Summary

  • The biotechnology sector and pharmaceutical sector produce medicines, with biotech firms potentially facing harsher scrutiny of the two.
  • Cannara Biotech, a producer of premium-grade cannabis-based goods, reported net revenue of US$ 13 million for Q2 2023.

The biotechnology sector is similar to the pharmaceutical sector as both of them produce medicines. Biotechnology stocks can have a risk element as some of their products may never reach the market. These firms may also face harsher regulations as compared to other healthcare sector companies.
