Shares of Tilray Brands Inc (NASDAQ:TLRY) are trading lower Tuesday morning after the global cannabis and consumer goods company reported fourth-quarter revenue that fell short of analyst expectations. Here’s what investors need to know.
What To Know: For the fiscal fourth quarter ended May 31, Tilray announced total revenue of $224.53 million. This figure represents a roughly 2% decrease year-over-year and missed the consensus analyst estimate of $250.41 million.
The revenue shortfall was primarily driven by declines in the company’s core cannabis and beverage alcohol segments. Cannabis revenue dropped to $67.8 million from $71.9 million in the prior-year quarter, a move the company attributed to a strategic pause on certain product lines to improve profitability and delays in international permits. Beverage revenue also saw a significant decline to $65.6 million, down from $76.7 million.
However, the company did post an unexpected adjusted profit of two cents per share, beating analyst estimates that had projected a loss of three cents per share. Tilray’s Distribution and Wellness segments showed growth, with revenues increasing to $74.1 million and $17.0 million, respectively.
Looking forward, Tilray provided optimistic guidance for fiscal year 2026, projecting adjusted EBITDA between $62 million and $72 million, which would signify growth of 13% to 31%. The company highlighted its strong liquidity, ending the fiscal year with $256 million in cash and marketable securities.
Benzinga Edge Rankings: According to Benzinga Edge stock rankings, Tilray presents the profile of a potential value play. The stock scores very low on Momentum at 6.10 and Growth at 21.80.
In stark contrast, it boasts a strong Value score of 81.18, suggesting the stock may be undervalued based on its fundamental metrics despite its lagging performance.
Price Action: According to data from Benzinga Pro, TLRY shares are trading lower by 12.3% to 61 cents Tuesday morning. The stock has a 52-week high of $2.15 and a 52-week low of 35 cents.
