Top Canadian Cannabis Stocks To Watch This Month
After gaining momentum to start 2023, the cannabis industry and top marijuana stocks as a whole fell to new lows in March. The cannabis industry has financial difficulties as a result of supply chain problems, industry consolidation, strict regulations, and inflationary pressures. The lack of qualified workers and insurer interest in offering market coverage will test the industry’s resiliency. Increasing prices and problems with the supply chain in 2022 substantially jeopardized the profitability of cannabis companies in 2023.
One area of the cannabis sector known for extreme volatility is Canadian cannabis stocks. Following Uruguay, Canada became the world’s second country to allow recreational cannabis usage in 2018. As a result, there are now more options for companies and business owners to enter the market and profit from the rising demand for cannabis goods. During the peak of cannabis stocks in 2021, Canadian marijuana stocks produced significant upside and momentum.
Making brief investments in cannabis penny stocks is one strategy to profit from the market’s downward trend. Any share of stock that is sold for less than $5 is referred to as a penny stock. Due to the penny stocks that deal in cannabis’ well-known high level of daily and monthly price volatility, opportunities may arise. Cannabis investors willing to participate in these high-risk/high-reward transactions have benefited from the recent double-digit percentage returns on several equities.
Let’s look at the 2 top marijuana penny stocks to add to your watchlist for April, many of which are among the largest cannabis businesses in Canada and are presently trading at penny stock pricing.
