NASDAQ:SNDL managed to reclaim the $0.30 price level at the end of last week but the stock still posted a loss for the previous five trading sessions. Sundial has struggled this year, posting a 49% loss in 2022 and remains in jeopardy of being delisted from the NASDAQ exchange after falling below the $1.00 price level. Rumors of a reverse split have not helped the stock, which finds itself out of favor with even the meme stock crowd. With a short interest of just 9.14%, it doesn’t seem like even a short squeeze will be able to push Sundial back over $1.00.

Over the weekend, Sundial emerged as a potential candidate to acquire the Zenabis Group, which is a subsidiary of Quebec-based company Hexo (NASDAQ:HEXO). Sundial made an application to make a stalking horse bid, which is a bid to acquire the assets and resources of a bankrupt entity. Hexo recently sold a stake of its company to Canadian cannabis giant Tilray (NASDAQ:TLRY). The Zenabis assets would include a grow facility in New Brunswick which produces over 46,000 kilograms of dried cannabis per year.

Sundial stock forecast

Sundial could finally be making use of its warchest of cash to make more acquisitions within the industry. Earlier this year, Sundial closed on its acquisition of Canadian liquor distributor, Alcanna, which should reap benefits for Sundial as early as this next quarter. With no debt on its balance sheet, Sundial is in a fortunate position to be able to make acquisitions, and it looks like Zenabis is the company’s first target following the close of the Alcanna deal.

AUD/USD leans on a China prop that's quietly buckling

The Australian Dollar spent Monday trying to talk itself into a recovery, and the tape was not buying it. AUD/USD has ridden a China-and-commodities narrative for months, one that conveniently glossed over how shaky both legs of that trade have become, and Friday's Nonfarm Payrolls print finally forced a reckoning. US employers added 172K jobs against a consensus near 85K, with roughly 93K of upward revisions to prior months and the unemployment rate steady at 4.3%.

USD/JPY: Japanese Yen ignores every reason it has to strengthen

There is a strange disconnect running through the Japanese Yen right now, and USD/JPY parked just above 160.00 captures it perfectly. By any domestic reading the Yen should be firming: first-quarter Gross Domestic Product beat expectations over the weekend at 0.5% on the quarter, the Bank of Japan is widely expected to raise rates at its meeting on June 18, and authorities have spent the past week jawboning a currency they clearly want stronger.

Gold edges lower below $4,350 as Fed rate hike expectations grow

Gold price trades with mild losses around $4,325 during the early Asian session on Tuesday. The precious metal remains on the defensive near its lowest since March 24 amid uncertainty in the Middle East and rising bets of a US interest rate hike.

$1.75 trillion: Is SpaceX the most popular IPO in history, or the most engineered?

On June 12, the largest initial public offering (IPO) in history is set to hit the tape, and almost nobody is asking whether the price is right, because almost everybody already wants in.

The US economy defies the rules: 100 days into the Oil shock and the recession signal is still missing

More than three months after the start of the Iran war and the resulting disruption to global energy markets, the US economy continues to display remarkable resilience. The conflict has triggered a sharp rise in Oil prices, reignited inflationary pressures and fueled widespread concerns about a potential economic slowdown.
