Tilray Stock Continues To Rally After Hours: Here's Why Its Moving

Pharmaceuticals and cannabis lifestyle company, Tilray Brands Inc. TLRY, rallied 20.87% on Monday and is now showing no signs of slowing down, with another 4.32% gain after hours, as broad-based tailwinds begin to align in the company’s favor.

Research Note And Schedule III Decision

The key catalyst for the rally was Jefferies analyst Kaumil Gajrawala reiterating a “Buy” rating on the stock, while raising the price target from $1.50 per share to $2, representing an upside of 43.88% from current levels.

This comes amid growing reports of marijuana being rescheduled to Schedule III of the Controlled Substances Act by the end of this year. President Donald Trump is expected to finalize the move over the next couple of weeks and is seen as a major catalyst for the industry.

Stock Closes Above $1 For The Ninth Day

The stock is up 98.57% over the past month, up from a 52-week low of $0.32 per share. Just two weeks ago, the company was considering a reverse split to stay compliant with the Nasdaq’s per-share price rule of maintaining a minimum bid price above $1.

However, since its recent rally, the stock has maintained its bid price above $1 for 9 straight days, and is now just 1 day short of regaining compliance.
