Now what
With a large global geographic footprint, industry-leading operational scale, and low-cost production facilities, Tilray is poised to compete and win in the rapidly expanding cannabis market. Better still, management expects to wring out roughly $81 million in annual expenses, which should help to bolster the company’s profitability. Tilray, in turn, appears set to generate strong increases in sales and profits — and, by extension, additional gains for its investors — in the coming years.
