The company's record quarter has investors feeling good

Growing sales 3% year-over-year, Tilray reported $218 million in revenue for Q2 2026, a company record. Analysts had anticipated Tilray reporting $211.15 million on the top line.

Investors are also celebrating the company's progress toward profitability. In Q2 2026, Tilray reported a diluted earnings per share (EPS) of negative $0.41 -- a slimmer loss than the diluted EPS of negative $0.99 that it incurred during the same period last year.

A strong quarter suggests a green light for Tilray stock

From its strong year-over-year revenue growth to a slimmer net loss to a smaller operating cash outflow, there are several signs indicating that Tilray performed well in Q2 2026. While the company is still unprofitable, its strong balance sheet, which features a net cash position of $27.4 million, provides some reassurance that the company's not suffering from poor financial health. For investors interested in growing their cannabis exposure, Tilray stock is definitely worth a closer look right now.
