As investors, you could keep in mind the chief executive officer (CEO) David Klein's statement. He said that Canopy Growth continued to reduce operating expenses and capital investments in Q3 2022.

Mr Klein said that the company is focused on achieving profitability in Canada. It aims to take more steps to optimize the expenses and make strategic investments in growth areas.

Canopy Growth's gross margins declined significantly to seven per cent in Q3 2022 from 16 per cent in Q3 2021. This could be due to higher supply chain costs and price compression in the cannabis market.
