Despite Sundial’s stock falling by 40% so far in 2022 and 68% over the past 52-weeks, one Wall Street analyst remains bullish on the stock. ATB Capital Markets analyst Frederico Gomes reiterated his Outperform rating for Sundial and a price target of $0.80. The positive rating comes as another Canadian cannabis giant, Canopy Growth (NASDAQ:CGC), was downgraded by Cannaccord from $6.00 to $4.50 CAD per share following its disappointing quarterly earnings report. According to TipRanks, Canopy has a one Buy rating out of eleven analysts, and a median price target of $5.15.

Sundial stock forecast

The dire state of the cannabis sector right now could be summed up by the Global X Cannabis ETF (NASDAQ:POTX) announcing a reverse split for its fund. While we see this in struggling stocks, like potentially in Sundial, to see an ETF reverse split its shares is nearly unprecedented. The 1 for 6 reverse split will take place after the markets close on June 10th.
