      What is Happening with CAN?

      On March 14, CAN plunged down to a new low of $3.10 due to proposed regulations on the crypto mining sector. Following the new low, the stock rebounded the next day as investors began to buy the dip. The bullish trend was then supported and continued by the company’s announcement of a $100 million share buy-back plan and company updates on March 16. Thus, the stock continued to gain on the news till March 23. The stock being long due for corrections, finally succumbed to it and has since continued the downfall into today’s premarket.

      So far 2022 has proven very lucky and fruitful for CAN as it stands on a year-to-date gain of 25.24%. Comparatively, the stock suffered a decline of 62.93% in the past year.
