<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Comparing JetBlue Airways's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, JetBlue Airways's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 7.44%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.

Trump Says EU Has 20% Value Added Tax, Also Have Other Measures That Hurt U.S. Companies Including Apple; Says Airlines Asking Him To Help With EU Fees; Canada Has Been Tough On Military, Not Paying Enough; Canada Doesn't Have Enough Military Protection

From political maneuvering in Washington to major corporate developments across the global cannabis landscape, this week has been packed with pivotal moments for the industry. In the U.S., Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is doubling down on his opposition to recreational cannabis, predicting that a renewed 2026 ballot initiative will face &#8220;big-time trouble.&#8221;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Politics And Policy: Reform In The Spotlight</h2>
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">DeSantis: Florida Legalization Faces ‘Big-Time Trouble' in 2026</h4>
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has already set his sights on stopping a new recreational cannabis ballot initiative for 2026, after the 2024 measure failed to reach the 60% approval needed. He warned that the initiative will struggle to make it onto the ballot, citing expected legal challenges from the Florida Supreme Court.
Comparing cannabis policy to &#8220;pregnant pig care in the U.S. Constitution,&#8221; DeSantis argued that legalization should be left to lawmakers, not voter referendums. Meanwhile, Florida's medical cannabis industry remains one of the nation's most profitable, making the state a key battleground for reform.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">New York Bill Proposes Full Drug Decriminalization</h4>
New York lawmakers introduced Senate Bill S3600, aiming to eliminate criminal and civil penalties for personal drug possession, shifting policy toward public health. Sponsored by State Senator Gustavo Rivera, the bill would expunge past convictions, prevent penalties for parolees, and replace arrests with fines or treatment referrals.
The proposal follows global models in Portugal and Oregon that have reduced overdoses and incarceration. Critics warn that New York must expand treatment access before decriminalization, but supporters argue it's a necessary step to end ineffective drug criminalization.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Market And Business Developments: Expansion, Earnings And Deals</h2>
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Village Farms Begins Legal Cannabis Sales In The Netherlands</h4>
Village Farms International has officially launched cannabis sales in the Netherlands through its wholly owned subsidiary, Leli Holland. The company completed its first harvest in December and will begin supplying Dutch coffeeshops on February 7.
Leli Holland is one of 10 licensed producers in the country's regulated recreational cannabis program. Village Farms CEO Michael DeGiglio called the Dutch market &#8220;one of the most attractive cannabis investment opportunities globally,&#8221; citing strong demand, a favorable pricing environment, and a zero-tax policy on regulated products. Full-scale operations are expected by Q2 2025.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Aurora Cannabis Reports Record Medical Sales Growth</h4>
Aurora Cannabis posted a 37% revenue increase in Q3 2025, reaching CA$88.2 million, with its global medical cannabis business growing 51%. CEO Miguel Martin highlighted all-time highs in medical sales, net income and free cash flow.
International medical cannabis sales surged in markets like Australia, Germany, Poland and the UK, helping offset a 15% decline in consumer cannabis revenue. The company also saw a 22% increase in plant propagation revenue. Aurora expects further growth next quarter, driven by international expansion and seasonal demand for plant propagation.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Canopy Growth Beats Revenue Expectations Despite Challenges</h4>
Canopy Growth reported Q3 sales of CA$74.76 million, surpassing analyst expectations but reflecting an overall decline from the previous year. Growth in Canada's medical cannabis and international markets offset weaker performance in the consumer sector.
CEO Luc Mongeau pointed to strong medical cannabis sales, Storz &amp; Bickel vaporizer revenue and the launch of Claybourne-infused pre-rolls in Canada as key drivers. Adjusted EBITDA improved significantly year-over-year, but challenges remain as the company navigates shifting consumer demand.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">iAnthus Sells Arizona Assets For $36.5M To Sonoran Roots</h4>
iAnthus Capital Holdings (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ITHUF#OTC">ITHUF</a>) is selling three dispensaries and two processing facilities in Arizona to Sonoran Roots for $36.5 million. The deal includes $20 million in cash and a $16.5 million secured promissory note.
The move aligns with iAnthus' strategy to focus on key markets like Florida, Maryland, New Jersey and New York. CEO Richard Proud said the sale will help the company &#8220;double down on markets where we can deliver the most value to our customers.&#8221; iAnthus will maintain one dispensary in Mesa and continue selling its MPX brand in Arizona.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Tilray Expands Craft Beer Reach with JetBlue Partnership</h4>
