Cannabis Stocks To Watch Now - May 5th

Tilray Brands, Akanda, and Canopy Growth are the three Cannabis stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat's stock screener tool. Cannabis stocks are shares of publicly traded companies that participate in the cannabis industry, including cultivators, processors, distributors, retailers, and an...

<ul class="summary-bullets"><li>Fugazi raised dilution concerns, highlighting 10 capital raises over the past four years.</li><li>The current tight supply setup leaves the stock vulnerable to a sharp downside move at any time, the report added.</li><li>AKAN shares have soared more than 1,600%, fueled by optimism around marijuana reclassification news last month.</li></ul>Shares of Akanda Corp. (AKAN) plunged more than 32% on Monday, snapping a four-session super rally, after a short report highlighted the stock’s “zero fundamental value,” dragging investor sentiment.<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/AKAN">AKAN shares</a> have risen sharply since last month’s marijuana reclassification news, surging a mammoth 1,656% since April 22, including a blistering 371% run over the past four sessions.However, Fugazi Research said in a Monday report that at current levels, the stock appears to be trading more on its recent price momentum than on the strength of its underlying business.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Fugazi: AKAN Shares Are ‘Uninvestable’&nbsp;</h2>Fugazi noted that Akanda is no longer in the weed business and is instead “installing fiber-optic towers in Mexico.” However, many momentum-driven traders chasing the “next hot weed stock” appear unaware that the company has shifted its focus entirely, it said.Concerns have also been raised about repeated shareholder dilution, with 10 capital raises over the past four years. The current tight supply setup leaves the stock vulnerable to a sharp downside move at any time, with the potential for abrupt price swings.Recent financial filings paint a consistent picture, Fugazi added. The legacy cannabis business has been phased out; telecom operations remain relatively small; cash resources are limited; and liabilities have grown beyond what the current business can comfortably support.“We consider AKAN’s shares to be uninvestable and to have zero fundamental value,” the report read.<h2 class="st-heading-2">What Sparked Akanda’s Breakout Rally?</h2>The stock surge followed a major policy shift, with the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) moving to <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/akan-stock-700-percent-rally-cannabis-reclassification/cZBMeb6Re47">reclassify</a> medical marijuana as a less restrictive drug after an executive order from President Donald Trump.Although this does not legalize marijuana, the reclassification is expected to reduce regulatory hurdles, offer tax benefits to licensed operators, and encourage further research. It could also accelerate rulemaking, improve patient access, and bring tighter oversight to medical marijuana programs across the U.S.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Retail Traders Expect Stock To Tank</h2>The stock continued to attract retail attention with sentiment on Stocktwits trending in the ‘extremely bullish’ territory over the past 24 hours, while message volumes on the platform surged 115%.However, chatter was largely negative, with one user stating that the stock crashes hard after every rally due to its lack of fundamental strength.<stembedurl>https://stocktwits.com/ChuChi/message/652167890</stembedurl>Another user expects the stock to fall to $20 before its quarterly earnings.

Top Small Cap Stocks To Add to Your Watchlist - May 1st

This Market Is Moving Fast

The market is sending a clear signal: capital is flowing aggressively into platforms that can scale innovation, whether that’s next-generation immunotherapy, AI-driven digital ecosystems, or entirely new infrastructure for energy and materials. This week’s developments, from fresh biotech funding to explosive user growth in social platforms and bold pivots into clean energy, highlight a broader theme: investors are rewarding companies that are either accelerating commercialization or positioning themselves at critical bottlenecks in emerging industries. $CUE, $RDDT, $SOBR, $KBLB, $WTO, $AKAN

