Opening Brief

Cannabis Opens Mixed Signals Across Sector
Neutral macro with VIX at 15.6, 10Y at 4.67%, S&P +1.4%. Broad breadth across the 326-ticker cannabis universe — 24 advancing, 9 declining (73% up). Analyst consensus tilts bullish — 44 Buys, 6 Holds, 7 Sells. Widest implied upside: CRDL to $6.92 (+428%). Elevated short interest concentrated in IIPR at 10.3 days-to-cover.
CIN TAKE
Neutral macro paired with expanding breadth is the setup that usually precedes a durable move higher. Momentum names deserve attention — not just the leaders, but the second-tier tickers now turning. Trim conviction if breadth deteriorates before the macro regime shifts.
