In 2024, total Canadian cannabis sales reached $4.7 billion CAD, up 11% year-over-year, according to Statistics Canada. The global legal cannabis market is projected to grow at a 25.3% CAGR through 2027, per Grand View Research.

The survivors—companies like Canopy Growth (CGC), Tilray (TLRY), and Organigram (OGI)—are now focusing on profitability. In Q3 2024, Canopy reported its first positive EBITDA of $8.2 million, while Tilray generated $15.3 million in adjusted EBITDA. However, only 6 of 24 major Canadian LPs (licensed producers) reported positive free cash flow in 2024. The sector is bifurcated: tier-1 producers with $50M+ quarterly revenue and international exposure versus tier-3 companies burning $10M+ per quarter.

My take: Canadian cannabis stocks are no longer a moonshot—they’re a value play for patient investors. The key is to buy only companies with positive EBITDA, $100M+ cash reserve] holds 20+ stocks but has a 0.75% expense ratio. However, it includes many unprofitable companies. I prefer buying the top 2-3 LPs directly.

Question: What is the dividend yield on Canadian cannabis stocks? Zero. No major Canadian cannabis stock pays a dividend. The sector is still in the growth/cash-burn phase. Dividends are unlikely until 2027-2028, once companies achieve consistent free cash flow.

Question: How do I buy Canadian cannabis stocks? You can buy them on the TSX (e.g., WEED for Canopy) or NASDAQ (e.g., TLRY for Tilray) through any major brokerage like Fidelity, Schwab, or Robinhood. Be aware that some brokers restrict cannabis stock purchases due to federal illegality in the U.S.
