Cannabis is one industry that has unquestionably gone from a bubble area to a completely deflated one. Following the government legalisation of cannabis in Canada, the valuations of many companies soared. That said, many people have moved through the subsequent bubble, which persisted for most of 2018 and some of 2019.Highlights
Nevertheless, this sector has also seen recent major development, rising at a respectable clip, with prices that are (finally) starting to catch up with reality.
Let's see two Canadian cannabis stocks to assess their performance:
Tilray Brands Inc. (TSX: TLRY) The company is involved in producing recreational and medical cannabis products. As of writing, the stock was slightly over six per cent and traded at C$ 3.73 per share.
