Here’s why.</p><h2>A New Reason to Buy AMC Stock</h2><p>Before entering the potential trade that has emerged with AMC Entertainment, let’s look at the backstory. On Feb. 20, a group of AMC investors filed suit against the company in Delaware Chancery Court.</p><p>In the suit, these shareholders allege that the company created and sold the APE equity units to implement further heavy shareholder dilution. Additionally, the company did this without having to obtain the support of existing shareholders. They argue that due to the prior sale of additional common shares of AMC stock, the company hit its authorized share count limit.</p><p>AMC was able to obtain shareholder support for the APE conversion plan, along with approval for its project to reverse-split the stock (enabling the conversion to happen and for AMC to continue with dilutive capital raises).

In fact, on Apr. 4, it appeared as if the plaintiffs were willing to accept their offer. However, a Delaware Chancery Court quashed the settlement plan two days later. This means the “APE Saga” continues, which may have created a new reason to buy AMC shares.</p><h2>The Trade</h2><p>So, how exactly can average investors potentially profit from the turn above of events? It all has to do with the arbitrageurs I mentioned above. APE was initially issued on a one-to-one basis with AMC stock. However, the preferred shares have traded at a sharp discount to the common shares.</p><p>As a result, risk arbitrage investors, like hedge funds, have entered long positions in APE and short positions in AMC. When the conversion is completed, they’re hoping to pocket the massive spread (AMC trades for around $5 per share versus $1.53 per share for APE).</p><p>Yet, while this seems like easy money on paper, in practice, it’s a bit more complicated than that. Borrowing fees short-sellers need to pay are at triple-digit percentage levels. That’s actually down in recent days, which tells investors all they need to know about shorting either of these names. Additionally, further roadblocks to the conversion, such as this litigation, dampen the appeal of the trade.</p><p>Adverse developments, such as the quashing of the settlement plan on Apr. 6, resulted in some arbitrageurs unwinding their positions. This corresponded to a squeeze higher for AMC stock. Another such reduction may be on the cards for Apr. 27. That’s when the next scheduled court hearing is expected to occur.</p><h2>Why You May Still Want to Skip It</h2><p>If the outcome of next week’s court hearing signals further delays in the share conversion, another squeeze may be in the cards for AMC stock. However, while this may sound like a fast money opportunity, remember that, like the arbitrage trade, it has its own caveats.</p><p>For one, the Apr. 6 quashing of the settlement offer was more of a surprise for the market, explaining the resultant 21% surge for AMC that trading day. Subsequent developments from the Apr. 27 hearing may be less-surprising, and result in a much smaller jump (if any) for the stock.</p><p>In addition, the next twist of events could always be favorable for APE conversion chances. This will bring arbs back into the other trade, pushing AMC lower.</p><p>Given that it is uncertain whether this event will spike or sinks AMC stock, it’s best to stay away.</p></body></html>","source":"investorplace","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Are AMC and APE Setting Up for a Pre-April 27 Short-Squeeze?</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nAre AMC and APE Setting Up for a Pre-April 27 Short-Squeeze?\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2023-04-25 13:40 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://investorplace.com/2023/04/is-amc-stock-setting-up-for-an-ape-of-a-short-squeeze/><strong>InvestorPlace</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>AMC Entertainment’s (AMC) plans to convert its APE Preferred Shares (APE) into common stock continues to be delayed by a court order.The next big news regarding this litigation will happen on April 27...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://investorplace.com/2023/04/is-amc-stock-setting-up-for-an-ape-of-a-short-squeeze/\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"APE":"AMC Entertainment Preferred","AMC":"AMC院线"},"source_url":"https://investorplace.com/2023/04/is-amc-stock-setting-up-for-an-ape-of-a-short-squeeze/","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1152600898","content_text":"AMC Entertainment’s (AMC) plans to convert its APE Preferred Shares (APE) into common stock continues to be delayed by a court order.The next big news regarding this litigation will happen on April 27, following a hearing in Delaware chancery court.Given its uncertain whether this event spikes or sinks AMC stock, it’s best to stay away.There are many ways to “play” AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC), but one that may be piquing the interest of retail traders today has to do with the latest news regarding the conversion of AMC Preferred Shares (NYSE:APE) into common shares of AMC stock.As you may be aware, there has been some legal controversy regarding the planned APE stock conversion.

