The Canadian cannabis stocks we’ve weeded out have recovered the most since recent December lows and could be poised to go even higher following the legalization of Cannabis 2.0
SmallCapPower | January 23, 2020: The Horizons Marijuana Life Sciences Index ETF (HMMJ) has rallied ~18% since its most recent low on December 14, 2019. After a rocky year for cannabis stocks, some names could have the potential to rebound in 2020. With edibles now available across Canada, investors will be looking to see if Cannabis 2.0 can add much-needed topline growth to the Canadian cultivators. In the U.S., recreational legalization is expected to be a ballet issue in New York and Florida this year, which could reignite interest in the U.S. multi-state operators. That being said, the cannabis industry is not going away and as cannabis regulations are expected to loosen in the United States, and globally, some cannabis companies could be set to rally in 2020. Today we have identified four Canadian cannabis stocks that have rallied the most over the past month.
