Tilray Brands (TSX: TLRY) reported a staggering Q4 2025 net loss of $1.27 billion, a massive decline compared to Q4 2024’s loss of just $15.4 million. Earnings per share also dramatically fell to a loss of $1.30, missing analyst estimates of just a $0.03 loss per share, an overwhelming 4,233% miss.
Following the news, Tilray shares fell nearly 15% in pre-market trading on the NASDAQ.
The cannabis firm’s revenue was $224.5 million for the quarter, slightly below the anticipated $233.29 million and marking a 2% decline YoY from $229.9 million. The revenue miss was primarily driven by setbacks in the cannabis and beverage segments. Cannabis revenue decreased to $67.8 million from $71.9 million last year, impacted by temporary halts in certain product lines and delays in international medical cannabis permits. Beverage revenue fell notably to $65.6 million from $76.7 million YoY, attributed to restructuring initiatives under “Project 420” and rationalization of product lines.
