Next Green Wave Holdings Inc (CSE:NGW) (OTCMKTS:NXGWF) was on the rise on Thursday, up 11.1% in Canada at C$0.15 and nearly 32% over the counter at US$0.12. The California-focused cannabis firm opened the doors to a new flagship retail store in San Diego this week.

The 5,000-square-foot space will sell the company’s line of CBD brands and products and serve as an event facility for the cannabis community and local artists.

Aleafia Health Inc (TSE:ALEF) (OTCMKTS:ALEAF) also moved higher, up 4.3% in the US at US$0.51 and 1.5% in Canada at C$0.66. The Toronto-based company is launching cannabis-infused sublingual strips in Canada.

Organigram Holdings Inc (TSE:OGI) (NASDAQ:OGI) continued its dream run on the back of better-than-expected results released on Tuesday afternoon. Shares of the cannabis company were up another 6.2% in Canada at C$4.30 and 4.4% in the US at US$3.28.

Duds

Aphria Inc (TSE:APHA) (NYSE:APHA) lost ground on Thursday after releasing disappointing earnings. The Canadian pot producer swung to a loss of C$8.2 million or C$0.03 cents in its fiscal 2Q from a profit of C$54.8 million, or C$0.22 cents a share, during the same period a year ago.

Shares were down 2.3% in Toronto at C$6.72 and 1.9% in New York at US$5.14.

The Canadian company’s CFO was recently quoted as being in favour of becoming a dividend-paying stock – a rarity in the cannabis sector.
