Market Insights Snapshot
Preferred Gardens concentrated 80.53% of September 2026 sales in Flower, where sales slipped 4.20% year over year and 11.41% month over month, while Vapor Pens climbed to a 12.33% share on 338.86% YoY growth and a 53.62% MoM increase. Pre-Roll held 6.70% share with a 27.08% YoY decline but a 20.31% MoM uptick, and Edible remained a 0.44% niche despite an 82.93% MoM rise alongside a 34.75% YoY drop. With an average price up 17.47% YoY to $34.10 and Flower’s average price at $40.45, the mix is tilting toward higher-priced inhalables even as Flower volume softens. In New York Flower, the brand sat at rank 36; the pattern implies near-term reliance on a single category is loosening as Vapor Pens absorbs share and cushions Flower’s contraction.
The shift—Flower share down to 80.53% as Vapor Pens expands to 12.33% with a 53.62% MoM surge—suggests Preferred Gardens is repositioning toward a two-pillar inhalables model that can balance Flower’s 11.41% MoM decline with pen-led acquisition. Pre-Roll’s 20.31% MoM recovery against a 27.08% YoY drop and Edible’s 82.93% MoM pop from a 0.44% base indicate tactical breadth without material share risk, while the 17.47% YoY increase in average price pairs with Vapor Pens’ $41.47 average to support premium mix without overexposure to one format. Holding rank 36 in New York Flower while Flower YoY is down 4.20% implies gains will be more efficiently captured by accelerating Vapor Pens and stabilizing Pre-Roll, using September 2026’s mix change to reduce volatility and elevate price-realization.
Competitive Landscape
Preferred Gardens sits at rank #36 in NY Flower in September 2026, slipping 3 positions year over year from #33 and down 2 spots from June 2026’s #34, while still 11 places below its peak #25 from August 2025; in contrast, Find. climbed from #5 to #1 and Grassroots moved from #15 to #2, signaling category momentum concentrating at the top even as Preferred Gardens’ relative placement declines by 9% versus its peak and by 6% versus its 3‑month position. This divergence—competitors advancing multiple rank tiers while Preferred Gardens gives up 2–3 ranks—implies that without an intervention to regain share, the brand’s trajectory points toward continued mid‑pack drift rather than reversion toward its August 2025 peak.
Notable Products
Blue Caviar (3.5g) posted the steepest decline in September 2026 with a -30.5% MoM drop and slipped to rank 4, while Blue Dream (3.5g) fell -14.0% MoM at rank 3, signaling pressure on previously higher-velocity SKUs. In contrast, Twin (3.5g) gained +8.2% MoM at rank 5 and Side Banger (3.5g) rose +7.8% MoM at rank 7, but these lifts did not offset the double-digit declines among other flagship Flower items. With eight of the top ten SKUs in Flower and only two Pre-Rolls in ranks 1 and 10, the mix is concentrated in Flower despite volatility, implying Preferred Gardens is leaning into breadth within Flower while tolerating churn among individual strains to defend rank positions and revenue depth.

Data for this report comes from real-time sales reporting by participating cannabis retailers via their point-of-sale systems, which are linked up with Headset’s business intelligence software. Headset’s data is very reliable, as it comes digitally direct from our partner retailers. However, the potential does exist for misreporting in the instance of duplicates, incorrectly classified products, inaccurate entry of products into point-of-sale systems, or even simple human error at the point of purchase. Thus, there is a slight margin of error to consider. Brands listed on this page are ranked in the top twenty within the market and product category by total retail sales volume.
