High Tide ( (TSE:HITI) ) has issued an update.

High Tide reported record first-quarter fiscal 2026 results for the period ended January 31, 2026, with revenue rising 25% year over year to $178.3 million and annualized sales now exceeding $700 million. The company also posted record gross profit of $44.4 million, generated $2.9 million in free cash flow, and narrowed its net loss to $0.4 million, while maintaining a 25% gross margin despite temporary pressure from discounted legacy biomass in its medical segment.

Operationally, Canna Cabana reinforced its leadership in Canadian cannabis retail with a 12% market share, average store sales at 1.9 times peers, and rapid expansion of its Cabana Club loyalty base to 2.58 million Canadian members and 6.65 million globally, including a doubling of ELITE members. Internationally, High Tide’s Remexian unit lifted its share of German cannabis imports to 10.3%, and management highlighted improving U.S. e-commerce trends and active exploration of U.K. expansion via M&A, underscoring a strategy to leverage its discount-club model across an increasingly global footprint.

The most recent analyst rating on (TSE:HITI) stock is a Sell with a C$3.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on High Tide stock, see the TSE:HITI Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on HITI Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, HITI is a Neutral.

The score is driven primarily by weakened financial performance (2025 loss resurgence and materially higher leverage) and bearish technicals (below key moving averages with negative MACD and very weak RSI/Stochastic). Positive operating/free cash flow provides some support, but valuation is constrained by ongoing losses and no stated dividend yield.
