Top Marijuana Stocks For 2022
With the market experiencing a significant downside to start the week top marijuana stocks continue to trade at lower levels. For cannabis investors, this downtrend has persisted almost a year and is mostly associated with the delays in US federal marijuana legalization and decriminalization. But lower cannabis stock prices could be an opportunity for traders looking to invest in the cannabis industry.
One area that is experiencing substantial growth in the next five years is the US cannabis market. According to a recent report from New Frontier Data retail marijuana sales in the United States are forecast to reach $43 billion in 2025. In 2021 legal sales of cannabis are around $25 billion showing substantial growth potential in the US market. As the US expands rapidly there are many leading cannabis companies that have grown alongside the market.
In 2021 these companies delivered strong revenue growth that never translated into gains in the market. In addition, they grew significantly using mergers and acquisitions to establish a larger presence. As new states establish legal medical and recreational cannabis markets the next few years could have significant future growth potential. Another factor that could spark some upside for cannabis stocks in 2022 is any mention of Congress passing some form of cannabis reform laws.
