What happened in Q4 for Organigram?
Shares of Organigram stock jumped 12.5% after the company released better-than-expected financial results. This sent Organigram stock price to about $2.70 as of writing. The company reported a 22% quarter-over-quarter increase in net income. It now has a market share of 7% of the recreational cannabis market, up from 5.4% the quarter before.
Furthermore, management remained confident that further growth is imminent. This comes from a variety of factors, but the most important remained new products and shipments.

What did Organigram management say?
Chief Executive Officer Beena Goldberg stated in the report these results show the strong momentum Organigram stock continues to offer. Not only did the company increase its sales, it also increased its efficiencies, dropping the cost per gram to produce their cannabis. The company continues to work in this area to create cost efficiencies to improve its gross margin profile. Goldberg said the following:
“We are excited for what Fiscal 2022 holds for Organigram. Looking ahead, we expect to continue our momentum as we maintain our focus on increased points of distribution, bringing new, impactful and innovative products such as Edison Jolts, SHRED and SHRED’ems to market, and improve our ability to fulfill the growing demand for our products.”
What’s next for Organigram stock?
Organigram stock continues to climb on the momentum of a new executive team. Analysts believe this transitional phase of new leadership, including the new CEO, will create new strategic changes. While exciting, especially as it now holds the fourth-highest market share in the country, there are still issues to be solved.
One, of course, is the adjusted EBITDA loss. While it beat estimates, this remains a negative that Goldberg and her team will need to address. But as Organigram stock continues to prove it’s on the path to profitability, this could be one of the few cannabis stocks that climbs rather than crashes in 2022.
Shares of Organigram stock are up 25% year to date compared to 18% on the TSX. Shares trade at $2.70 as of writing.
