Notable Mentions 

  • HEXO (HEXO) -6.2%
  • With the 19% increase in the average cannabis stock in May (see details here) 1 additional company is now trading marginally above US$1/share and, therefore, is technically eligible to be included in the NPSI, namely, Jushi Holdings Inc. (JUSHF) and if it is still trading above US$1/share at the end of the month it will be added to the NPSI. 

Further details regarding the current constituents of the NPSI are as follows:

  • The official definition of a "penny" stock is one that trades below US$5/share but, when it comes to pot stocks, that is where 87% of the total universe trades, so the more literal definition of stocks that trade for less than US$1/share is used.
