The marijuana stock market has seen quite its fair share of competition over the past few years. In that time, many companies have come forward to see if their innovation is enough to see success in the overall pot stock market. With so much competition going on, it seems as though there are only a handful of companies that have secured growth plans for the future of the industry. While there are a lot of marijuana stocks to watch, these ones may just have what it takes to move forward in the coming years.

An Alternative Pot Stock

Leafbuyer Technologies, Inc. (LBUY) has shown itself to be one of the leading competitors in the cannabis stock market. The company runs an online platform that gives users information on where the nearest dispensary is and what products they may be able to find at a given location. Recently, the company has added a number of new features to their platform that has helped to increase customer acquisition as well as retention.

One of the newest items that they have added has been the option of order ahead and delivery. These two in combination have shown that Leafbuyer Technologies has a solid foundation with the various dispensaries that they work with. The company has also maintained its momentum toward the coming years, as they continue to add new groundbreaking features to their online and digital platform.

Leafbuyer Announced a New Advertising Solution

Leafbuyer Technologies recently stated that they have added some new enhancements to their site. The company has decided that the CBD market is worth tapping into as it presents a new opportunity that has yet to be fully excavated. The company has stated that their new CBD locations page should help to give customers a clear view of where to purchase CBD as well as which products may be the best for a given consumer.

Kurt Rossner, CEO of Leafbuyer stated that “The number of Leafbuyer CBD customers has grown exponentially – more than 330% – over the last year. After experiencing increased demand, we decided to provide additional value for our CBD company clients and help streamline consumer interaction with the brands. Previously, we focused on dispensary locations and online CBD operations.” The company continuously shows their commitment to serving the various different aspects of the growing cannabis stock space.

A Big Player in the Marijuana Space

Cronos Group (NASDAQ:CRON) has remained as one of the largest growers of marijuana in the whole of the Canadian cannabis space. Currently, the company is only projected to grow around 40,000 kilograms of cannabis when operating at full capacity, but some estimates have shown that this number may title in the next year or so.

One of the important things to look out for is the price targets for the company, as well as doing the proper research before investing. While Cronos Group is one of the largest companies in the marijuana industry, they are definitely not immune to the various fluctuations that the market can have.

The marijuana stock market has been fueled by a high amount of investor faith over the past year or so. With so much going on in the industry, it can often be difficult to pinpoint one or two companies to watch. Cannabis is a market that has so many different subsections within it, which can often make it hard to find the most value. Well, most tend to look at the large companies that grow the substance, it seems as though there is a lot of potential in the companies that operate outside the traditional boundaries of the industry. These companies may not be the largest, but they definitely do constitute a second look.

Staying Focused On The Right Marijuana Stocks

Leafbuyer Technologies, Inc. (LBUY) is considered to be the leader when it comes to all things cannabis in the digital space. The company has continuously illustrated their demand when it comes to serving customers the best and highest quality information regarding everything from where the nearest dispensary is to what items are for sale at a given location. In the past year or so, the company has made a number of changes including the addition of services such as order ahead and delivery. Adding these features means that they have succeeded in increasing customer acquisition and retention.

Recently, Leafbuyer Technologies announced that they have added a series of new enhancements to their online platform. One of the newest spaces that they have worked in has been a CBD locations page which will help to inform patients looking to buy CBD or cannabidiol from the market. This development creates just another reason for Leafbuyer to continue reaching a renewed market as they move forward. Analysts have stated that the hemp market could hit as high as $22 billion by the end of 2022, which means that there is a lot left to gain.

Kurt Rossner, CEO of Leafbuyer Technologies stated that “The number of Leafbuyer CBD customers has grown exponentially – more than 330% – over the last year. After experiencing increased demand, we decided to provide additional value for our CBD company clients and help streamline consumer interaction with the brands. Previously, we focused on dispensary locations and online CBD operations. There is huge opportunity to cater to the hundreds of brick and mortar CBD locations across the country and provide this untapped market with valuable marketing and advertising solutions.”

