Aurora Cannabis: Medical Market In Focus, Golden Cross Suggests Stock Uptrend Ahead Of Q1 Earnings

Author: Surbhi Jain | May 08, 2024 09:17am

Aurora Cannabis Inc (NASDAQ:ACB) recently saw its stock make a Golden Cross, a bullish technical pattern signaling a potential uptrend.

This comes ahead of the company’s earnings report scheduled for May 20.

Despite a tumultuous few years that saw its shares plummet by over 95%, Aurora stock has shown resilience. It’s up 2.46% over the past year and 39.86% year-to-date.

The leading cannabis producer has also been focusing on strengthening its financial position and operational efficiency, which has been well-received by investors.

Analysts Urge Caution

One of the key drivers of Aurora’s recent growth has been its international medical cannabis sales, particularly in markets like Germany and Australia. The Edmonton, Canada-based company has strategically shifted its focus to the medical cannabis business, which offers higher margins compared to the recreational market.

While Aurora Cannabis has made efforts to expand into new markets and manage its debt load, its core medicinal marijuana market in Canada has not bene seeing substantial growth.

BTIG analysts are cautious, noting that Aurora may not benefit significantly from proposed cannabis regulations in Canada or the U.S.

The White House is expected to reclassify marijuana as a less dangerous drug — a significant development for the cannabis industry. However, BTIG warns that the process could face delays due to legal challenges and implementation uncertainties.

They are also pessimistic about the progress of the cannabis banking bill, citing opposition from Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.

Golden Cross Suggests Potential Uptrend In Price

The company’s recent performance and technical indicators suggest a moderately bullish trend.

Chart: Benzinga Pro

Aurora Cannabis’ “Golden Cross” pattern is a bullish signal. It occurs when a stock’s short-term moving average, typically the 50-day moving average (orange line above), crosses above its long-term moving average, often the 200-day moving average (blue line above).

Technical analysts see this as a positive sign for the stock, indicating a potential uptrend in the share price.

The Golden Cross comes as cannabis market conditions improve and legalization efforts in various jurisdictions increase.

However, investors should remain cautious and monitor the stock’s performance closely, especially given its recent rally and the broader market conditions in the cannabis sector.
