Traders and investors told us they would invest in Tilray. Shares of the Toronto, Canada-based cannabis company are trading sharply higher after reporting second-quarter earnings

Tilray reported quarterly earnings of 18 cents per share, which is a 146% percent increase over losses of a loss of 39 cents per share from the same period last year. The company also reported $142.24 million in sales this quarter, which represents a 25% percent increase over sales of $113.54 million in the same period last year.

About 25% of respondents said they’d invest in Sundial Growers. The Calgary, Canada-based cannabis producer and marketer has, like many small- and mid-cap cannabis stocks, been a favorite pick among retail investors in 2021. 

Respondents viewed Altria and Aurora Cannabis with less enthusiasm.

Altria shares are trading 17% higher year-to-date at $47.79. Aurora Cannabis shares are trading down 28% year-to-date at $6.84.

Canopy Growth received 11.1% of support. The stock is trading well off its 52-week high of $56.50, at $18.37.

This survey was conducted by Benzinga in July 2021 and included the responses of a diverse population of adults 18 or older.

Opting into the survey was completely voluntary, with no incentives offered to potential respondents. The study reflects results from over 2,000 adults.
