  • Glass House Brands Follows Trulieve in Applying to List on NYSE, Boosting Cannabis Stocks
    June 18, 2026, 5:18 PM EDT. Glass House Brands, a California cannabis company, applied to list on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), becoming the second U.S. cannabis firm after Trulieve. Glass House's stock surged about 5% Thursday and is up 52% year-to-date, while Trulieve rose 5%, up 16% this year. The advisorShares Pure Cannabis ETF advanced 4% Thursday but remains near 90% below its 2021 peak. Glass House plans to 'de-consolidate' its medical and recreational cannabis businesses to meet NYSE listing rules, where recreational sales remain federally restricted. The U.S. DEA will hold hearings from June 29 to July 15 on possibly rescheduling cannabis, a move that could impact listings. Most U.S. cannabis firms currently trade in Canada or over-the-counter. A NYSE listing could attract more institutional and retail investors but risks remain amid regulatory uncertainty.
