Top Cannabis Stocks For Your December Watchlist
Are you looking for top marijuana stocks to buy before 2022? As the market continues its end of the year rally many top cannabis stocks have begun to see some upward momentum. After the cannabis sector rallied in the first quarter, they have experienced declines for most of 2021. This is mostly due to the delays with the US making changes to federal cannabis reform policy.
Now that investors have given up all hope of seeing the end of prohibition in 2021, we could begin to see the cannabis sector begin to move on fundamentals instead of legalization. One area of the cannabis sector that has experienced a significant pullback is ancillary marijuana stocks. Ancillary cannabis companies are those companies that support the cannabis industry without touching the actual plant.
In 2021 many ancillaries delivered strong revenue growth and expanded across the cannabis market. Although this did not translate into gains in the market it does show how rapidly this area of the cannabis sector is growing. In specific one of the best-positioned areas of ancillary stocks are those that provide hydroponic and lighting equipment to the industry. As the demand for cannabis continues to grow in the market these companies will support that growth.
