According to a The Street: Real Money article, 2018 has been the year of IPOs in the cannabis space. So far, MedMen (CSE:MMEN), Green Organic Dutchman (TSE:TGOD) and Tilray (NASDAQ:THRY) have gone public with varying results. MedMen’s IPO did not go at the start, but has been slowly making its way higher in the charts, while the Green Organic Dutchman started out strong only to stumble later and is slowly gaining some traction in the market again. Tilray has been the only cannabis stock that has been consistently doing well since it’s IPO. Tilray has been able to make 95 percent more than it did last year in its second quarter and its stocked jumped 10 percent on Tuesday this week after the company announced its results.
