For the trading week that ended October 27, 2023, my proprietary Canadian Cannabis Company Index (MCCCI) increased by 1.7% compared to the prior week when it decreased by 11.0%. The index consists of 15 stocks, many of which are among the most widely held holdings of the 3 ETFs (MJ, CNBS, and THCX) that I consider to be a reliable barometer of the Canadian cannabis sector. MCCCI’s differentiated business model is both weighted and market capitalization-based because I believe that this approach best represents the current landscape of the Canadian cannabis sector. Now let us look at this week’s good, bad, and ugly stocks, shall we?

The Good
There were no stocks that increased by more than 10%, which is my metric for inclusion in this category. The Bad There were no stocks that decreased by more than 10% (but less than 20%) which is my metric for inclusion in this category.
The Ugly There was 1 stock that decreased by 20% or more, which is my metric for inclusion in this category: DLTNF -31.4%. Delta 9 Cannabis Inc. continues to ping-pong price-wise which is inherent in a thinly-traded $5.2M company.
Valuation Metric Review
There was a no change in the “Big Four” (2 of which increased) compared to the prior week when there was a 12.7% decrease.
Recap
There was an 11.1% decrease in the relative strength index compared to the prior week when there was a 5.3% decrease. 4 of the 15 MCCCI stocks increased, which is much improved compared to the average return over the last 6 weeks. Is this increase a 1-off? To be determined but I am skeptical long-term. Let us see how this volatile sector has performed at the same time next week, shall we?More By This Author:The Cannabis Report- Monday, Oct. 23
