Ongoing Investigation of Canopy Growth Corporation by Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP

Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a prominent securities law firm, has embarked on an investigation regarding potential claims against Canopy Growth Corporation, the notable cannabis company listed on NASDAQ under the ticker CGC. This inquiry is particularly crucial for investors who acquired securities in Canopy between May 30, 2024, and February 6, 2025. The firm urges those affected to reach out for assistance as they navigate their legal options amidst the claims.

The investigation stems from allegations that Canopy Growth, along with its executives, may have breached federal securities laws by disseminating false or misleading information. Notably, concerns have been raised about significant costs incurred during the launch of their Claybourne pre-rolled joint products in Canada. Additionally, it seems the company failed to properly disclose how these operational costs, along with other indirect costs related to their Storz & Bickel vaporizer devices, have adversely impacted their gross margins and overall financial standing.

In a pivotal press release issued on February 7, 2025, Canopy announced a wider-than-expected loss for the third quarter of FY 2025, reporting a loss of C$1.11 per share, compared to the anticipated C$0.48 loss. The firm indicated that the drag on gross margins, which fell by 400 basis points to 32%, was primarily due to the high initial costs associated with Claybourne product launches and rising indirect costs related to other products. This disclosure prompted a significant share price decrease of 27.34%, equating to a loss of $0.76 per share, closing at $2.02.

Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP encourages all affected investors to understand that they have the option to become lead plaintiffs in the class action lawsuit. The role of a lead plaintiff entails directing the litigation on behalf of fellow investors who faced similar losses. Importantly, an individual’s potential participation in any financial recovery is not contingent upon their decision to lead the class or remain a passive member.

Moreover, the firm also solicits any individuals, including whistleblowers or former employees who possess information regarding Canopy's alleged conduct, to step forward and contribute to the investigation. This appeal underscores the firm’s commitment to unveiling the full scope of the situation surrounding Canopy Growth’s corporate actions.

As Faruqi & Faruqi continues this investigation, they remind investors of the approaching deadline on June 3, 2025, for those interested in assuming the role of lead plaintiff. Furthermore, the firm has facilitated a dedicated webpage (www.faruqilaw.com/CGC) where additional information can be accessed. For personalized consultations, investors are encouraged to contact partner Josh Wilson directly at the provided phone numbers.

This ongoing investigation exemplifies the critical importance of transparency in corporate communication, especially in the securities domain. As the situation unfolds, stakeholders will be eager to monitor how Canopy Growth Corporation navigates these allegations and the potential implications for its investors.
