Canopy Growth Corporation – High-Risk, High-Reward SpeculationThe stock of Canopy Growth Corporation experienced an unprecedented rally following its initial public offering (IPO). After a brief correction phase, the share price surged from CAD 0.25 to an all-time high of CAD 744.50 within four and a half years — an increase of over 244,000%. A sharp decline followed, interrupted by a temporary rebound that reached a new record high of CAD 766.80. This movement marked the beginning of a massive correction phase during which the stock dropped to CAD 1.09 — a loss of more than 99% from its peak.
At the low point of this move, a five-wave impulse structure emerged for the first time, which, according to Elliott Wave Theory, could indicate the potential end of the larger corrective Wave 2.
The following analysis takes a closer look at this initial impulse, including the resulting price development and potential entry zones for speculative investors. The analysis is based on Elliott Wave Theory and reflects a subjective market interpretation. The corresponding wave count can be found in the attached chart.
Market Structure According to Elliott Wave Theory
On April 9, 2025, Canopy's stock marked the low of the overarching Wave 2 at CAD 1.09. By April 25, 2025, a complete five-wave impulse had developed, ending at CAD 2.26. Since then, the price has been undergoing a corrective Wave 2.
This correction is unfolding in a classic A-B-C pattern with an internal 3-3-5 structure. Currently, the final downward movement — Wave C — is in progress, within which the corrective, slightly upward-directed Wave 4 is developing. Wave 4 is expected to conclude at one of the following Fibonacci retracement levels of the preceding Wave 3:
• 0.214 at CAD 1.85
• 0.382 at CAD 1.94
• 0.500 at CAD 1.99
The completion of Wave 4 is anticipated within this price range (CAD 1.85 – 1.99). This should be followed by the final Wave 5 within Wave C. A specific price target for Wave 5 can only be determined once Wave 4 is fully formed.
However, based on the larger Wave 1, a target zone for the end of the corrective Wave 2 can already be projected. Relevant retracement levels include:
• 0.618 at CAD 1.54
• 0.786 at CAD 1.34
• 0.887 at CAD 1.22
Given the relatively small market capitalization of currently around CAD 350 million, a test of the lower retracement levels at CAD 1.34 or even CAD 1.22 seems likely. Nevertheless, a premature reversal from CAD 1.54 is also possible.
Conclusion: Speculative Accumulation Zone and Price Targets
From a technical standpoint, the accumulation zone of interest for Canopy Growth lies between CAD 1.54 and CAD 1.22. Entering this range could represent a speculative opportunity with a high risk-reward ratio.
Following the completion of Wave 2, an upward-directed Wave 3 could aim for a minimum price target of CAD 2.99. Further extensions to CAD 3.44 or even CAD 4.16 are conceivable. Starting from the 0.618 retracement level at CAD 1.54, even the minimum target would represent a potential price gain of +94.5%.
Should this structure confirm itself in the larger time frame and develop into a broader five-wave impulse, long-term price targets in the range of CAD 1,240 to CAD 2,007 could be reached. This would imply a price increase of over 80,000% to 130,000% from the CAD 1.54 level. However, such a development would likely take several years.
Risk Disclaimer
Canopy Growth Corporation stock remains a highly volatile speculative investment. Given the extreme fluctuations and currently weak fundamental metrics, alongside the potential for extraordinary returns, there is always a corresponding risk of total loss. Investors should be fully aware of these risks and choose an appropriately sized position.
