The movie-theater chain and original meme stock exceeded consensus estimates for revenue; adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization; net income; and diluted EPS, Aron added. "While we anticipate that the second-quarter box office will continue to be affected by the 2023 Hollywood strikes, we are ebullient about the upcoming film slate, and we expect to see an increasingly strong box office as the year progresses."
AMC shares, which hit a series of record lows earlier this year, have fallen 50.5% in 2024, compared with the $S&P 500(.SPX)$
The company's debt burden is also in the spotlight. Last week, Bloomberg reported that a lender group to AMC advised by law firm Gibson Dunn & Crutcher has made a proposal to the company that would push back its near-term debt maturities.
In a note released Monday, analyst firm Wedbush said the move could be important as AMC looks to tackle its $4.5 billion in debt, $2.9 billion of which is coming due in 2026. "This is a key initiative as AMC looks to clean up its balance sheet in the coming years," wrote Wedbush analyst Alicia Reese.
