While our portfolio still shows a downtrend by the end of May 2025, and the Global Cannabis Stock Index still fell 7%, many cannabis-related stocks and the broader market have seen a relatively stronger performance in the past month and into mid June, even though the sector continues to underperform the general market year‑to‑date.
-
While Tilray is still down ~81% from its 52‑week high, it has shown three consecutive positive days as of mid-June, including recent daily gains of +4.5% and +1.1%, suggesting some short-term bullish sentiment.
-
The broader Global Cannabis Stock Index showed a mild Q2 uptick of +3.8%, bouncing back somewhat after declines in Q1, although it still fell ~7% in May.
-
Despite dropping by roughly 17% in May, Glass House Brands (GLASF) keeps outperforming its peers and thus stands out as a “success story”. Its strong year-to-date revenue growth (+49% YoY) as of Q1 further supports this narrative, even if profitability may remain elusive.
The SWI Top Cannabis Players Portfolio
Industry Restructuring is Underway
As we have reported before, the “healthy shrinking” and industry consolidation are underway. Many weaker players are being acquired or exited. Stronger, better-capitalized companies (like GLASF and major players such as IIPR and GTBIF are better positioned for long-term profitability. Our view of a structural shakeout yielding industry leaders is well-supported by current data. Let’s keep monitoring these trends and signals!
-
Federal U.S. legal clarity remains a key catalyst. Absent progress, such as SAFER Banking or DEA rescheduling, might cause sector-wide recovery to remain sluggish.
-
Continued consolidation may favor leading companies with economies of scale and diverse constituents.

Watch for earnings and trade data from top portfolio names.
While most market caps still lag behind their highs in January of 2022, there are now more increases than decreases compared to March 2025, with two outliers., WM Technologies (MAPS) and OrganiGram Holdings (OGI) have market cap increases of 14.7% and 9.1%, respectively. A faint glimmer of hope is emerging. While the industry still lags and challenges persist, a few key players are showing signs of resilience. Continue tracking.