Tilray Brands continues its push into the alcohol market with a new partnership placing Montauk Brewing's Surf Beer Golden Ale on all JetBlue flights. The deal marks the first time JetBlue will serve Montauk's flagship beer, giving the cannabis company greater exposure in mainstream beverage distribution.
Tilray has aggressively expanded its beer portfolio through acquisitions of brands like SweetWater, Blue Point and Shock Top. While cannabis remains its core business, CEO Irwin Simon has positioned Tilray's beverage division as a strategic bridge for future cannabis-infused drinks once regulations allow.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Culture And Regulation: Cannabis In Society And Policy Shifts</h2>
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Chilean Lawmaker Fights Mandatory Drug Testing for Officials</h4>
A political storm erupted in Chile's Congress after lawmaker and longtime cannabis advocate Ana María Gazmuri refused to comply with mandatory biannual drug testing for public officials. As a result, she was penalized with a 15% salary reduction, but she remains defiant, calling the policy &#8220;poorly designed, lacking transparency, and infringing on fundamental rights.&#8221;
Gazmuri, a medical cannabis user with a legal prescription, also disclosed her guided use of psilocybin mushrooms but emphasized that her refusal to take the test was about principle, not personal drug use. She argued that if the real goal is uncovering ties between politicians and drug trafficking, financial investigations should take priority.
Right-wing lawmakers have responded by proposing a constitutional amendment that would remove any public official who consumes illegal substances. Gazmuri, however, remains firm in her stance, vowing to continue pushing for broader drug policy reform.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Panama Approves Hemp Law After Years Of Delays</h4>
Panama's long-awaited hemp regulation finally passed after years of bureaucratic delays, clearing the way for industrial hemp production, commercialization and export. The legislation had been stalled under the previous administration but gained momentum with new lawmakers and business sector support.
Advocates argue the new hemp industry could create jobs, attract investment and even help alleviate Panama's struggling social security system. However, the fate of the law now rests with President José Raúl Mulino, who has yet to sign it. If approved, Panama could position itself as a leader in the regional hemp market.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">New York's Cannabis Scene Breaks Into Broadway</h4>
New York cannabis retailer The Travel Agency has made history as the first marijuana business to advertise in Playbill, the iconic magazine of Broadway theater goers. The campaign, which promotes cannabis as a way to &#8220;Experience a Matinee for Your Mind,&#8221; coincides with the company opening a third retail store near Radio City Music Hall.
The Travel Agency has also partnered with Broadway productions like An Axemas Story and launched an online guide featuring cannabis products tailored for theater lovers. Industry insiders see this as a major step in normalizing cannabis within mainstream cultural spaces.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Industry Trends And Market Analysis: Growth, Struggles And The Road Ahead</h2>
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">US Cannabis Growth Slows, Business Failures Rise</h4>
Despite posting its 11th consecutive year of revenue growth, the US legal cannabis industry saw its expansion slow in 2024, with sales increasing just 6% to around $30.5 billion, according to Whitney Economics.
The number of struggling businesses is rising, with nearly 1,000 fewer active cannabis licenses by year's end. A staggering 72.7% of operators reported being unprofitable, with many blaming federal inaction on banking, tax reform, and interstate commerce.
Michigan was a rare bright spot, hitting $3.3 billion in sales, partially fueled by out-of-state buyers. New York also exceeded expectations after regulatory changes, while Florida underperformed due to a slowdown in medical patient registrations. Meanwhile, mature markets like Colorado, Oregon, and Washington saw demand flatten or decline.
Whitney Economics warns that without major policy changes, business failures will continue accelerating in 2025.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Elon Musk Pushes Drug Testing For Federal Employees</h4>
Elon Musk has thrown his support behind a proposal for mandatory, immediate drug testing across the federal workforce, a move that aligns with his broader push to shrink government operations.
The idea, first floated by former National Security Council official Joshua Steinman, was met with Musk's simple endorsement: &#8220;Great idea.&#8220; While federal employees in certain positions already undergo drug screenings, Musk's proposal could drastically expand testing.
Ironically, Musk himself was subjected to random drug tests for a year after smoking cannabis on Joe Rogan's podcast in 2018. He has since spoken openly about using ketamine for depression and has supported psychedelics research.
His latest stance comes as Senator Elizabeth Warren has urged Musk to cut &#8220;wasteful&#8220; spending on cannabis enforcement, a move that could save hundreds of millions annually. Whether Musk will act on that remains to be seen.

