How is cannibis securities doing today

Screening Filters

1. Theme: The Cannabis Industry

   • Purpose: Limit results to companies directly involved in the cannabis sector.
   • Rationale: The user asked about cannabis securities specifically, so this thematic filter ensures we’re only looking at stocks whose primary business is cannabis (cultivation, processing, distribution, ancillary services, etc.), rather than the broader market.

2. Market Cap ≥ $100,000,000

   • Purpose: Focus on more established cannabis companies.
   • Rationale: Many cannabis stocks are very small, speculative, and thinly traded. Setting a minimum market cap filters out the tiniest, most fragile names and keeps the focus on companies with a bit more scale and staying power, which better reflects how the “sector” is performing rather than a few micro-cap outliers.

3. Price ≥ $1 per share

   • Purpose: Exclude extremely low‑priced “penny stocks.”
   • Rationale: Stocks trading under $1 are often highly volatile, can be at risk of delisting, and may distort a view of sector performance because tiny price moves look large in percentage terms. This helps provide a clearer, more stable picture of how cannabis securities are doing.

4. Monthly Average Dollar Volume ≥ $200,000

   • Purpose: Ensure the stocks included are reasonably liquid and actively traded.
   • Rationale: The user is asking how cannabis securities are performing today, which requires current, meaningful trading activity. A dollar-volume filter removes illiquid names where a few small trades can skew prices, so we get a more reliable read on intraday or daily performance.

Why Results Match the User’s Question

• The cannabis theme filter directly targets the sector the user cares about.
• The market cap, price, and liquidity filters refine that universe to more established, actively traded cannabis stocks, giving a more representative and interpretable snapshot of how “cannabis securities” are performing today, rather than a noisy mix of illiquid micro-caps and penny names.
