Canada Legalization: The Next Big Catalyst

Canadian licensed medical cannabis producers built off the momentum from Wednesday and benefited from this as it carried into Thursday’s trading session.

These movements are significant because several of these stocks were under pressure on Tuesday and early Wednesday (post-Canopy Growth earnings).

Investors should keep an eye on how this sub-sector continues to trade as we believe it is comprised of some of the highest quality opportunities for investors.

We recapped some of these recent price movements and provided our updated thesis below:

Canopy Growth Corp (WEED.TO: TSX) (TWMJF: OTC) recaptured most of its losses from Tuesday after the shares rallied 3.7% on above-average trading volume. We continue to view Canopy Growth as one of the top long-term cannabis investments due to its leading position in the Canadian medical cannabis market. Canopy Growth recently broke below the $10 level and investor should keep an eye on shares as we continue to see long-term upside to current levels.

OrganiGram Holdings (OGI.V: TSX Venture) (OGRMF: OTC) saw a nice rally yesterday and we will monitor how this continues today. OGI and OGRMF rallied more than 5% and this was a nice change from the recent trend. We will provide updates on any significant price movements today. Stay tuned as we continue to hold cautiously.

Emblem Corp. (EMC.V: TSX Venture) (EMMBF: OTC) continued to rally yesterday and the shares were one of the top performers as they also rallied more than 5%. EMC is trading at $4.17 while EMMBF trades near $3.20. We continue to hold as we are favorable on the long-term outlook. Emblem has a lock up coming up in March and we have started to receive questions about this. Although we expect this to cause a short-term dip, we do not expect it to last long and will keep an eye on any significant price movements leading up to this.

Aurora Cannabis (ACB.V: TSX Venture) (ACBFF: OTC) ended the day up less than 2% and we continue to hold onto the shares. We have contemplated exiting this position and re-entering on weakness, however, we have not decided yet. The reason why we are questioning this holding is due to valuation. When you look at Aurora’s fully-diluted market cap, it is over $1 billion which is significant. We view the risk-reward scenario as balanced here and will keep you updated on how the shares move from here.

Aphria (APH.V: TSX Venture) (APHQF: OTC) edged lower yesterday and this move followed an 18% rally over the last week. APHQF traded as high as $5.15 before ending the day at $4.97 and We continue to see upside to current levels but we may trim the size of our position because of the strength of the recent rally.

CanniMed Therapeutics (CMED.TO: TSX) is trading at $11.95 after the shares edged slightly higher yesterday and we are on the sidelines at current levels. Although we are favorable on the company’s recent execution, the exchange it trades on, and its business model; we are cautious at these levels. We will keep you updated on how the shares trade from here

Cronos Group (MJN.V) recaptured all its losses from Wednesday as the shares rallied approx. 8% yesterday. MJN.V is trading at $2.59 and we are on the sidelines at current levels. We were favorable on MJN after Wednesday’s dip and will monitor how the shares respond today. The company announced a bought deal this week at $2.25 a share and this has caused the shares to trade a little more volatile over the last two trading sessions.
