The Week’s Biggest Winner & Loser

Canopy Growth Corp (CGC)

The market loves an underdog. Or, well, the market loves a penny cannabis stock with huge growth potential. Either way, Canopy Growth Corporation (CGC) blazed another win this week, rocketing another +65.54% on top of last week’s win, making CGC a two-timer Biggest Winner of the week for the first time in a long time.

Can Canopy and the rest of the cannabis sector keep up this run? I sure hope so considering I need this one to 10X off its low just to break even (wow, this one has been a stinker for some time, eh?)

Skyworks Solutions (SWKS)

Any semiconductor company that supplies chips to Apple’s (AAPL) iPhone got hit particularly hard this week when China announced a ban on any government or state-owned employee using iPhones.

Since Skyworks Solutions (SWKS) supplies the modems for Apple’s iPhone, the company got hit with a -9.38% loss this week, making it the Biggest Loser in the portfolio.

This Week’s Moves

Dutch Bros (BROS): Added to Position

On Thursday, Dutch Bros (BROS) announced a $300 million equity offering to raise funds which caused the stock to have a very sudden selloff followed by a full recovery within minutes of the market open. BROS triggered my next buy which added 5.88% to my position at $25.70.

The buy lowered my per-share cost -1.44% from $34.70 to $34.20. From here, my next buy target is $24.70, the low BROS saw during Thursday’s selloff, and my next sell target is $38.45, under a point of resistance Dutch Bros has seen several times in the past.

BROS closed the week at $27.71, up +7.82% from where I added Thursday.

Visa (V): Dividend Reinvestment

Visa (V) paid out its quarterly dividend on Tuesday which, after reinvesting, lowered my per-share cost -0.19% from $173.93 to $173.60. From here, I’ve raised my next buying price target up to $179.44, slightly above a key level of support Visa made in 2022.

Having just opened this position in May 2022, Visa is still relatively new in the portfolio so I’m willing to wait a while before taking anything out of the position.

Zoetis (ZTS): Dividend Reinvestment

Zoetis (ZTS) paid out its quarterly dividend on Tuesday which, after reinvesting, lowered my per-share cost -0.19% from $142.46 to $142.19. From here, my next buying price target is $142.27, slightly above a key level of support Zoetis made in 2022.

My next sell target is $199.78, just below a past point of resistance. Despite opening Zoetis relatively recently in June 2022, it’s been quite volatile so I definitely will take profits if it keeps rallying with the force it’s seen recently.

See you next week!
