package. Another area relating specifically to the cannabis sector would be initiating federal reform of cannabis in the U.S. Realistically speaking both events could occur soon with the stimulus package on the Senate floor currently.
In essence, this drop in value in the sector could be an opportunity to establish positions at much lower market value. One area of the cannabis sector that has more investors starting positions is the smaller cap marijuana companies and stocks trading at lower prices. In 2021 this area has seen significant gains in the market. Some have actually seen triple-digit percentage gains since January.
One thing investors should understand about the cannabis sector is the extreme volatility they are known for. And a downturn like the one seen this week could be overshadowed my massive gains the next week. For the purpose of finding cannabis stocks that could possibly hold value for next week, we can begin to do more research. Let’s take a deeper look at 2 marijuana stocks to add to your watchlist for next week in March.