It&#39;s still struggling, losing $0.20 per share in the second quarter of 2022 despite vastly improved attendance and revenue.</p><p>This helps explain why AMC might want to raise additional cash. But how it&#39;s going about that process should be a big problem for investors, as the company adds to a list of actions that don&#39;t look particularly shareholder-friendly.</p><h2>Putting shareholders first</h2><p>The basic logic of investing is that shareholders own the company. They hire a board of directors to oversee the management of the company; the board of directors hires a CEO to handle the day-to-day running of the business. That CEO answers to the board, which answers to shareholders. All in all, the business is supposed to be run for the benefit of its owners -- the people and institutions holding the stock.</p><p>That&#39;s a simplification of what are complex entities. There are clearly other parties involved that need to be considered, like employees, customers, and the towns where companies operate. However, good businesses understand that taking care of those constituencies also works to the benefit of shareholders. Unfortunately, all companies don&#39;t operate in the best interest of their owners.</p><p>Right now shareholders of AMC Entertainment should be worried about the moves the company is making.</p><h2>A list of problems at AMC</h2><p>When the pandemic hit in 2020, movie theaters were basically forced to shut down. It was a brutal period, and AMC&#39;s financial performance was understandably terrible. Then it somehow got sucked into the meme stock hoopla, causing its stock to rocket higher based on emotion, not financial performance. Superaggressive investors chatting on message boards were able to move the stock in often volatile fashion.</p><p>Management used the high stock price to issue shares; that provided the movie chain with much-needed cash to help it muddle through the pandemic hit. The survival of the business clearly trumped the dilution that shareholders experienced from the stock sales. Indeed, the stock would have likely been worthless if the company went bankrupt.</p><p>But something interesting happened in July 2021. AMC had been seeking approval to increase its share count so it could issue even more shares. It pulled the proposal because it was, presumably, getting pushback from shareholders. Essentially, the company&#39;s owners said no, noting that adding more shares would dilute existing shareholders even more than they had already been diluted. Although shareholders managed to protect themselves, this was an important sign that management may not have had its their best interests in mind.</p><p>And then in March 2022, AMC bought a 22% stake in <b>Hycroft Mining Holding</b>. Hycroft is a tiny gold miner, in a business that has absolutely nothing to do with movie theaters. While it makes sense for AMC to buy movie theaters, which it <i>has</i> been doing, it&#39;s hard to understand how an investment in a speculative gold company makes any sense. Shareholders had good reason too be worried about management&#39;s use of cash.</p><p>Now, the company has announced plans to issue preferred shares to investors. Although management pitched it as a benefit for shareholders, this move effectively opens the door for the company to sell additional preferred shares on the open market to raise additional capital. Cynical types might see this as a work-around after shareholders balked at more stock sales in 2021. It&#39;s also reasonable to ask why AMC put money into a gold investment if cash is so hard to get that it had to use a tactic like this.</p><h2>Long-term investors should be upset</h2><p>The trends here are not pleasing, and investors should probably be worried. AMC has been dealing with a very difficult operating environment, but some of the decisions it has made over the past couple of years don&#39;t appear to be shareholder-friendly.

