The Canadian Cannabis Report - Monday, July 26

For the trading week ended July 23, my proprietary Canadian Cannabis Company Index (MCCCI) decreased by a de minimis 1.1% compared to the prior week when it decreased by 11.6%. The index consists of 23 stocks, many of which are among the most widely held holdings of the 3 ETFs (MJ, CNBS, and THCX) that I consider to be a reliable barometer of the Canadian cannabis sector. MCCCIs differentiated business model is both weighted and market capitalization-based because I believe that this approach best represents the current landscape of the Canadian cannabis sector.

The Good

There were no stocks that increased by more than 10%, which is my metric for inclusion in this category.

The Bad

There were no stocks that decreased by more than 10% (but less than 20%) which is my metric for inclusion in this category. Hexo Corp. (HEXO) continued to be under pressure and decreased 5.02%. My view is consistent with SeekingAlpha’s very bearish quant rating.

The Ugly

There were no stocks that decreased by 20% or more, which is my metric for inclusion in this category.

Recap

There was no change in the “Big Four” compared to the prior week when there was a decrease of 12.9%. Tilray, Inc. (TLRY) was the worst performer among this subset, and I have advised my private clients to closely monitor this volatile stock. There was an increase of 8.6% in the relative strength index compared to the prior week when there was a decrease of 3.7%. Let us see how this volatile sector has performed at the same time next week, shall we?
