Highlights from the Week
Biggest Winner: Nvidia (NVDA)
Nvidia (NVDA) proved it still has what it takes this week, reporting a “Better Than Feared” quarterly report and swapping a down week for a positive +3.49% in a sea of red. That certainly earns the company its place as this week’s Biggest Winner.
Biggest Loser: Canopy Growth Corporation (CGC)
The hype is dead. Now that the cannabis stocks are being judged on the actual fundamentals (who would of thought of doing that?!), even sector leader Canopy Growth Corp (CGC) can’t make ends meet, once again reporting a missed quarter losing more money than expected.
Until other countries start legalizing recreational marijuana use on a federal level (hello, U.S.), the entire sector is going to be in a rough way.
In a week of losers, CGC is king, losing an epic -14.56% and rapidly approaching being flat for the year.
In second place is GW Pharmaceuticals (GWPH), getting the smackdown to the tune of -7.66% for the week. Even though GWPH is a fantastic company with outstanding earnings, it’s getting painted with the same brush as its recreational-pot-cohort since it’s considered a cannabis play. Hopefully, the market will grow wise and start treating GWPH as the successful biopharma play it is rather than just another pot stock.
This Week’s Moves
Pfizer (PFE): Added to Position
Following news of protests in Hong Kong combined with financial concerns, Pfizer (PFE) sold off more than 4% during Monday trading, breaking through the $35.00 mark where I added to my position at $34.98.
Pfizer is down more than -22% since July 3 following its announcement that it would be spinning off its consumer drug division, a significant contributor to its revenue and sales.
For the long-term investor, Pfizer has the potential for blockbuster drugs in its pipeline to come to market, however, its prospects aren’t great for the short term. At these prices, Pfizer yields a dividend of more than 4%.
As the market continues to sell off, I have additional price targets to add to my position at $31.15, $24.56 and even $19.08, all much lower than here.
PFE closed the week at $34.65, down -0.94% from where I added on Monday. It hurts to watch a stock go lower after I buy, even when I’m sticking to my discipline and trading plan. Must. Think. Long. Term.
