Although the Canadian cannabis sector offers tremendous upside, investors need to be cautious and focus on companies that have a differentiated strategy.
Back in the gold rush, the miners did not make all the money. It was the ancillary business who profited then and although times have changed, the opportunity has not. We believe that investors need to take a different approach and diversify around the Canadian licensed producers.
We have highlighted three Canadian cannabis stocks that trade in both the United States and Canada which we think have long-term upside due to their respective strategy.
InMed Starting to Catch Fire
InMed Pharmaceuticals Inc. (IMLFF) closed Friday down 5.3% but the shares ended the week up more than 12% off its lows and we think this is a stock investors need to watch. IMLFF broke below its 20 and 50-day moving average on this move lower and we think the shares are set to move higher as trading volume was well below its weekly average on Friday.
Earlier this month, InMed filed a provisional patent application in the United States for a cannabinoid-based topical therapy for glaucoma. The company has taken steps to execute on its strategy and has several event-driven catalysts set to occur in the back half of the year.
Cannabis Wheaton is Changing the Game
One company that looks to have found a bottom and is trending higher is Cannabis Wheaton (CBW.V) (KWFLF). The shares continued to rally on Friday and ended the day up 15% and 16%, respectively. The Canadian symbol is trading at $1.58 while the United States symbol, KWFLF trades at $1.16. Cannabis Wheaton has taken the licensed producer game to a different level and we believe there is significant value in several of its deals.
Earlier this month, Cannabis Wheaton released its roster of streaming deals and its partners include 14 companies based in six provinces across Canada. Of these companies, 2 have sales licenses (Broken Coast and Green Relief), 2 have cultivation licenses, 4 have affirmation letters and 6 are advanced pre-affirmation stage applicants.
Canadian Biotech Breaks Out of Oversold Territory and Set to Rally
Vinergy (VNNYF) traded almost 900,000 shares on Friday and VNNYF rallied well off its lows of the day. We think this massive increase in trading volume is significant and the shares no longer in oversold territory.
We see significant upside to current levels as VIN (the Canadian symbol) remains halted due to closing of the MJ Biopharma deal. Vinergy recently announced that it was increasing the size of its non-brokered private placement due to the high demand and this is a stock investors need to have on their radar
