Green Growth Brands Launches Bid for Aphria Inc.: Bloomberg

Bloomberg reports that cannabis retailer Green Growth Brands Inc. is looking to buy Canada-based Aphria Inc. for about $1.8 billion, less than a month after the Canadian company rejected the bid.

Green Growth hasn't changed its terms since the first bid in December offering 1.57 Green Growth shares per Aphria share. “The combination of Aphria’s Canadian supply and wholesale agreements with Green Growth’s vertically integrated operations and rapidly growing retail footprint in the United States best positions us to capitalize on the massive growth opportunities in North America and beyond,” Peter Horvath, chief executive officer of Green Growth said in a statement Tuesday. However, in a statement late Tuesday, Aphria urged shareholders to take no action until the board makes a formal recommendation.

Industry description

A generic drug contains the same chemical substance as a drug that was originally protected by patents. Generic drugs are generally sold at cheaper price points, compared to name-brand pharmaceuticals, after patents for the more expensive drugs lapse. The generic drug industry has created a major market, thanks to the lower pricing. According to the Center for Justice and Democracy at New York Law School, 80 percent of all drugs prescribed are generic, and generic drugs are chosen 94 percent of the time when they are available. But their manufacturers must be able to prove to the FDA that they can be effective substitutes for the original drugs. Some of the major generic drug makers include Zoetis, Inc., Allergan plc and Mylan N.V.

AtlasClear Holdings (ATCH) shares fell roughly 25.5% over the last 30 days, declining from $0.1881 on October 2 to $0.1401 on October 30. The pullback extended a longer downtrend that has kept the stock trading well below the $1.00 NYSE American minimum, keeping continued listing-compliance risk in focus.
Nebius Group N.V. is expected to report third-quarter 2026 results in early November, following a second quarter in which revenue surged 454% year over year. Wall Street consensus tracked by Benzinga points to roughly $937 million in Q3 2026 revenue, up from $146.1 million in the year-ago quarter.
The $1.14 central target is not an analyst consensus; it is the all-cash merger consideration in GoPro, Inc. (GPRO) 's pending deal with Starman Optical, agreed in September 2026. With the stock trading near $0.88, reaching $1.14 would require a move of roughly 29.5%.
NVDA fell -2.10% to $216.66 during regular trading, down from a prior close of $221.30. Primary catalyst: hotter-than-expected September CPI data reignited Fed rate-hike fears, raising borrowing costs for AI infrastructure buildouts.
The central target of $1,620 is the arithmetic mean of verified, current analyst price targets, rounded to a clean level; it is not a single firm's forecast or a guarantee. At a recent price of about $690 , reaching $1,620 would require a gain of roughly 135% , a very large move by any standard.
