Canopy Growth Wins MTL Cannabis Shareholder Backing for Acquisition

Tipranks - Thu Feb 19, 3:32PM CST

President's Day Sale - 70% Off

Canopy Growth ( (TSE:WEED) ) has shared an announcement.

Canopy Growth said shareholders of MTL Cannabis Corp. have overwhelmingly approved its planned acquisition of the Quebec-based producer, with 99.97% of votes cast and high participation backing the deal. The transaction, structured as a plan of arrangement, still requires court and other customary approvals, and the companies expect to close before the end of March 2026.

Management framed the combination as a step toward creating Canada’s leading medical cannabis player by marrying MTL’s cultivation strengths with Canopy’s scale and distribution in Canada and regulated international markets. If completed as planned, the deal should bolster Canopy’s competitive position, expand its product sourcing capabilities, and potentially enhance long-term growth prospects for shareholders and medical cannabis patients across its global footprint.

The most recent analyst rating on (TSE:WEED) stock is a Sell with a C$1.40 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Canopy Growth stock, see the TSE:WEED Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on TSE:WEED Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, TSE:WEED is a Neutral.

The score is held down primarily by weak financial performance (shrinking revenue, deep losses, and negative cash flow) and bearish technicals (below key moving averages with negative MACD). These are partially offset by an improving earnings-call picture, including strong Canadian segment growth, cost reductions, and a strengthened cash position relative to debt.