This Week In Cannabis: DeSantis' Anti-Weed Push, NY's Drug Decriminalization, Aurora's Record Earnings, Tilray And More Global News

A dangerous winter storm is bringing snow, ice and freezing rain to portions of the Midwest and Northeast on Thursday. 
Another storm is following close behind and is expected to arrive this weekend. Here's a look at the potential impacts of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43108615/southern-power-grids-face-historic-winter-test-as-snow-blankets-gulf">the winter weather. </a>
The Details: A moist air mass collided with cold air across the Midwest, Ohio Valley and Northeast, producing a corridor of sleet and freezing rain on Thursday.
&#8220;A storm sweeping across the central and eastern United States will bring a swath of hazardous freezing rain through Thursday,&#8221; warned AccuWeather Meteorologist Brandon Buckingham.
Blustery winds will enter the region behind the storm with maximum wind gusts of 65 miles per hour Thursday into Friday, <a href="https://www.accuweather.com/en/winter-weather/dangerous-snow-and-ice-storm-to-snarl-travel-across-the-midwest-northeast/1741400">according to</a> AccuWeather.&nbsp;

Forecast: Meteorologists warn that another winter storm will hit many of the same areas affected by Thursday's storm. A mix of snow, ice and rain or thunderstorms will advance from the Central states and head for the East Coast Friday night through Sunday morning.
Stocks To Watch: Observers expect Lowe&#8217;s Companies, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LOW#NYSE">LOW</a>) and Home Depot, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HD#NYSE">HD</a>) stores will have increased traffic as consumers buy salt, shovels and snowblowers to handle the storm. 
Walmart, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>) could also see a bump in sales as shoppers stock up on groceries and other household essentials. 
There is an increased risk of power outages, especially with freezing rain and ice in the forecast. 
Eversource Energy (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ES#NYSE">ES</a>) and Consolidated Edison, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ED#NYSE">ED</a>) are two power companies that operate in the Northeast. Observers would be wise to monitor those stocks in the event of widespread outages. 
Travelers should expect Thursday&#8217;s weather to affect flights through the weekend. JetBlue Airways Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JBLU#NASDAQ">JBLU</a>) has major hubs in New York City and Boston. Delta Air Lines, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAL#NYSE">DAL</a>) is also on watch as the air carrier operates all ten of the busiest US routes from Boston Logan International Airport.

Snow, Ice Blast Many US States Thursday With Another Winter Storm Expected This Weekend

Tilray Brands Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TLRY#NASDAQ">TLRY</a>) is deepening its bet on the beverage alcohol sector, this time through a high-profile partnership with JetBlue Airways (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JBLU#NASDAQ">JBLU</a>). The collaboration, announced earlier this week, places Montauk Brewing Company&#8217;s Surf Beer Golden Ale on all domestic and international JetBlue flights, marking a major step in Tilray's mainstream beer distribution strategy.
JetBlue passengers can now enjoy Montauk&#8217;s easy-drinking golden ale while cruising at 30,000 feet, a move that further integrates Tilray's growing craft beer empire into everyday consumer experiences. The airline is the first to feature Montauk's beer, offering travelers a sip of the brand's signature coastal lifestyle.
&#8220;We are proud and excited that JetBlue selected our Montauk Surf Beer Golden Ale to offer to travelers worldwide,&#8221; said Montauk Brewing co-founder Vaughan Cutillo. &#8220;This selection represents not just a beverage but the embodiment of relaxation and joy that Montauk Brewing stands for. We hope that every sip taken at 30,000 feet connects our consumers to the carefree spirit of Montauk and the adventurous journey ahead.&#8221;
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">A Cannabis Company&#8217;s Expansion Into Craft Beer</h3>
While best known for its cannabis business, Tilray has aggressively expanded into the alcoholic beverage industry, establishing itself as a significant player in craft beer. Through strategic acquisitions of well-known brands, Tilray has built a diverse portfolio that includes Montauk Brewing, SweetWater Brewing, Breckenridge Brewery, Blue Point Brewing and several others.
In 2024 alone, Tilray acquired four craft breweries from Molson Coors (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TAP#NYSE">TAP</a>), adding Hop Valley Brewing (Oregon), Terrapin Beer Co. (Georgia), Revolver Brewing (Texas) and Atwater Brewery (Michigan) to its roster. This followed a deal with Anheuser-Busch InBev (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BUD#NYSE">BUD</a>) that saw Tilray take over eight beer brands, including Shock Top, Redhook Brewery and Widmer Brothers Brewing.
The JetBlue deal represents more than just an airline partnership, it signals Tilray's continued push into mainstream beverage distribution. By securing an inflight placement with a major U.S. airline, Tilray is further embedding its beer brands into everyday consumer interactions, mirroring strategies employed by major beverage conglomerates to drive visibility and sales.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Beer And Cannabis: Tilray's Long-Term Play</h3>
Tilray&#8217;s foray into alcohol is not just about immediate revenue, it&#8217;s a long-term strategy that could position the company advantageously for the future of cannabis-infused beverages. With cannabis still federally illegal in the U.S., Tilray has leveraged its beer acquisitions as a way to build brand familiarity, consumer trust, and distribution networks ahead of potential regulatory changes.
CEO Irwin Simon has previously spoken about the company's intent to dominate the cannabis lifestyle space, integrating cannabis with complementary sectors like alcohol and wellness. If cannabis-infused beverages eventually gain regulatory approval, Tilray would be well-positioned with its existing brewery network to capitalize on the opportunity.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">A Win For JetBlue?</h3>
For JetBlue, the partnership aligns with its strategy of offering unique, high-quality inflight experiences. The airline has long prioritized differentiation through onboard perks, such as free Wi-Fi and generous legroom, and the addition of a well-regarded craft beer fits that mold. JetBlue has also been steadily enhancing its beverage offerings to cater to a younger, more experience-driven consumer base, making Montauk Brewing a natural fit.
With this latest move, Tilray continues to push its beverage division into high-visibility channels, further solidifying its commitment to alcohol as a key component of its business model. Whether this is a stepping stone to broader partnerships or a precursor to cannabis-infused beverages, one thing is clear—Tilray is betting big on beer.
