The downside could be lowered by Tilray's enthusiastic projections such as reaching positive EBITDA by the fourth quarter, Zuanic said. But the analyst questioned the company’s power to reach positive EBITDA and said that “aggressive guidance leaves room for disappointment.”
Although Cantor expects a better year for licensed producers, Zuanic said the firm still favors Aurora Cannabis Inc (NYSE:ACB) over Tilray.
MKM Partners Pleased With Tilray’s Strategies, Suggests Focus On Europe
Kirk said in a Monday note that he appreciates Tilray’s strategy, specifically moves like reaching the U.S. through Manitoba Harvest; growing in Portugal's advantageous climate; and labor to support its coverage in Europe.
“Tilray valuation is more reasonable (~10x EV/2023 EBITDA) than many peers, but next year’s (FY20) numbers are still too high in our view,” the analyst said.
MKM Partners projects Tilray’s “profitability to come under increasing pressure with new supply coming on,” suggesting the company should focus on making the most of its sales from Europe with product cultivated in Portugal.
Oppenheimer Sees Short-Term Headwinds
Tilray faces many challenges in the short-term, such as “regulatory challenges in the U.S. and ongoing headwinds in the Canadian market,” Oppenheimer’s Rupesh Parikh said in a Monday note.
