Marijuana Stock Performance for the Week
Marijuana stocks saw strong follow through this week after ending last week up big. The index increased 16% this week while large cap, mid-cap, and small-cap stocks were up 30%, 23%, and 13% respectively. Owning only the largest producers continues to be a winning strategy. Retail investors are jumping back into the market in anticipation of legalization on October 17 and the current bull market run could continue going into the fall.
There is now an M&A premium built into most of the large cap stocks as investors expect large corporations to enter the market through licensed producer buyouts.
Market Outlook
Stocks are now back above the yearly low they reached on April 9. The Canopy Constellation deal has given the market some new momentum which could potentially carry stocks higher into the October 17 legalization date.
Once the market opens we expect retail and wholesale price compression from a legal oversupply. Falling cannabis prices will pressure producer stocks in 2019.
