It delivered much better than expected financial results on the quarter – net revenue advanced by 20%, helping the company turn a profit. As a result, Tilray’s stock price jumped on the news, ending the trading day higher by +13.55%.

Q2 FY2022 highlights

The first thing that strikes the eye is the jump in net revenue. The cannabis industry has some promising CAGR rates for the years ahead, but players in the industry had a hard time capitalizing on the industry’s growth.

Besides the sharp increase in net revenue, Tilray announced that it reached $70 million in cost synergies. Moreover, it became the leading medical cannabis company in Europe, with a market share of about 20% in Europe’s largest economy – Germany.

Tilray’s stock price remains in a bearish trend

While the financial performance for the quarter triggered a sharp move higher, Tilray’s stock price remains depressed. The technical picture reveals a bearish trend, with $10 acting as a pivotal level.

Yesterday’s bounce is barely visible, as the price action remains close to the lower edge of the downward channel. Aggressive traders may want to go long against the lows, while conservative ones may want to wait for the price to break above $10 and above the upper edge of the channel before going long.
