Curaleaf, Ayr Wellness, Gage Cannabis And Three Others Added To Green Market Report Cannabis Company Index After 'Rough Second Quarter' For Weed Stocks

The Green Market Report Cannabis Company Index has selected the six companies it plans to add for the third quarter while removing six others after the second quarter, which turned out to be "rough for cannabis stocks."

The Index saw an 8% drop in the second quarter, mainly having to do with the companies' decline in valuations. After the first quarter, when the Index companies were delivering mostly positive returns, negative results dominated in the second quarter.

Year-to-date, the Index is still up 27%.

The New Additions

The Index will be adding the following companies for the third quarter:

The Drop-Offs

The companies that fell from GMR's Cannabis Index are:

Aphria Inc (NASDAQ:APHA), which Tilray Inc. (NASDAQ:TLRY) acquired in May.

Zynerba Pharmaceuticals Inc (NASDAQ:ZYNE), which is still waiting for its products to hit the market.

Aleafia Health (OTCQF: ALEAF), which has been reporting drops in revenue, including a 51% year-over-year decline to $7.07 million in the first three months of 2021.

As the impact of COVID lockdowns and restrictions slowly begin to lift and with retailers recovering from challenges that the current health crisis imposed, valuations will continue to recover, according to the Green Market Report.