Scotts Miracle-Gro (NYSE:SMG) is not a traditional cannabis company in any meaning of the word, but the company has continuously built its business upon the back of the marijuana space. By producing a large range of products needed by those who grow cannabis, Scotts Miracle-Gro has increased its demand greatly in the past few months alone.

Although their profit margin sits at around 9%, they have shown that their subsidiary Hawthorne Gardening, can cater to a higher margin product, specifically aimed at those wishing to grow the marijuana plant. The hopes are that in the coming months, the company can continue to find its place amongst the cannabis industry, as the market continues to grow.

Marijuana Stocks Mentioned Below:

Leafbuyer Technologies, Inc. (OTCQB:LBUY), Tilray, Inc. (NASDAQ:TLRY) & Aurora Cannabis Inc (NYSE:ACB)

It doesn’t matter where you stand on the issue;

the fact is that the trade wars that are being created right now are impacting the market.  Mexico’s 5% tariff scare is dwarfed in comparison to the one between the U.S. and China. So where does that leave marijuana stocks?

This is a good question.  In one school of thought, marijuana stocks may not even be impacted due to the little exposure most companies have to China. On the other hand, you could look at it and say, “Will it affect places like Europe or Australia?”  Being that a few companies are already going international, where could be the segments and what could be the companies to keep an eye on?

For starters, one segment that will likely always be evolving no matter what the global issues may be is technology.  We’re beginning to see the advent of cannabis and technology collide and that ranges anywhere from payment processing to on-demand applications and everywhere in between.

A company that’s been throwing around in the conversation has been Leafbuyer Technologies, Inc. (OTCQB:LBUY). The company initially focused on being the “Priceline of Pot” has evolved and that could spell more opportunity for the company & those looking at it right now.

Most recently Leafbuyer Technologies, Inc. (OTCQB:LBUY) signed a Letter of Intent to acquire CBD.io. According to the company, this deal could effectively double the company’s current revenue run rate. CBD.io is a successful expo operator for the CBD industry and plans to rapidly expand its offering this year. Kurt Rossner, CEO of Leafbuyer said directly, “Last year, CBD.io sold nearly 200 booths, this year we will cross-sell our platform of over 400 clients and look to double that.”

And the likelihood of a trade war with China interrupting the cannabis deals market in North America may be less likely.  On top of this, Leafbuyer Technologies, Inc. (OTCQB:LBUY) has also been expanding its national footprint, further insulating it from global waves.  The company opened additional offices on the west coast and further, announced partnerships with outlets like the Oklahoma Gazette as well as dozens of dispensary clients.

The launch of its Greenlight Platform for ordering from dispensaries has been quickly received by consumers with over 80,000 users to date. Complementing this was the launch of its delivery mobile app feature to allow dispensaries in states like California, Arizona, Nevada, and Washington to add delivery to their offering all through Greenlight.

What About Marijuana Stocks In The Global Supply Chain?

We’ve seen a list of marijuana stocks enter a global arena through supply chain expansion. But then again, even though many of these pot stocks are operating globally, the cannabis market make-up doesn’t really expose these companies to China directly (and for the most part indirectly either).

Tilray, Inc. (NASDAQ:TLRY), for instance, has built a foothold in the cultivation, production, and distribution segment of the industry.  The company operates in twelve countries across 5 continents. After the FDA hearing earlier this month, Tilray could be positioned to take on new regulations that may come from the FDA in the future.  The bigger conversation was with regard to testing and consistency in the product.  Tilray is a GMP-certified medical cannabis producer already, which helps. But again, the company has zero exposure to China.

The current footprint spans the UK, Germany, Croatia, Czech Republic, Cyprus, and then the only other “close areas” to China are Australia and New Zealand. Unless the government completely cuts off global shipping routes, the likelihood of Tilray being directly impacted by trade tariffs could be slim (but never say never).  The bigger news coming from the company this month is with regard to its largest shareholder, Privateer Holdings.

