Many bulls are pointing to AMC’s progress in cutting losses compared to prior quarters, and various bullish box office-related catalysts, mainly boosted enthusiasm around Taylor Swift’s Eras tour selling out theaters.</p><p>However, in my view, AMC still requires much more rigorous debate before investors can consider this stock, even at current levels. This is not a business I see as fundamentally sustainable in the long-run due to its inconsistent cash flow generation, heavy reliance on box office momentum from Hollywood, and loss-making business model. There is a lot more to unpack about this business, especially after the peculiar creation of the new APE preferred stock last year.</p><h2 id=\"id_3775342372\">The Biggest Problem With AMC Stock? Crushing Debt and Dilution</h2><p>Clearly, AMC is having a ton of trouble trying to raise capital and dig itself out of the massive $9.5 billion debt pile it still sits on, with just $435 million in cash on hand as of last quarter. The company’s interest payments on this towering debt load are crushing the company, and AMC has had to engage in considerable share dilution at discounted prices over the past year to repay portions of this debt and continue normal business operations.</p><p>Of course, AMC can survive for years if retail investors continue to step up and prop the share price up when needed, providing capital to management. The company can also survive if it finds other creative ways of securing funding, like asset sales.</p><p>However, I do not believe this is a sustainable business model for the long-run, as there is simply no clear path back to consistent profitability on the horizon yet. Some would argue that AMC’s losses will eventually be substantially reduced, once interest rates ease and the Federal Reserve pivots from its hawkish monetary policy stance. Personally, I find that argument lacks merit since the Federal Reserve has clearly signaled that it would likely need to keep interest rates at restrictive levels for a prolonged period of time, especially as we have continued to see the U.S. economy perform quite well in recent quarters.</p><h2 id=\"id_1175006907\">No Respite for AMC Stock Even if Rates Fall</h2><p>And still, even in a scenario where the Federal Reserve did suddenly start cutting interest rates again and easing policy, I do not believe it would reverse the long-term prognosis for AMC completely. That’s because the core issue is that even if you exclude these debt interest payments, the AMC business itself is still burning significant cash on an operating basis annually.</p><p>In my view, this is the biggest fundamental red flag and issue here. It signals that AMC needs to make some serious adjustments to its business model and operations for any hopes of achieving consistent long-term profitability down the line. Relying on momentary hype cycles like the recent wave of Taylor Swift fans won’t be a repeatable phenomenon forever. So, eventually, I expect AMC will return to posting lackluster loss-making figures in a quarter or two, in line with its usual performance when you pull back the lens.</p><h2 id=\"id_693068060\">Very Few Realistic Options Remain for AMC Stock</h2><p>The conclusion I keep coming back to is simple: AMC has frankly no realistic way out of the deep hole it has dug itself into over the past decade, at least from what I can observe. It simply has too much debt relative to its cash-generating capabilities and cash reserves to keep burning through $742 million of cash every twelve months.</p><p>Yes, AMC can survive for a few more years if management continues to reduce its footprint and cut costs.

Many bulls are pointing to AMC’s progress in cutting losses compared to prior quarters, and various bullish box office-related catalysts, mainly boosted enthusiasm around Taylor Swift’s Eras tour selling out theaters.However, in my view, AMC still requires much more rigorous debate before investors can consider this stock, even at current levels. This is not a business I see as fundamentally sustainable in the long-run due to its inconsistent cash flow generation, heavy reliance on box office momentum from Hollywood, and loss-making business model. There is a lot more to unpack about this business, especially after the peculiar creation of the new APE preferred stock last year.The Biggest Problem With AMC Stock? Crushing Debt and DilutionClearly, AMC is having a ton of trouble trying to raise capital and dig itself out of the massive $9.5 billion debt pile it still sits on, with just $435 million in cash on hand as of last quarter. The company’s interest payments on this towering debt load are crushing the company, and AMC has had to engage in considerable share dilution at discounted prices over the past year to repay portions of this debt and continue normal business operations.Of course, AMC can survive for years if retail investors continue to step up and prop the share price up when needed, providing capital to management. The company can also survive if it finds other creative ways of securing funding, like asset sales.However, I do not believe this is a sustainable business model for the long-run, as there is simply no clear path back to consistent profitability on the horizon yet. Some would argue that AMC’s losses will eventually be substantially reduced, once interest rates ease and the Federal Reserve pivots from its hawkish monetary policy stance. Personally, I find that argument lacks merit since the Federal Reserve has clearly signaled that it would likely need to keep interest rates at restrictive levels for a prolonged period of time, especially as we have continued to see the U.S. economy perform quite well in recent quarters.No Respite for AMC Stock Even if Rates FallAnd still, even in a scenario where the Federal Reserve did suddenly start cutting interest rates again and easing policy, I do not believe it would reverse the long-term prognosis for AMC completely. That’s because the core issue is that even if