In 2018, Tilray partnered with Sandoz, a subsidiary of Novartis (NOVN), to co-brand and distribute Tilray's non-smokable medical cannabis products in legal markets globally. It also announced a $100m joint venture with AB InBev, the world's largest brewer.
In 2019, it signed a $250m revenue-sharing deal with New York City-based Authentic Brands Group (ABG) to leverage its brand names to develop, market and distribute cannabis products. Also in 2019, Tilray acquired Smith & Sinclair, FOUR20, Natura Naturals Holdings and Manitoba Harvest.

In July 2018, Tilray became the first pure-play cannabis company to go public on a major US stock exchange, floating its shares on the Nasdaq exchange at a price of $17 per share. In its first day of trading, the company's stock gained more than 30 per cent, closing at $22.39. But after experiencing a stellar rise to $300 per share by September 19, 2018, it entered a downtrend. With the exception of occasional upside fluctuations, the Tilray stock price was falling steadily, bottoming out at $2.43 in March 2020 in the market’s initial reaction to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Throughout 2020, TLRY stock had mainly traded below the $10 per share level, closing the year at $9 per share. In January 2021, the share price doubled from $9 to $18, soaring to close at $63.91 per share on February 10. The rally was driven by the warming political landscape for cannabis producers, as well as Reddit-backed retail investors who, at that time, short-squeezed a number of stocks, including GameStop (GME) and AMC Entertainment (AMC). The momentum was short-lived and by February 12, 2021, TRLY shares closed the trading session at $29.
