What’s Happening With Canopy Growth: Is It Time To Buy?

Canopy Growth Corporation‘s CGC stock has fallen significantly from its recent highs in May 2024.

After reaching a peak of $16.41, the stock now trades around $3.93, raising questions about its potential for recovery and long-term investment viability. In this article, we take a closer look at Canopy’s medium-term performance and provide insights for investors who might be curious about this key industry player.

Fibonacci Analysis: Key Resistance And Support Levels

A Fibonacci retracement analysis shows that the stock has retraced to the 78.6% level (circa $3.86), a critical support point. Holding above this level could trigger a potential bounce, while failure to do so risks further declines toward the pre-rally starting point of $2.57.

On the upside, the 61.8% retracement level (circa $6.36) represents a significant resistance zone. The stock tested this level twice: once during the last week of October and again during the first week of November. Breaking through this resistance would signal renewed investor confidence and could open the door to testing the 50% level ($8.50) – a psychologically important milestone.

The company reported $1.23 billion in total assets for the most recent quarter, with $509.668 million in shareholder equity and a market capitalization of $396.154 million.

Is Canopy A Good Investment?

At current levels, Canopy Growth presents a high-risk, high-reward profile, similar to other cannabis companies. The 78.6% retracement support makes it appealing for speculative investors betting on a recovery. However, if the stock falls below $3.86, further declines could follow, raising concerns about profitability and long-term sustainability.

In the short term, there may be trading opportunities, but careful monitoring of other technical indicators is necessary.

For long-term investors, Canopy’s future depends on its ability to grow revenue, reduce debt, and capitalize on the U.S. market: something that the company seems to be set to do. But, from a technical standpoint, until the stock breaks above circa $6.36, signaling a broader reversal, caution is recommended.
