RE:Stock Halted = Really Good or Really Bad?It can't be bad . If it was bad they wouldn't have waited until the close to halt it. Something materially bad has to be disclosed in a timely manner. Someone could sue that bought share at 3:50pm today and took a loss if the stock opened lower Tuesday. Likely can't be an offer to buy them either as once again you leave your self open to litigation to anyone who sold late in the day if you purposely sat on material news. Could be the BC license as it appears it was announced late in the day, at least publicly (Not sure when Canopy was told). But on a Friday before a long weekend seems extreme for that though the opening of the largest facility of its kind in the world is a big deal. So I rate that as my second guess :) But my best guess is given that M&A is particularly popular on long weekends my bet is they are acquiring someone or thing and likely sent that company an offer at the close. Fun to speculate, hopefully we find out sooner than later.