<ul class="summary-bullets"><li>AKAN is also on track for its best week ever with gains of 300% so far.</li><li>Investor sentiment across cannabis stocks improved after the U.S. Justice Department moved state-regulated marijuana toward Schedule III.</li><li>AKAN’s rally was amplified by its tiny public float of about 534,420 shares, following multiple reverse stock splits.</li></ul>Shares of Akanda Corp. (AKAN) delivered one of the biggest rallies in April among cannabis stocks, rocketing 1,700% and sharply outperforming peers as traders targeted the micro-float stock during a policy-driven sector rebound.<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/AKAN">AKAN stock</a> outperformed cannabis peers, including&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/TCNNF">Trulieve Cannabis (TCNNF)</a>, up 94%;&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/CGC">Canopy Growth Corp. (CGC)</a>, up 30%;&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/IGC">IGC Pharma (IGC)</a>, up 25%; and&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/ACB">Aurora Cannabis (ACB)</a>, up 12%, over the past month. AKAN is also poised to log its best week ever,&nbsp;having more than quadrupled as of Thursday’s close.&nbsp;<img src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/koyfin_20260501_083616528_png_777b15d360.webp" alt="koyfin_20260501_083616528.png"><h2 class="st-heading-2">Tiny Float, Higher Buzz For AKAN</h2>Investor sentiment for cannabis stocks got a boost after the U.S. government moved state-regulated marijuana from Schedule I toward Schedule III, pushing increased medical research access, tax treatment clarity, and regulatory legitimacy.The change revived optimism across the medical cannabis sector, with traders rotating into smaller stocks, which have exposure to future regulatory tailwinds. Akanda had previously welcomed U.S. rescheduling efforts in December, keeping the company relevant in the segment.The company operates a hemp platform focused on expanding access to medicinal-grade cannabis, CBD, and wellness products across legal markets. THC, or tetrahydrocannabinol, is the part of cannabis that produces the “high” and is therefore more tightly regulated, while CBD, or cannabidiol, does not cause intoxication and is widely used in medical and wellness treatments.&nbsp;The company implemented a 1-for-3.125 reverse stock split last year, followed by a more recent 1-for-5 reverse stock split in January. A further reverse split adjustment last month reduced its total float to 534,420 shares. Short levels for the stock currently stand at 4.7%, its highest levels in four months.&nbsp;Meanwhile, cannabis peers such as TLRY have a float of 119.28 million shares, CGC about 380.82 million, and CRON nearly 379.05 million. The comparatively tiny supply made AKAN shares more sensitive to buying pressure amid April’s cannabis rally.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Canada Cultivation Plans Take Root</h2>Akanda’s main cannabis asset is its Gabriola Island cultivation site in British Columbia, where the company currently operates under a hemp cultivation license, while working toward a full THC cultivation license covering cannabis flower and derivative products. In October, the company extended its option on the property for an additional two years.The pot firm has also been evaluating Health Canada-aligned security infrastructure requirements, including improved perimeter controls, surveillance systems, access management, and secure storage measures needed in licensing inspections for THC and CBD activities. Commercial THC production has not yet begun at the site.Akanda also exited its earlier African cultivation exposure after operations at its former unit in Lesotho ceased following an unauthorized liquidation ordered by the High Court of Lesotho in 2022, after which Akanda moved away from the region. It later discontinued operations at its Canmart distribution unit in the UK last year, citing licensing renewal costs and litigation exposure that outweighed expected near-term revenues.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Telecom Pivot Adds A Safety Net</h2>Akanda has also been gradually refocusing its strategy more heavily on Canada and Europe, while building a parallel telecommunications infrastructure platform through its unit, First Towers &amp; Fiber, in Mexico.&nbsp;As part of the pivot, the company has been expanding its dark-fiber network footprint across Central Mexico, including a recent addition of about 200 kilometers of infrastructure, which is expected to generate $2 million in contracted cash flow over 10 years. The move into telecom has added a source of contract-based income alongside Akanda’s medical cannabis business, providing investors with a potential hedge against the typical volatility in pure-cannabis companies.&nbsp;<h2 class="st-heading-2">How Do Retail Traders Feel About AKAN?</h2>On Stocktwits, retail sentiment for AKAN was ‘extremely bullish’ amid an eye-watering 231,800% surge in message volumes over the past month.<figure class="image"><img src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/akan_ss_png_05e51e83c2.webp" alt="akan ss.png" width="974" height="140"><figcaption>AKAN sentiment and message volume as of April 30 | Source: Stocktwits</figcaption></figure>One user&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/Stinkypoopypants/message/651947797">said</a>, “This is a low float that can run as high as it’s pushed.
