Aphria keeps focus on U.S. after strong Q2 results

After Aphria's second-quarter results beat expectations, causing the company's stock to soar, the Canadian pot giant is still keeping its focus sharply tuned to the U.S. market. While Aphria isn't able to directly compete in the U.S. pot market due to stock exchange restrictions, it does have brand access through its Sweetwater Brewing subsidiary and soon, hemp food maker Manitoba Harvest. But Aphria CEO Irwin Simon is steadfast that the company has to have a firm U.S. plan once the country legalizes cannabis. When that happens, "we will have either the ability to buy [or] merge with somebody. We all have the ability to greenfield if we have to do that, because we've got to be in the U.S.," Simon said.
