Canopy Growth Corp. reported fiscal first quarter 2021 earnings on Monday that showed a smaller loss than Wall Street expected.
Shares of the company jumped as much as 13% Monday.
Still, the company's reported revenue missed expectations, weighed down by an 11% slump in Canadian recreational net revenue.

Revenue was 22% higher than in the same quarter last year, as growth in Canadian medical net revenue and international net revenue offset an 11% slump in Canadian recreational net revenue. Still, that fell short of Wall Street expectations for the quarter.
"Following our previously announced restructuring actions, we have substantially reduced our expense and cash burn in this quarter in addition to reducing headcount by over 18% since beginning of this calendar year," said Chief Financial Officer Mike Lee in a statement.
