Shares of Canopy, up 15% this year, fell around 4.6% to C$36 after it announced the cash-and-stock deal for Supreme, which owns pot brands including 7ACRES and Blissco. Supreme shares surged 50% to C$0.40.
The opening of more retail stores and a rise in weed use during the pandemic has brought back investor dollars for cannabis producers after years of underperformance. Hopes of U.S. reforms allowing cross-border commerce are also boosting investments in the sector.
