One more consideration is that all of these are relatively new organizations. The failure rate for startups over the many years is rather high, and so this may just be stumbling as they are getting started.
It may be that "the thrill is gone" for a while. This entire sector i a business that was illegal not that long ago and so of course there would be a rush for a while. But thrills do get old and interest wanes and other things look more exciting.
So hold on to those stocks because eventually they will turn around.
