Cannabis Stock Canopy Growth (CGC) Declined 16% W/e June 20th - Here's Why
Introduction
Canopy Growth Corporation (CGC), a constituent in the MunAiMarkets Canadian Cannabis LP Stocks Portfolio, extended its slide into the week ending June 20th (down 6% MTD), dropping another 16% and here’s why the pressure intensified:
- Lingering fallout from June 18 earnings: Despite posting record fiscal 2025 revenue, Canopy’s Q1 2026 guidance warned of a dip in international sales, especially in Poland and the UK. That cautious tone triggered a sharp selloff on June 18, and the weakness bled into the rest of the week.
- Earnings miss and valuation reset: The company reported a 24-cent loss per share, missing expectations of an 11-cent profit. That miss, paired with a stock that had rallied hard into earnings, led to a valuation reset as investors reassessed near-term profitability.
- Analyst skepticism: Several analysts reiterated "Hold" or "Sell" ratings post-earnings, citing execution risk and limited near-term catalysts. That added to the bearish tone and kept buyers on the sidelines.
Despite the drop, Canopy’s CEO emphasized the company remains debt-free, cash-flow positive, and focused on high-margin medical markets.
