On March 22, Sundial Growers Inc. (SNDL) remained bullish throughout the day with gains extending to the after-hours session.

Why is SNDL Bullish Before Earnings?
As there is no news from the company other than its upcoming earnings, the stock seems to be gaining on external factors. It seems social media chatter over an expected-beat earnings report is causing the stock’s recent bullishness. Investors and experts alike are expecting good things from the company. Some of the reasons and expectations include a beat earnings report, Alcanna acquisition, and growth boost related to it.
In the previous quarter, the company reported positive earnings while the cannabis market suffered immensely. SNDL’s track record along with the previous acquisition of Spiritleaf is expected to result in over 25% YOY revenue growth for Q4 2021. Moreover, the much-awaited Alcanna acquisition is also expected to close by the end of March 2022, as announced recently. Given that Alcanna is the majority shareholder of Nova Cannabis, SNDL is up for a growth spurt. Thus, with so much happening, the stock seems to have a bullish sentiment and is so far taking good advantage of it.
Company News

Being in non-compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum bid price requirement, the company was supposed to regain compliance by February 7, 2022. Unable to regain compliance, SNDL requested an extension and therefore, the company now has until August 8, 2022, to regain compliance.
