On Monday, Aurora Cannabis (NYSE:ACB) became the first big Canadian marijuana grower to report results for the quarter ending Dec. 31, 2018. As you would probably expect, Aurora's sales soared with the quarter including 11 weeks of recreational marijuana sales in Canada.
There has been a lot of analysis over the last couple of days about what Aurora's fiscal second-quarter results meant for the company. But I think there's something else to consider: what Aurora's Q2 update might mean for others in the marijuana industry.
The biggest marijuana producer in the world by market cap, Canopy Growth (NYSE:CGC), reports its fiscal Q3 results (which also ended on Dec. 31, 2018) after the market closes on Thursday. Here's what Aurora Cannabis' Q2 update could mean for Canopy.

Kinder Morgan is a prominent name in the midstream space, so it's easy to see why investors would be interested in Kinder Morgan Canada Ltd (NASDAQOTH:KMLGF). That's especially true after a recent timely move to get out from under a troubled pipeline project. However, there's a wrinkle in this the story because of the Canadian company's relationship with U.S.-based Kinder Morgan, Inc. (NYSE:KMI). Here's why most investors would be better off with TransCanada Corporation (NYSE:TRP) today.

But the story isn't over. TC Pipelines's units remain down nearly 40% so far this year -- and that's not just bad for unitholders, it's also bad for the partnership's general partner and parent TransCanada Corporation (NYSE:TRP). TC Pipelines is, after all, effectively a funding source for TransCanada.

ConocoPhillips (NYSE:COP) worked hard to turn its business around during the oil market downturn.

That result marked a significant improvement from the loss it had posted in the previous year.
