The cannabis industry currently is among the fast-paced industries whereby turning your back for a second you miss out on some next big merger or announcement. For that reason, there’s an immense excitement, especially from investors.

As like any industry, however, there’ll be successful cannabis stock investments as well as a fair share of those who’ll fail to cash the opportunities. One cannabis stock that’s looking to be on the winning side is the Canadian grower Tilray (NASDAQ: TLRY).

The Seattle-based cannabis company operates in the Canadian marijuana market. It makes a plethora of drug treatments for medical use. The products are mainly based on tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabinoid (CBD) compounds, both extracted from marijuana.

Tilray Price Overview

Tilray has been a bottle-rocket since its debut in July and has been in the spotlight in the past because of becoming the first-ever stock in Canada to go with the initial public offering way. However, the stock hasn’t received positive news recently but rather negative ones as a result of going down in such a short period.

The past five months have seen the stocks’ market cap slip by almost 25% while its valuation cut nearly in half from its initial high. The price alone this year has followed a downward trend to a current $43.88.

The most important thing at this moment is the fact that the stock has already started to show signs of recovery despite the struggle it has experienced this year.

What Keeps Tilray on the Move?

Few popular stocks have struggled this year, and Tilray hasn’t escaped that arm of shock, but if you think Tilray is down for the count, think again.

The fact that any stock could lose almost 85% of the value in less than a year may be crazy, but the stock could be breathing its last breathe of negative sentiments and start the journey up. It’s just last year that the stock reached $300, meaning that it has all it takes to be anyone’s number one choice.

For instance, the Q1 results showed some good news as the revenues topped the consensus views. Besides the sales volumes grew as did the metrics by almost 50% from last quarter.

Also, it has made several business developments to ensure a rapid revival. First up, the company expanded its strategic alliance with Novartis Division Sandoz which allows it to increase its global access to medical cannabis.

Tilray is also poised to benefit from the partnership it made with AB InBev, a non-alcohol THC as well as CBD beverages firm. From the agreement, each company is to invest about $50 million and hence a total of almost $100.

Moreover, to boost the company’s production capacity, it recently acquired Natura Naturals that has a massive cultivation center in Canada. Besides, with the increasing interest in CBD and hemp, the company also bought Manitoba Harvest, a hemp-food company to ensure it stays on top of the game.

Tilray has also added more than 15,000 kilograms to its High Park Gardens facility in Canada to bolster production capacity. Further, it’s building production capacity in Portugal to support the move more into the European market.

The main focus for Tilray at the moment is building branded consumer products with which Manitoba Harvest acquisition will significantly help.

A Good Buy?

Tilray could be down, but it’s not out yet. The stock deserves much credit with the number of deals it’s making, which would help the company become a winner and get back to shape sooner than many might be expecting.

The pot firm’s reliable management team also gives it an upper hand for a promising future as it’s full of experience. Going as per the last quarter results, it’s inevitable that Tilray will make a turnaround, and it more likely wouldn’t be too much late for most investors.

Is Cronos Stock (TSE:CRON)(NASDAQ:CRON) A Buy?

Cronos Stock (TSE:CRON)(NASDAQ:CRON) stock fell 9.22% on January 24, marking its steepest decline so far in 2020. The stock plunge followed an important disclosure that you would only expect from a company that is trying to be straight and transparent with investors. Here’s what happened.

On January 22, after market close, Cronos made a regulatory filing detailing changes in its executive team. In that SEC filing, Cronos revealed that David Hsu and William Hilson have stepped down as its chief operating officer and chief commercial officer, respectively. Unfortunately, some investors read bad news in the executive exits and sold their shares in Cronos.

But a careful reading of the filing doesn’t seem to raise any red flags. Therefore, the big stock plunged points to investors panicking to the degree of responding to a mosquito bite with a missile.

There is no doubt that 2019 was a difficult year for cannabis stocks and Cronos Stock is no exception. But before the uncalled for reaction to Cronos’s regulatory filing, we had been at a point where sellers were starting to give way to buyers in Cronos stock. The stock has gained about 8.0% in the past one month. It had gained more than 13% year-to-date before the January 24 big selloff.
