Aurora Cannabis (ACB) dropped 20.4% on June 18 despite reporting record fiscal 2025 results in its Q4 financial report (see here)—and here’s why:

  1. Cautious Q1 guidance spooked investors: While Aurora posted strong Q4 numbers—like a 48% jump in medical cannabis revenue and positive free cash flow—it warned that international sales would dip in Q1 2026 due to short-term issues in Poland and the UK. That guidance overshadowed the upbeat results. CEO Miguel Martin, however, called the selloff an “overreaction,” emphasizing that the company remains debt-free, cash-flow positive, and focused on high-margin medical markets like Germany and Australia.
  2. Earnings miss on the bottom line: Aurora reported a loss of 24 cents per share, missing analyst expectations of an 11-cent profit. Even with revenue beating estimates, the earnings miss raised concerns about near-term profitability.
  3. Profit-taking after a strong run: The stock closed at $5.88 on June 17th (up 38.5% YTD) and fell by $1.00/share (17%) within minutes of the market trading on June 18th so some investors used the earnings event as a chance to lock in gains—especially with no immediate catalysts on the horizon.
