Watching Top Cannabis Stocks In 2022 As The Sector Gains Momentum
This week the best marijuana stocks to watch in 2022 began showing an uptrend in the market. After establishing new lows to start the year most top cannabis stocks ended the day in the green. At the present time, the market saw a significant move in top Canadian marijuana stocks like Canopy Growth Corporation (NASDAQ: CGC) and Tilray Brands, Inc. (NASDAQ: TLRY). This is mostly because this is the only way for many investors to gain exposure to the cannabis industry.
In general, most Canadian LPs trade on the NASDAQ and NYSE while US marijuana stocks currently trade on the OTC Markets. This has kept US cannabis stocks from gaining exposure to the broader markets. In March many US cannabis companies have delivered strong 2021 revenue growth and expanded rapidly across the American market. Unfortunately, they are not able to trade on the big boards because of the current US federal cannabis policy.
This has kept them unexposed to large institutional investors and large pools of new retail investors that use platforms like Robinhood Markets, Inc. (NASDAQ: HOOD) and WeBull. Many of these investors are unable to trade stocks that are OTC Markets, so these pot stocks have not seen the gains the LPs experienced. But this could be an opportunity for cannabis investors to continue to establish positions in US marijuana stocks at these lower price points.
Best Pot Stocks To Watch In Q2 2022
