New York issued 36 adult-use retail licenses and will delay the current 10 medical operators from opening adult-use stores. Canadian sales of cannabis were higher than expected in September but flat with August at C$389.9 million, up 12.2% from a year ago.

Market Performance

The Global Cannabis Stock Index remained far above its all-time closing low of 11.26 from 9/30. It rose to 13.37 this Friday, ending unchanged during the week. This was a little worse than the 1.5% gain in the S&P 500, which is up 4.0% so far in November. The cannabis index has rallied 1.4% this month-to-date, behind the S&P 500, and it has rallied 18.7% thus far in Q4. This is more than the 12.3% return in the S&P 500.
