NASDAQ:SNDL has started off the week in the red, just as it has performed essentially since the Reddit short squeeze momentarily catapulted Sundial into the mainstream spotlight.

That report came from an analyst from Canaccord Genuity in late March, which downgraded Sundial’s stock outlook from a hold to a sell rating, and initiated a new price target of $0.65. The new price target represents a steep 40% decline from Monday’s closing price levels, something that isn’t too hard to imagine after Sundial’s recent performance. The analyst was not just taking the black swan event of the Reddit short squeeze into account, but also used the decline in fourth quarter net revenues as a bearish signal. In a fairly stagnant Canadian cannabis industry, Sundial has little room to grow aside from potential acquisitions of smaller companies down the road.
