Friday Recap: Week Ending November 24th, 2017

This was another busy week for those involved in the cannabis related sectors, as such this is a slightly longer recap. Several of the smaller companies in the industry finally had their turn at the big runs, while the larger licensed producers managed to hold strong on their share price. This in turn beat many expectations that experienced investors had for the market.

For those following legislation closely, there was a development this week as well. With the announcement of the proposed regulations surrounding cannabis, several market moves occurred. First and foremost in these regulations, is the lax attitude the government will take towards the production of hemp. Long branched together with that of marijuana, it appears hemp will finally catch a break. This in turn lead to several companies experiencing runs – such as Hempco, Naturally Splendid, and Global Hemp Group.

In additional to the standpoint on hemp, several other key items were addressed. For instance, upon the proposed regulations being enacted, security requirements for licensed producers will be changed significantly. This will have a major impact on expenses related to establishing a facility. There was also the news that craft or “micro” growers will be introduced to the industry. As the regulations currently stand, these growers will be limited on the THC content in their cannabis, and they will be able to sell only to licensed producers.

If you wish to view the full proposed regulations, they can be found via the Government of Canada website here.

Looking towards that of next week, expect numerous financials to come out for companies. Those companies that last issued financials at the end of August are due to report again for the quarter ended September 30. This includes a number of stocks in which we have discussed over the last few weeks. We’ll be watching closely for this news, and will be commenting on anything notable.
