Is Tilray Brands a Dirt Cheap Growth Stock or Just a Bad Buy?
Tilray Brands (TLRY 6.59%), one of North America's largest cannabis companies, has seen its stock plummet by 90% since 2022, mirroring broader industry struggles. With a valuation hovering around $600 million, investors remain wary of the cannabis sector. Yet, Tilray's diversification strategy—expanding into craft beer and distribution—positions it as a potential long-term play, albeit with significant risks.
The company's Core cannabis business now contributes just 30% of revenue, while beverages and distribution account for 29% and the remainder, respectively. This shift reflects Tilray's adaptation to stagnant U.S. legalization efforts. The stock's dramatic decline raises questions: Is this a contrarian opportunity or a value trap?
