Aurora Cannabis stock fell on Friday, even as the Canadian cannabis producer said it expects fiscal first-quarter sales and adjusted margins to come in at the high end of its expected range. Other marijuana stocks were mixed.

Aurora Cannabis (ACB) has said that net sales would likely be made up almost entirely of cannabis, after divesting “noncore subsidiaries” during the prior fiscal year.
Aurora also expects adjusted gross margin to be at the high end of earlier views for 46%-50%. Sales, general and administrative costs for the quarter are expected to be in the low 40-million range, when excluding contract and employee termination costs.
