Canadian cannabis titan Tilray Inc. fell for a third straight day, surrendering much of a rally posted earlier this week after earnings that were buoyed by acquisitions and a rebranding -- moves aimed at strengthening its global reach in the face of stiff competition at home.
Canada’s marijuana-market leader still rose about 7% this week, thanks to a 14% surge on Monday, when it reported better-than-expected results and said it was repositioning itself as a global consumer packaged-goods “powerhouse.” Demand for its cannabis brands, craft beer and hemp products boosted profits, the company said.
