Tilray whipsaws after mixed earnings report

Tilray dipped initially before gaining back most of its losses in postmarket trading after reporting mixed second-quarter earnings.

The Canadian cannabis company reported adjusted earnings per share of $0.02, compared to the $0.02 loss per share analysts polled by FactSet were expecting. Tilray also reported $224.5 million in revenue, less than the $232.2 million analysts expected.

The company has been increasingly selling more booze than cannabis and has continued to struggle to post sufficient revenue growth to push it to profitability.

The companys revenue miss was in large part because of fewer sales than expected of alcoholic beverages like its Montauk beers. The company reported $65.6 million in sales for that segment for the quarter, while anlaysts were penciling in $99.5 million.

Tilray initially fell about 4% in after-hours trading.

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.
