Canopy Growth’s recent operational adjustments are going to provide huge benefits

The cannabis company’s strategic shifts are seen as major improvements in its outlook

Canopy Growth Inc. once started to grow too much too soon, which created several rooted problems within its operations. That’s exactly why CEO David Klein was brought to the scene, to right the ship for one of the leading cannabis ventures, from both an operational and financial point of view. Even though the company presented a staggering fourth-quarter loss of almost $1 billion, the company seems to have a solid strategy ahead, and it is sure that the adjustments made will bring many more benefits to the operation.

Canopy certainly tried to be too many things to too many people, which resulted in a lack of clear direction. Basically, what Klein came to do is to simplify the goal of the company. Based on the recent conference call after presenting the results, the future looks bright for the company. Klein spoke with details about the troubles and successes of the company’s performance. “Our Q4 performance was mixed,” Klein said. “Our top-line performance didn’t meet our expectations, and we lost market share in the Canadian recreational market.”

Canopy Growth’s controlling shareholder, Constellation Brands, didn’t waste much time addressing the company’s weaknesses after recognizing its potential. “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,” said Klein after Canopy’s May 29 earnings release. “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 realigning our organization to be faster and more agile.”

Canada’s market will certainly get better, so there is a lot to look forward to in that market. Also, the fact that Canopy is moving its focus more to vapes, edibles, drinks and other products rather than dried flower, can bring enormous growth in the near future.
