Aurora Cannabis Beats Expectations but Faces Short-Term Challenges

Aurora Cannabis exceeded expectations with C$90.5 million in Q4 revenue, up 34% year-over-year. Despite this, the stock dropped 20% as the company warned of short-term pricing pressures in international markets and a potential decline in adjusted EBITDA. Technical signals suggest further downside, though long-term investors may still see potential in the cannabis sector.

Aurora Cannabis recently posted fourth-quarter results that surpassed Wall Street expectations, reporting revenue of C$90.5 million, ahead of analysts’ projections of C$88.3 million.

This reflects a 34% year-over-year increase. Despite the positive revenue growth, the company issued a warning about short-term challenges, particularly in international markets, which contribute 61% of its total revenue.

Management of Aurora Cannabis noted that global cannabis prices are expected to dip slightly in the near term compared to the fourth quarter of 2025

However, they anticipate improvement in future quarters due to broader market adoption and increased innovation. As a result, Aurora Cannabis’ now positive adjusted EBITDA is also expected to decline temporarily, potentially leading to greater overall losses.

Investors responded negatively to this guidance, despite the strong results. On Wednesday, June 18th, shares dropped by 20%, breaking below the key $5 threshold and the 200-day moving average at $4.95. This drop is seen as a sell signal, especially after the recent formation of a golden cross on the chart—a typically bullish indicator that now appears to have been invalidated.

From a technical standpoint, the $4.60 level is now a crucial support zone. If this level fails to hold, the stock could fall further, with initial support at $4.30 and a possible dip to $3.80 if downward momentum continues.

Given the current outlook, short-term investors may want to avoid Aurora Cannabis stock. The combination of expected price pressure and a deteriorating technical setup suggests potential near-term volatility and losses.

However, for speculative medium- to long-term investors, the cannabis sector still holds promise. The industry has shown substantial positive development in recent years and may offer significant opportunities going forward.
