Midday: Selective Strength as Macro Keeps Lid On Upside
Midday check-in on cannabis tape. Cautious tape with VIX subdued at 14.8, 10Y at 5.09%, S&P -0.7%, DXY +0.5%. Selective strength across the 326-ticker cannabis universe — 11 advancing, 16 declining (41% up). Analyst consensus tilts bullish — 44 Buys, 6 Holds, 7 Sells. Widest implied upside: CRBP to $34.02 (+330%). Elevated short interest concentrated in IIPR at 11.3 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.
