SOME NEWS 7 Marijuana Stocks to Buy That Will Survive 2020
Cannabis stocks continue to struggle, but these seven at least have time to turn it around
Investors looking for marijuana stocks to buy have no shortage of options that are cheaper than they were a month ago, let alone a year ago. But caution is advised: in this sector, it’s an enormous risk to chase “cheap” stocks.
That said, this risk again popped up this week when Aurora Cannabis (NYSE:ACB) reported earnings. ACB already was down more than 90% from last year’s highs before the release, but soft guidance for the current quarter sent ACB stock plunging another 29%.
Overall, Aurora’s results highlight the continuing struggles for the sector. And those struggles are likely to lead to a shakeout in the industry. There still are too many producers with too much capacity. The black market in Canada has held up better than expected. Leverage is a concern for a number of companies, including Aurora, Hexo (NYSE:HEXO) and others.
Those factors don’t mean that there are no marijuana stocks to buy in the entire market. Rather, it means that investors should be prudent and focus on the strongest companies. After all, even the best operators will need time to work through the industry’s issues.
Investors should only own shares of those companies whose financial strength guarantees that time. That said, these are seven such companies:
- Canopy Growth (NYSE:CGC)
- Cronos (NASDAQ:CRON)
- Aphria (NASDAQ:APHA)
- GrowGeneration (NASDAQ:GRWG)
- Cresco Labs (OTCMKTS:CRLBF)
- Curaleaf Holdings (OTCMKTS:CURLF)
- Trulieve Cannabis (OTCMKTS:TCNNF)
