Share Price
On Tuesday, TILRAY had a tremendous surge in its stock prices. It opened at $2.4 and closed at $3.0, soaring by a whopping 36.0% from previous closing price of 2.2. This surge could be attributed to the company’s announcement of its all-cash acquisition of Anheuser-Busch Brands, a subsidiary of craft beer maker Anheuser-Busch InBev. The acquisition will provide TILRAY with fast-growing products and brands such as Budweiser, Corona, Stella Artois and others.
This move gives TILRAY a platform to expand its presence in the craft beer market, creating new opportunities for growth and success. As part of the agreement, TILRAY will own and operate the Anheuser-Busch Brands’ brewing operations, giving them control over production and distribution. With the addition of the Anheuser-Busch brands, TILRAY is now well-positioned to capitalize on consumer demand for craft beer and become a major player in the brewing industry. Live Quote…
