Tilray Inc. (NASDAQ: TLRY) is slated to report third quarter 2019 earnings results on Tuesday, November 12, after the market closes. Analysts expect the company to report a loss of $0.30 per share on revenue of $49.5 million. This compares to a loss of $0.20 per share on revenue of $10.05 million reported a year earlier.
The company’s topline results are likely to benefit from the Manitoba Harvest acquisition, the legalization of the Canadian adult-use market and growth in Europe as the momentum from last quarter is likely to continue into the third quarter.
During the quarter, Tilray announced the acquisition of cannabis retail operator 420 Investments Ltd. This deal is expected to help Tilray expand into other Canadian provincial markets. The transaction is expected to close by the end of the first quarter of 2020.
Last month, the company imported medical cannabis into the US from Canada in support of a new clinical trial that will test the efficacy of medical cannabis in treating breast cancer. Updates on these topics are worth watching.
