Curaleaf Holdings has been added to the S&P/TSX Composite Index, making it the only cannabis company currently included in Canada’s benchmark equity index.
The move, effective September 22, positions the company among the highest-capitalized and most actively traded stocks on the Toronto Stock Exchange.
As the first U.S.-based marijuana operator to join the index, Curaleaf’s inclusion represents a milestone for the industry, broadening access to North American capital markets and increasing exposure to institutional investors. The company, which trades on the TSX under the symbol CURA and on the OTCQX under CURLF, said the recognition underscores the sector’s growing legitimacy within mainstream finance.
“This marks a pivotal moment for Curaleaf and represents a significant moment for mainstream normalization across the broader cannabis industry,” said Boris Jordan, Curaleaf’s chairman and CEO. “Being recognized among some of the most influential stocks in North America, and as the only U.S.-based cannabis operator currently in this index, validates our sector’s growing legitimacy and long-term potential.”
Curaleaf operates internationally, offering products under brands such as Select, Grassroots, Find, Anthem and The Hemp Company. The company’s supply chain spans cultivation, extraction and retail, with a growing presence across Europe, Canada and Australasia.
With the addition to the S&P/TSX Composite Index, Curaleaf stands to benefit from greater visibility and expanded access to index-linked investment vehicles, strengthening its financial position as the cannabis sector continues to evolve.
