For the trading week ended March 5, my proprietary Canadian Cannabis Company Index (MCCCI) decreased by 8.5% compared to the prior week when it increased by 12.2%. The index consists of 25 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. Now let us look at this week’s good, bad, and ugly stocks.

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 7 stocks that decreased by more than 10% (but less than 20%) which is my metric for inclusion in this category: VVCIF -17.6%, FLWPF -13.9%, SPRWF -12.0%, APHA -11.9%, OGI -11.6%, RDDTF -11.0% and NEPT -10.8%.

The Ugly

There were 2 stocks that decreased by 20% or more, which is my metric for inclusion in this category: MEDIF -26.6% and WDDMF -21.7%. Valuation Metric Review There was a decrease of 8.5% in the “Big Four” compared to last week when there was a decrease of 13.0%. Canopy Growth Corporation, which is by far the largest capitalization in the MCCCI, has decreased 5 weeks in a row to the delight of the swing traders among my private clients. The other 3 “Big Four” stocks also decreased, and I believe may face continued price pressure for the foreseeable future.

Recap

There was a decrease of 2.8% in the relative strength index compared to last week when there was a decrease of 11.2%. There now has been a 3-week decline in the ratio of the top quintile stocks to the bottom quintile stock which solidifies my 2021 thesis of a frothier environment for the highest capitalization MCCCI stocks. Let us see how this volatile sector has performed at the same time next week shall we?
