Tilray's 15% stock price bump today makes zero sense. Meanwhile, Alliance Global Partners cut its price target on Tilray Brands (TLRY 16.
55%) stock by 25% this morning, from $1 to just $0 (which is quite significant). 75 per, as The Fly just reported. You'd bably expect news that to have an impact on the stock, and it did.
Furthermore, However, But perhaps not the effect that you think, given the current landscape. As of 2:05 p. ET Tuesday, Tilray stock is up 15.

Additionally, What Alliance Global said Tilray Investors' reaction to Alliance Global cutting its price target doesn't make a whole lot of sense (to say the least) (which is quite significant).
According to the analyst, Tilray is experiencing "softness" in international sales of cannabis, and in its alcohol sales as well (this bears monitoring).
Additionally, (Best known as a marijuana stock, Tilray actually gets 25% of its revenue -- and 40% of its gross fit -- from the sale of alcoholic beverages.
) This's leading Alliance Global's analysts to cut their forecasts for Tilray's earnings this year, and to cut their price target as well.
However, Tilray stock does, fortunately, cost only a couple of pennies more than the new price target, however, and so Alliance Global gives the stock a neutral rating. Is Tilray stock a buy.
Even "neutral" may be generous, however (noteworthy indeed) (this bears monitoring), considering recent developments.
Tilray hasn't earned a fit since 2018, back when marijuana stocks were still among momentum traders, in today's financial world. It hasn't generated positive free cash flow (FCF), well, ever.
Even optimistic stock market analysts don't see the company turning fitable before 2029 at the earliest, although forecasts do call for positive free cash flow in 2026, given current economic conditions.
Personally, though, given the company's track record I'm going to have to see that happen to believe it. Moreover, If Tilray does report positive FCF next year, I'll be happy to reconsider the stock.
For the time being, however, I can only call Tilray stock a sell.
