Shares of Aurora Cannabis Inc. shot up 5.6% in morning trade Tuesday, to bounce off a two-month low ahead of the Canada-based cannabis company's fiscal third-quarter results due out after the close. The stock has lost 9.7% over the previous five sessions, while the ETFMG Alternative Harvest ETF has shed 8.4%.

The company is expected to report a loss of 5 cents Canadian per share, after a loss of 4 cents a year ago, while revenue is expected to increased 4-fold to C$67.5 million ($50.1 million).
