Why Cronos Group Stock Soared 13.8% Today

Shares of global cannabis company Cronos Group (NASDAQ: CRON) rocketed higher on Tuesday after the company reported its earnings for the first three months of 2022.

As of 2:44 p.m. ET, the stock is up 13.5% on the day and was up as much as 19.1% at one point during trading hours.

Before the market opened on May 10, Cronos Group released a financial update for the first quarter of 2022. Earnings per share, an important metric that financial analysts track, came in at negative $0.09.