It's still struggling, losing $0.20 per share in the second quarter of 2022 despite vastly improved attendance and revenue.This helps explain why AMC might want to raise additional cash. But how it's going about that process should be a big problem for investors, as the company adds to a list of actions that don't look particularly shareholder-friendly.Putting shareholders firstThe basic logic of investing is that shareholders own the company. They hire a board of directors to oversee the management of the company; the board of directors hires a CEO to handle the day-to-day running of the business. That CEO answers to the board, which answers to shareholders. All in all, the business is supposed to be run for the benefit of its owners -- the people and institutions holding the stock.That's a simplification of what are complex entities. There are clearly other parties involved that need to be considered, like employees, customers, and the towns where companies operate. However, good businesses understand that taking care of those constituencies also works to the benefit of shareholders. Unfortunately, all companies don't operate in the best interest of their owners.Right now shareholders of AMC Entertainment should be worried about the moves the company is making.A list of problems at AMCWhen the pandemic hit in 2020, movie theaters were basically forced to shut down. It was a brutal period, and AMC's financial performance was understandably terrible. Then it somehow got sucked into the meme stock hoopla, causing its stock to rocket higher based on emotion, not financial performance. Superaggressive investors chatting on message boards were able to move the stock in often volatile fashion.Management used the high stock price to issue shares; that provided the movie chain with much-needed cash to help it muddle through the pandemic hit. The survival of the business clearly trumped the dilution that shareholders experienced from the stock sales. Indeed, the stock would have likely been worthless if the company went bankrupt.But something interesting happened in July 2021. AMC had been seeking approval to increase its share count so it could issue even more shares. It pulled the proposal because it was, presumably, getting pushback from shareholders. Essentially, the company's owners said no, noting that adding more shares would dilute existing shareholders even more than they had already been diluted. Although shareholders managed to protect themselves, this was an important sign that management may not have had its their best interests in mind.And then in March 2022, AMC bought a 22% stake in Hycroft Mining Holding. Hycroft is a tiny gold miner, in a business that has absolutely nothing to do with movie theaters. While it makes sense for AMC to buy movie theaters, which it has been doing, it's hard to understand how an investment in a speculative gold company makes any sense. Shareholders had good reason too be worried about management's use of cash.Now, the company has announced plans to issue preferred shares to investors. Although management pitched it as a benefit for shareholders, this move effectively opens the door for the company to sell additional preferred shares on the open market to raise additional capital. Cynical types might see this as a work-around after shareholders balked at more stock sales in 2021. It's also reasonable to ask why AMC put money into a gold investment if cash is so hard to get that it had to use a tactic like this.Long-term investors should be upsetThe trends here are not pleasing, and investors should probably be worried. AMC has been dealing with a very difficult operating environment, but some of the decisions it has made over the past couple of years don't appear to be shareholder-friendly. Although the meme-stock crowd has again started to play with AMC's stock, sending it sharply higher, management's actions suggest that the risk here is very high.It's also worth noting that AMC recently bought back some debt on the open market at a steep 31% discount to par value. While that was probably a good use of cash, the fact that the company's bonds are trading below what they were sold at suggests that bond investors are anxious about the movie chain's ability to pay them back. Bondholders aren't the only ones who should worry about what the future holds for AMC.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":105,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9085920983,"gmtCreate":1650636047137,"gmtModify":1676534768005,"author":{"id":"3573676410010647","authorId":"3573676410010647","name":"CurryTaopok","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3573676410010647","authorIdStr":"3573676410010647"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Cool","listText":"Cool","text":"Cool","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9085920983","repostId":"2229886521","repostType":2,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":233,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9947048516,"gmtCreate":1682405310436,"gmtModify":1682405322566,"author":{"id":"3573676410010647","authorId":"3573676410010647","name":"CurryTaopok","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3573676410010647","authorIdStr":"3573676410010647"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Boooooooo 🙄","listText":"Boooooooo 🙄","text":"Boooooooo 🙄","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9947048516","repostId":"1152600898","repostType":2,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":267,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9952232461,"gmtCreate":1674734967154,"gmtModify":1676538956011,"author":{"id":"3573676410010647","authorId":"3573676410010647","name":"CurryTaopok","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3573676410010647","authorIdStr":"3573676410010647"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Diversion... where AMC?
