By the end of the day, Canopy stocks dipped by three per cent to close at C$ 29.33 on Tuesday. But taking a long-term perspective, the company has been beefing up its cannabis retail operations, which could bolster its stock movement from a bearish trend to a bullish trend this year.

The company recorded C$ 148 million in revenue for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, which was a surge of 38 per cent (YoY). For the full fiscal year, it registered a top line of C$ 546.6 million, up 37 per cent YoY.

Tilray Inc (TSX:TLRY)
After merging with Aphria last year, the joint entity has been operating under the Tilray name, with Aphria shareholders owning a 62 per cent stake in the combined company.
Most of the company’s marijuana products sales are recorded in Canada. It also exports medical cannabis to the international market and offers cannabidiol (CBD)-based products via Manitoba Harvest and beverages through SweetWater across the US market. The company continues to trade on the New York-based NASDAQ exchange under the ticker symbol ‘NASDAQ:TLRY’.
The cannabis stock has soared by 11 per cent in the last one week, with a 10-day average trading volume of 1.54 million. However, it is down by over eight per cent against last month’s high of C$ 22.62 (May 28, 2021).
Tilray’s operations are prevalent across the North American pot market against its rivals. Once the US legalizes cannabis federally, its stock could zoom record highs.
The above constitutes a preliminary view and any interest in stocks should be evaluated further from investment point of view.
