With signs of industry consolidation, the Canadian marijuana stocks on our list might get gobbled up in good time
SmallCapPower | December 5, 2016: As Canopy Growth Corporation (TSE:CGC) announced recently that it has agreed to acquire Mettrum Health Corp. (CVE:MT), the Number 5 producer by market cap, it leaves a lot for other producers to consider. If the transaction is completed, Canopy will effectively control half of the registered patients under Health Canadians ACMPR. With Aurora Cannabis Inc. (CVE:ACB), and Aphria (CVE:APH) being the Number 2 and Number 3 producers, respectively, they must be thinking about what they are going to do to expand their market share. Although unlikely, it is possible that they merge together to rival the size of the new Canopy Growth Corp., but they could also be eyeing the smaller players in the space. The Canadian marijuana stocks on our list today could be the next ones up for consolidation as the major players look to establish a strong dominance ahead of legalization.
