Why It's Important

Recently, Canopy Growth announced it's entering the U.S. hemp market. The company received a license to cultivate hemp in the state of New York and said it will invest between $100 and $150 million in a hemp industrial park in the state. In an interview with Yahoo Finance earlier this month, Canopy CEO Bruce Linton said the company will increase the investment amount to $500 million and will establish operations in more states.

Developing a line of hemp-derived CBD products in collaboration with Martha Stewart will give Canopy Growth an edge, given Stewart's acclaimed recognition as a businesswoman, media person, book author, and lifestyle expert.

Canopy Growth traded higher by 4.4 percent to $47.69 per share Thursday morning, while Sequential Brands traded up 22.5 percent to $1.47 per share.
