In this edition of Advisors in Focus: TrackStar Insights, we wanted to showcase the tickers that are seeing increased interest from financial advisors lately. ACB is one name that stands out. No, we’re not talking about Trump’s Supreme Court pick Amy Coney Barrett, the “notorious ACB.” We’re talking about Aurora Cannabis, which trades under the ticker ACB and tumbled 31.6% a week ago after the company’s earnings missed expectations. Shares are down nearly 10% since then, and, as the stock falls to levels not seen in four years, advisors are reading up on the ticker to evaluate whether the stock is a bargain at discounted levels.
Please find below the complete listing of other stocks, exchange traded funds, industry groups, and ETF categories that saw growing interest and increased research activity by financial advisors last week, according to the latest TrackStarIQ data.