Some concerns arose in the past when Privateer appeared to be a potentially large risk for retail investors due to the sheer size of its position and when the lock-up on that stock came to an end.  This month, Privateer said it will extend for up to two years on 77% of Tilray’s total shares outstanding. They will also “provide for the orderly release of the 75 million Tilray, Inc. (NASDAQ:TLRY) shares held by Privateer to Privateer’s equity holders.”

Another marijuana stock “in the same boat” is Aurora Cannabis Inc (NYSE:ACB). Not only had the company initially focused on North America, but their growth has expanded relatively everywhere but China.  Similar to Tilray, Aurora operates in multiple countries across 5 continents (24 countries to be specific). This has helped build a revenue stream that is growing by over 20% quarter over quarter.

Aurora Cannabis Inc (NYSE:ACB) is most likely prepared for further regulation on testing as it too has EU GMP-certified cannabis production facilities. If anything, the company has more of a likelihood of becoming a leader in CBD/hemp cultivation and sales in Europe than expanding into China at this current time.

In addition to this, Aurora Cannabis Inc (NYSE:ACB) was just named among a few other marijuana companies to sign on as a PAX Era brand partner.  It effectively allows the company to offer products in pods that are compatible with PAX devices; a move that could enhance the current brand portfolio of the company.

What Will Come Of China Trade Talks?

There’s really no telling what will happen with this China trade deal.  It seems to change each week. But one thing we can say is that for the most part, marijuana stocks are being driven by other forces that have little to do with global trade between the US and China.  For this reason, not only are these some stocks to keep an eye on but it is also a sector that is likely to better navigate the waters when the talking heads are only chatting about China trade.

The world of marijuana stocks has remained extremely exciting for quite some time now. Over the course of the past year or so, cannabis has shown itself to be more than just a miracle plant, but something that the world can latch on to for many different reasons. Because of the substance’s importance, it seems as though marijuana can almost be viewed as a commodity rather than just another drug. Many companies have been able to grow large quantities of the substance which continues to add to how much potential it has. All in all, marijuana remains one of the most exciting and enticing markets of the modern day.

Leafbuyer Technologies, Inc. (LBUY) is one of the most widely recognized online platforms for everything related to the world of marijuana. The company runs a comprehensive guide to the nearest dispensaries all the way to what strains are available at a given location. Because they have such a wide scope, it seems as though Leafbuyer Technology is positioned quite well in the market. The company has stated that they are also in the process of introducing a variety of buyer loyalty programs as well as a delivery and live menu service. Both of these in combination should help to both increase customer acquisition as well as retention.

In addition to announcing record sales, the company recently stated that they have signed into a letter of intent to acquire one of the lead CBD trade shows. The trade show known as CBD.io is one of the most visible cannabidiol operations currently displayed in the CBD and vaporizer industry. The agreement that the two have shows that the former will have an ownership stake in the e-commerce website for wholesale and retail CBD products.

Kurt Rossner, CEO of Leafbuyer stated that “CBD has become a pop culture phenomenon, and trade shows are a lucrative and unsaturated sector of the industry.CBD.io is a profitable company and has a proven financial model that will increase Leafbuyer’s top line and be a powerful driver for earnings. The significant advantage of this acquisition is the ability for Leafbuyer to drive tremendous brand exposure to another fast-growing segment of the industry.” All in all, Leafbuyer remains one of the most interesting cannabis companies to keep a close eye on in the near future.

GW Pharmaceutical (NASDAQ:GWPH) is one of the leading pharmaceutical companies currently creating cannabis-infused compounds. The company’s key product, Epidiolex, is currently working as the most advanced treatment for various rare forms of epilepsy including Dravet Syndrome and Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome.

The company received some of the first approvals in the U.S. for cannabis-infused pharmaceuticals which helped to bring the company a large amount of notoriety. The company has a very large opportunity to become one of the largest players in the pharmaceutical side of the cannabis industry, but only if they are able to capitalize on the exposure they currently have to the space. GW Pharmaceuticals continues to demonstrate just how solid of an alternative investment they could potentially be.
