Investing In Cannabis Stocks In July: Things To Know About The Sector
For new investors looking for the best marijuana stocks to buy, this could be a good opportunity to start a list of top performers. As it stands, some of the top cannabis stocks are trading near some of their lowest market value in 2021. This is partly due to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer revealing a draft of the Cannabis Administration and Opportunity Act. At this point, the bill does not have enough votes to get passed in the Senate. By Schumer unveiling a preliminary draft of the federal cannabis bill he has the opportunity to show it to all the stakeholders and garner support.
But shortly after the announcement from Schumer White House press secretary reaffirmed President Biden’s stance on cannabis decriminalization and at this point, there were no endorsements of legislation to report. Although this might hamper the process and push the possibility of American cannabis reform further down the road this is not stopping the cannabis market’s growth on the state level.
In 2021 top marijuana companies continue reporting strong revenue growth for the first quarter. With another round of earnings scheduled for top cannabis companies, a strong report could produce some momentum for the cannabis sector. In the US cannabis companies have been using mergers and acquisitions as a means of rapidly expanding across key markets.
US Cannabis Companies And Top Pot Stock Investments
Some of these companies are now considered the largest revenue-producing cannabis companies in the world. Since 2020 US cannabis companies have experienced tremendous growth and have in many ways performed much better than Canadian cannabis companies. But US cannabis companies have an issue in the market that could be solved with cannabis reform.
For one US vertically integrated marijuana stocks are unable to trade on major US exchanges at this time. This has affected their availability to one of the fastest-growing pools of retail investors using the Robinhood or Webull platforms. Neither of these platforms allows the trading of over-the-counter or OTC stocks to their investors. Which is the place where the top vertically integrated US marijuana stocks reside.
