What's Going On With Tilray Brands Stock Tuesday?

Shares of Tilray Brands Inc (NASDAQ:TLRY) are trading lower Tuesday morning, giving back a portion of the previous session’s explosive gains. The stock is experiencing a correction after surging over 35% on Monday, a rally ignited by a weekend social media post from President Donald Trump.

What To Know: The sector-wide buying frenzy was triggered after Trump shared a video on Truth Social advocating for the medical benefits of CBD for seniors and suggesting potential Medicare coverage. This sparked investor optimism for a more favorable federal regulatory environment for cannabis.

Tilray, a global cannabis-lifestyle and consumer packaged goods company, benefited significantly from the speculative interest. Beyond its foundational cannabis operations, the company has diversified into the U.S. market with a growing portfolio of craft beer and beverage brands. Tuesday's pullback suggests investors are taking profits as the market weighs the uncertain path of cannabis reform.
