Market Insights Snapshot
Dark Star operated as a single-category brand in July 2026, with Edible accounting for 100.0% of sales and a 717.36% year-over-year increase alongside a -13.87% month-over-month decline. The brand’s average price fell 17.41% YoY to $12.90, while overall brand sales rose 406.01% YoY and 1,065.45% over 24 months, indicating that volume expansion, not pricing, drove the scale-up. In New York Edibles, the brand held rank 34, pairing that position with a triple-digit YoY gain and a double-digit MoM dip, which together imply a volatile but expanding foothold concentrated entirely in Edibles.
The mix concentration at 100.0% in Edibles and a rank of 34 in New York suggest positioning as a focused Edibles specialist rather than a portfolio diversifier, with the 717.36% YoY surge counterbalanced by a -13.87% MoM pullback that points to sensitivity to monthly demand or promotional cycles. The 17.41% YoY price decline combined with a 406.01% YoY sales lift implies a value-led, volume-accretive stance, and the 1,065.45% 24-month expansion indicates the strategy has been scaled over time; together these dynamics imply Dark Star is trading rank for reach and could unlock further rank gains by stabilizing MoM volatility within Edibles before considering adjacency expansion.
Competitive Landscape
Dark Star sits at rank #34 in NY Edible for July 2026, a 57-spot climb from #91 year over year, while slipping 3 positions from #31 in April 2026 to #34 in July 2026; by contrast, Camino edged up from #2 to #1 and Off Hours moved down from #1 to #2 alongside a -10.4% year-over-year sales change, indicating Dark Star’s YoY surge is outpacing top-tier churn even as its quarter-to-date rank eased. The combination of a peak at #31 in April 2026 and a current position of #34 in July 2026—paired with competitors like Wyld holding steady at #3 and Gron / Grön remaining at #4—implies Dark Star has broken into the middle tier and is stabilizing just below its recent peak, signaling runway for incremental share capture if it converts the broad YoY momentum into sustained monthly retention.
Notable Products
CBD/CBG/THC 1:1:1 Blackjack Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Bar 10-Pack (100mg CBD, 100mg CBG, 100mg THC) delivered the sharpest movement in July 2026 with a +72.6% month-over-month surge while sitting at rank 4, contrasting with Anytime - CBG/THC 1:2 Cookies & Cream White Chocolate Bullet Bar (50mg CBG, 100mg THC) at rank 1 falling -16.5%. The CBG/THC 2:1 Daytime Milk Chocolate Toffee Bullet Bar (50mg CBG, 100mg THC) dropped -23.7% to rank 2 as the THC/CBN 2:1 Night Time Plain Dark Bullet Bar Chocolate (100mg THC, 50mg CBN) held rank 3 with a marginal +0.3%, and four of the top five are Edible SKUs pointing to a category concentration. With the leader down -16.5% and the number two down -23.7% despite one multi-cannabinoid 10-pack posting +72.6% from a $1,586 base, the mix implies Dark Star is pivoting toward diversified cannabinoid formats rather than relying on legacy CBG/THC 1:2 and 2:1 pillars.
