US Pot Stocks For Q1 2022
Are you looking for the best marijuana stocks to buy in 2022? In the US the delays with federal cannabis legalization and reform brought down most of the sector last year. But because this year many top cannabis stocks are starting the year near their 52-week lows they could be ready to see upside in the first quarter. In general, many leading cannabis companies reported strong earnings and revenue growth in 2021.
Additionally, after the pandemic, these cannabis companies expanded rapidly using M&As to build a faster footprint. Now as the top tier MSOs continue to be the best performing cannabis companies, they could be some of the best pot stocks of 2022. In the first quarter of 2022 one major catalyst that could create some upside for top marijuana stocks is the passing of any form of federal cannabis legalization.
During 2021 every attempt by the House to pass cannabis reform was knocked down in the Senate. But with 2022 elections around the corner, we may see the end of prohibition or pass cannabis banking reform this year. Because of recent declines in December 2021, many top cannabis stocks could begin trading on earnings and strong revenue growth. This is another factor investors did not see last year because pot stocks seemed to only see upside with the mention of cannabis legalization.
