Apart from the legalization of cannabis and potential federal rescheduling of cannabis, Aphria has other key catalysts that can help APHA stock to move ahead in the near term. The main catalyst would be the rise in exports.
Assuming the potential of Aphria, among 9 Wall Street analysts, 7 analysts rate the stock as a buy. While 2 of them rate it as a hold. The estimated 12-month average price for APHA is $10.26, forecasting the stock to have a potential upside of almost 42%.

However, the retail sales trend improved during the third quarter of 2020. Zuanic said that the sales trend was stronger compared to other Canadian licensed producers. Still, the stock has not been able to satisfy its investors with its slow-movingrevenue growth and cash burn.
