Stock Performance

Tilray Brands (TLRY) stock closed trading on Tuesday, January 8, 2024, 9.8291% lower at $2.11 per share. That was despite the positive earnings report. After the recent performance, TLRY stock is down 24.37% in the past 12 months.

Why TLRY Stock Dropped

While Tilray Brands numbers appear positive at first glance, a closer look reveals that there might be trouble. Its gross profit margins fell by 12 points to 31% for the cannabis segment and by 13 points for the beer segment to 34%. Additionally, its distribution margins were also down 2 points to 11%.

Additionally, the company reported an adjusted net loss of $0.0. However, it still reported an adjusted net loss of $2.7 million. Another noteworthy figure is the GAAP EPS, which stood at $0.07 per share.

Tilray Brands’ Guidance

The outlook section may also have caused concern among investors. For instance, management stated that it expected FY24 to end with an EBITDA of $68-78 million. That would be a growth rate of 11%-27%. However, they failed to provide estimates for sales growth or margins. Additionally, management did not make promises on actual GAAP profits. Another noteworthy point is that even the promised EBITDA growth of 27% would be slower than the Q2 results.

However, management said they expected to generate positive adjusted free cash flow in 2024. On the downside, the company already burned through $56.2 million in Q2. That is twice the rate at which they burned through cash in Q223.

Two analysts give TLRY stock a buy rating. Their highest forecast is $2.50, and the lowest is $2.0. The average forecast for the stock is $2.25, a 6.64% upside based on the Tuesday closing price of $2.11.
