Cronos Group Jumps On Rumor Of Acquisition Talks With Curaleaf

Cronos Group (TSX: CRON) jumped as much as 20% in mid-day trading today following the release of a rumor by Reuters that the Altria Group (NYSE: MO) backed cannabis producer might be exploring a sale.

The exploration of a sale is said to follow the attraction of acquisition interest from peers in the industry, including Curaleaf Holdings (CSE: CURA). The company is said to be working with a financial advisor to examine the interest received from the multistate operator.

Both cannabis operators reportedly refused to comment on the rumor, while the source of the rumor requested anonymity due to the confidential nature of the discussions.

Cronos Group last traded at $2.70 on the TSX.
