30 Apr, 20:30, Benzinga • DévelopperCannabis stocks traded mostly in the green this week, as we got into earnings season. “While there were a lot of companies reporting earnings, like Turning Point Brands who gave guidance of $422 million for 2021, I thought the biggest piece of data came from Pennsylvania , ” Debra Borchardt, editor-in-chief of Green Market Report, told Benzinga. “The state reported that in one year it had sold over $900 million in medical marijuana. This demonstrates the demand for cannabis in this state and bodes well for any future adult-use legalization. This is also a big number when one considers that the program has only just gotten underway.” And, while Pennsylvania sales surpassed $900 million in one year, Maryland sales finally hit $1 billion, more than three years after the medical cannabis program launched in December of 2017. Meanwhile, the Swiss-American multinational Philip Morris International Inc. (NYSE: PM ), maker of Marlboro cigarettes, said it's considering getting into the cannabis industry.

BARCLAYS: Buy these 30 'cheapened' stocks with high incomes that can beat macro headwinds or rising rates
27 Mar, 09:00, Business Insider • DévelopperSummary List Placement After a tough year, dividend investing is coming back in vogue, as investors look to their stock positions for income, especially right now, as interest rates are so low and returns can often be small. During the coronavirus pandemic, many companies were forced to cut their payouts to shareholders, especially those that are typically higher yielding - like banks - which crippled the value of their shares. But, with economic recovery on the cards and fixed-income assets like government bonds looking less attractive, some of those beaten-down stocks with high dividends - nicknamed "yield stocks" - are well placed to benefit. "We currently OW [overweight] yield as its valuation and high yield look attractive, even if we don't expect it to be a key beneficiary of growth rebound in 2H," Barclays strategists, including Emmanuel Cau, wrote in a note published on Wednesday. "Its cheapness stems somewhat from the market looking expensive rather than yield looking particularly cheap, which could reverse as the market normalizes in the coming 6-12 months," they added.
