Best Warren Buffett Stocks To Watch Right Now: Aphria Inc. (APHQF)

Advisors’ Opinion:

  • [By Jeremy Bowman]

    Four of the five biggest marijuana stocks, including Canopy, Aurora Cannabis (NASDAQOTH:ACBFF), and Aphria (NASDAQOTH:APHQF), have all more than doubled, while shares of Tilray (NASDAQ:TLRY) have absolutely skyrocketed. Tilray’s gains have come in part because of its unusually low float and heavy short interest — and because the pot stock was the first to list directly on an American exchange when it had its IPO in July. 

  • [By Sean Williams]

    There are market opportunities that exist beyond Europe. Aphria (NASDAQOTH:APHQF) is one such major Canadian pot player that’s turning its attention to Africa’s burgeoning cannabis industry.

  • [By Sean Williams]

    Meanwhile, Aphria (NASDAQOTH:APHQF) has over three times as much production potential when at full capacity in 2019 – an estimated 230,000 kilograms of dried cannabis – but is valued at only $1.9 billion.  What’s more, Aphria has considerably stronger sales to speak of, and it’s already been generating quarterly profits, unlike Cronos Group, which continues to lose money each quarter. This is why I’ve referred to Cronos as possibly the most overvalued marijuana stock of the bunch, and a stock that I wouldn’t touch with a 10-foot pole.

  • [By Keith Speights]

    Is the “pot-com” bubble about to pop? That’s probably the biggest fear for investors who have already jumped into marijuana stocks or have considered doing so. After all, Tilray’s (NASDAQ:TLRY) share price has skyrocketed 270% in just one month. Canopy Growth (NYSE:CGC) and Aphria (NASDAQOTH:APHQF) stocks have more than doubled during the same period. Cronos Group (NASDAQ:CRON) isn’t too far behind with an 80% gain.

  • [By Reuben Gregg Brewer]
