Cannabis Stocks And Recent Declines
As top marijuana stocks drop in value because of inflation and gas shortage concerns, which are the best cannabis stocks to buy right now? In May many leading cannabis companies are reporting record earnings bringing to light the continued strength the cannabis market is experiencing. After producing significant revenue growth in 2020 many leading marijuana companies are showing strong first quarter 2021 performances.
In fact, companies like Trulieve Cannabis Corp. (OTC: TCNNF) are reporting a record first-quarter 2021 revenue of $193.8 million and adjusted EBITDA of $90.8 million. Although Trulieve is performing exceptionally well you couldn’t tell by looking at its performance in the market. Unfortunately, this is a trend that can be seen in many other leading pot stocks as well. But it could be a buying opportunity for investors looking to start a position. At current market values top marijuana stocks to invest in could have substantial upward potential.
Currently, many analysts believe the cannabis sector will see some upside this year. Looking back to February highs top pot stocks have given investors an idea of where it could go with better market sentiment. One important development that could be a catalyst for marijuana stocks in the near future is cannabis reform on the federal level. With a change in banking laws for cannabis companies in the Senate, the SAFE Banking Act could usher in new US federal policy toward cannabis.
Waiting For US Federal Cannabis Reform
Another federal cannabis reform bill is also gaining support from the Republican party. Known as the Commonsense Cannabis Reform for Veterans, Small Businesses, and Medical Professionals Act this bill would also push cannabis reform forward in many aspects. In general, this could help cannabis companies achieve the ability to bank regularly like any other business. In addition, publicly-traded US MSOs will be able to trade on the major US exchanges. At the present time, US MSOs seem to be performing better than their Canadian counterparts.
Because of this more investors are looking to find the best US cannabis stock to invest in for 2021. More investors right now prefer to buy pot stocks for short-term positions. This is because leading cannabis stocks are known for having extreme market volatility and have been unpredictable in the long term. But there are opportunities for investors to use either method of trading or a combination of a few different investment strategies. With this in mind let’s take a look at 2 of the best US marijuana stocks to watch before next week.
