Canopy Growth, a global cannabis company, has announced that its U.S.-based holding company, Canopy USA, has successfully acquired Wana Brands, a prominent player in the cannabis edibles market in North America. This acquisition is part of Canopy’s strategy to establish a strong presence in the U.S. market, following recent acquisitions such as Jetty Extracts and Acreage Holdings.
Canopy Growth, known for brands like Doja, 7ACRES, Tweed, Deep Space, and Storz & Bickel, has been making strategic moves to expand its operations in the United States. The company’s stock has experienced a decline of 45.30% year-over-year and 97.87% since 2019.
With the recent acquisition of Wana Brands, Canopy expects to see significant financial benefits, including revenue growth and cost synergies across its U.S. operations. The company has been undergoing a restructuring plan to address losses incurred due to expansion, competition, and market volatility.
Leadership at Canopy Growth, including CEO David Klein and Wana Brands President Joe Hodas, have expressed optimism about the acquisition of Wana Brands and the growth opportunities it presents in the U.S. cannabis market. The integration of Wana’s edibles expertise with Jetty’s vape and extract products is seen as a strategic move to expand the brand’s presence in new markets.
Canopy Growth’s stock (TSX:WEED) is currently trading at C$5.47 per share, reflecting a 1.97% decrease. Investors and stakeholders can engage in discussions about the acquisition of Wana Brands on the Canopy Growth Corp. Bullboard and other forums on Stockhouse.
