The investigation follows Canopy Growth’s release of its third-quarter financial results for fiscal year 2025 on February 7, 2025.
Canopy Growth’s Third-Quarter Financial Results
Canopy Growth reported a net loss of $1.23 billion for the third quarter, significantly larger than the net loss of $375.4 million in the same period the previous year.
