Why Curaleaf Stock Sparked Investors' Portfolios on Friday

This was the case on Friday for marijuana company Curaleaf Holdings (OTC: CURLF), whose stock was up by nearly 4% late in the trading session. Curaleaf announced that morning that it has been granted permission by Connecticut's Department of Consumer Protection to launch recreational sales at its Stamford dispensary on Saturday. This is the first Connecticut dispensary owned by the multi-state operator (MSO), which is headquartered in neighboring Massachusetts, to be given that nod.
