Tilray extends rally on Trump weed reform talks

Tilray is up nearly double digits on Tuesday as of 10:18 a.m. ET, extending a rally fueled by a report that President Trump is considering weed reform.

The stock is in the midst of what would be its best two-day rally since February 2021, which came after a boom in retail trader interest also prompted by expectations for marijuana reform after Democrats took control of Congress and as Tilray signed a deal to distribute cannabis products in the UK.

The Wall Street Journal reported on Friday that President Trump is “considering” reclassifying marijuana as a less dangerous drug, a move that could take away some of the hurdles between ailing weed companies and profitability. Trump told reporters on Monday that he would make a decision in the coming weeks.

Tilray, which is based in Canada, does not currently sell pot in the US, so it would not immediately benefit from the regulatory changes.

SpaceX gets a wave of bullish ratings from Wall Street analysts

SpaceX received more than a dozen positive analyst calls on Tuesday — including from major Wall Street banks — as they initiate coverage on Elon Musk’s space and AI company.

SpaceX went public on June 12 at a $2.2 trillion valuation, the largest debut in history. While the company hasn’t yet posted a profit, it seems to have convinced Wall Street that it will get there and grow its valuation on the way.

Of the at least 17 analysts that gave a rating on Tuesday, all but one gave it a “buy” or “outperform” rating. MoffettNathanson was "neutral."

The ratings come as SpaceX joined the Nasdaq 100 index, a benchmark tech-heavy basket of companies that underpins millions of portfolios. The inclusion adds built-in demand for the stock from index funds and ETFs.

Still, SpaceX fell more than 5% on Tuesday amid a broader sell-off, and is currently effectively flat from its opening price of $150 a share.
