Midday: Selective Strength as Macro Keeps Lid On Upside
Midday check-in on cannabis tape. Cautious tape with VIX at 16.5, 10Y at 4.57%, S&P -0.6%, DXY +0.3%. Selective strength across the 494-ticker cannabis universe — 13 advancing, 18 declining (42% up). Analyst consensus tilts bullish — 45 Buys, 5 Holds, 7 Sells. Widest implied upside: CRDL to $6.89 (+447%). Elevated short interest concentrated in IIPR at 10.3 days-to-cover.
CIN TAKE
Analyst conviction is building faster than the macro will allow it to be paid. Buy-side upside targets look right on 12-month math but wrong on 12-week timing. Selective, catalyst-anchored positioning only — no broad-beta adds until macro cracks lower.
