Hot Canadian Stocks For 2019

tags:HON,ARGO,AGII,

September 27 was a big day for both Canopy Growth (NYSE:CGC) and Constellation Brands (NYSE:STZ) as the two parties’ shareholders approved their most recent investment agreement that will enable Constellation to acquire 104.5 million shares of Canopy Growth stock and 139.7 million warrants to buy more shares.

Constellation paid  C$48.60 and C$50.40 (1 Canadian dollar = 78 U.S. cents ) for all but 51.3 million warrants. Those warrants are exercisable at the price of Canopy Growth stock over the next three years.

Canopy Growth will get at least C$5 billion from Constellation for the 104.5 million shares. Canopy can also receive another C$4.5 billion from 88.5 million warrants which are exercisable for C$50.40 per share, as well as an unknown possible future amount for the remaining 51.3 million warrants.

Both companies have a lot to gain from the relationship, but for average investors who don’t have as long of a time horizon, is the deal a significant headwind for CGC stock?

    Other top companies like AT&T (NYSE: T) and Honeywell International Inc. (NYSE: HON) also have been removed and then thrived after their dismissal. As was the case with GM, sometimes the index is forced to remove a company over a bankruptcy, but often it is just the case of a company or sector falling horribly out of favor or a financial crisis crippling a company temporarily.
