Canopy Growth Considers Another Reverse Stock Split Amid Falling Share Price
Canopy Growth (NASDAQ: CGC) is considering another reverse stock split after its share price fell below $1 again, following a previous split in December 2023. The company's shares have dropped by roughly 80% from pre-split levels and are now trading at around $0.96 per share. Maintaining a minimum share price of $1 is crucial for staying listed on major exchanges like NASDAQ, which facilitates easier capital raising and investor access. The proposed reverse split requires shareholder approval in a vote scheduled for September 25. While the move may help prevent delisting, it typically signals financial distress rather than strength. Canopy Growth reported improved sales across all divisions during Q1 fiscal 2027 with an overall revenue increase of 13%, and its losses were down by 68% compared to the prior year's same quarter. Despite these improvements, market reaction has been muted due to broader challenges in the cannabis sector. Investors remain cautious about a significant rebound from this move alone.
