Canopy Growth Stock (TSE:WEED)(NYSE:CGC): Ignore FQ4 And Focus On The Future

If the COVID-19 pandemic taught investors anything, it's ignore the past and focus on the future. That's why it's so perplexing that cannabis investors dumped Canopy Growth Stock (TSE:WEED)(NYSE:CGC) after FQ4 results. The quarter was the first one under new CEO David Klein. It's not fair to judge him based on what was put in place prior to his arrival. Taking a closer look, there's a lot to like with Canopy Growth stock at current levels.In looking at Canopy Growth stock chart, there's trendline support at $15 and trendline resistance at $21. We believe the $15 level will hold and cannabis investors can buy dips off that support zone. A move above $21 opens the door for a move to $25 and above there a move to $30. With 21% of the float short, a move to $30 can happen much faster than investors realize. Canopy Growth Stock Daily Chart

FQ4 Earnings Analysis

While the stock sold off, digging deeper and there's a lot to like. First, CGC got rid of whatever write-downs they needed to do, next earnings report will be much better. Second, CGC debt still under control, but the cash burn seems overdone. As we are aware, the new CEO was CFO at Constellation Brands (NYSE:STZ) before moving to CGC so cost control is in his nature. As CEO David Klein pointed out:

"I am excited to implement our strategy reset and organization redesign over the course of fiscal 2021. We have a renewed strategic focus and a clear change agenda that is already underway. We are building what we believe is the best cannabis company in the world by putting the consumer at the heart of everything we do and are re-aligning our organization to be faster and more agile."

Bottom line is that Klein has to clean up Linton's mess. Better days are ahead. Klein ripped the bandage off and got all the bad news out in this quarter.