you exclude these debt interest payments, the AMC business itself is still burning significant cash on an operating basis annually.In my view, this is the biggest fundamental red flag and issue here. It signals that AMC needs to make some serious adjustments to its business model and operations for any hopes of achieving consistent long-term profitability down the line. Relying on momentary hype cycles like the recent wave of Taylor Swift fans won’t be a repeatable phenomenon forever. So, eventually, I expect AMC will return to posting lackluster loss-making figures in a quarter or two, in line with its usual performance when you pull back the lens.Very Few Realistic Options Remain for AMC StockThe conclusion I keep coming back to is simple: AMC has frankly no realistic way out of the deep hole it has dug itself into over the past decade, at least from what I can observe. It simply has too much debt relative to its cash-generating capabilities and cash reserves to keep burning through $742 million of cash every twelve months.Yes, AMC can survive for a few more years if management continues to reduce its footprint and cut costs. But where will this company realistically be in five years or ten years if it fails to achieve consistent profitability?In my opinion, the only ways I can envision AMC actually getting out from under this towering debt load any time soon is if either:Another much more massive company or entity comes along and acquires AMC, taking this debt load onto their own books. Or, lightning somehow keeps striking at the same place over and over, with new viral trends and memes consistently spiking AMC’s ticket sales, cash flow, and share price every quarter.Of course, both of those scenarios seem highly improbable to me currently. Moreover, as mentioned, the Federal Reserve has made it abundantly clear that markets should expect restrictive high interest rates to persist for the foreseeable future, barring an unexpected severe plunge in the economy or forced pivot.And still, even in a fantasy scenario where the Fed suddenly cuts rates again, I do not see that providing much, if any, true respite for AMC Stock, or the company’s unsustainable financial position. Because at the end of the day, this company needs to fix the core profitability issues with its underlying business model and operations to survive, regardless of interest rates or viral meme stock rallies.The Bottom LineIn summary, while I respect the recent bullish price action and meme enthusiasm, I simply cannot, in good faith, recommend investing in AMC stock near $10 per share at the moment. In my view, survival does not automatically equate to a sound long-term investing thesis.AMC needs to adequately address its core business model and profitability issues first before becoming investable again. Its decisions and financials of the past few years point in a downward trajectory. Thus, in my opinion, the recent momentary meme-fueled relief rallies we’ve seen in 2023 so far may be getting long in the tooth.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":276,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":225000330731600,"gmtCreate":1696010386521,"gmtModify":1696041146768,"author":{"id":"4119226100765382","authorId":"4119226100765382","name":"Linlin noman","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/d4cf1beb7ca43413547c8dde5a4700e0","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4119226100765382","authorIdStr":"4119226100765382"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Shorts still need to cover millons of Share amc&nbsp;will have a squeeze , popcorn f^*k his shareholder real hard , he deserves prison !!!&nbsp;","listText":"Shorts still need to cover millons of Share amc&nbsp;will have a squeeze , popcorn f^*k his shareholder real hard , he deserves prison !!!&nbsp;","text":"Shorts still need to cover millons of Share amc will have a squeeze , popcorn f^*k his shareholder real hard , he deserves prison !!!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/225000330731600","repostId":"2370633577","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2370633577","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1695969000,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2370633577?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2023-09-29 14:30","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Curtain Call: Is it Time to Exit the AMC Stock Theater?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2370633577","media":"InvestorPlace","summary":"AMC Entertainment implemented a massive stock sale in order to raise badly needed equity.However, share dilution concerns persist for AMC Entertainment’s loyal investors.Think twice if you’re considering purchasing AMC stock now.Sure, there will be blockbuster films from time to time.

But what does this all mean and why has the stock tumbled in the days leading up to the big moves?</p><h2 id=\"id_2433971117\">How We Got Here</h2><p>AMC has garnered a lot of attention since the pandemic hit U.S. shores. The movie theater company had to shut down operations due to Covid-19 lockdowns after already taking on loads of debt to buy smaller movie chains and invest in upgrading its theaters. The road to survival was not an easy one, and the company had to sell stock to keep the lights on.</p><p>Luckily for AMC, it became a “meme stock,” or a stock that gets a massive amount of attention from retail traders who discuss their stock picks on social media threads and try to stick it to short sellers. With such a high short interest at the time, meme traders bought up shares, squeezing institutional investors who wanted to gain from the stock’s potential decline.</p><p>The stock got as high as $33.90 in June 2021, and AMC wanted to continue selling stock in order to raise more capital. But not all shareholders were on board and AMC didn’t have the votes, so the potential additional sales of AMC stock were squashed.</p><p>AMC needed a solution to gain more cash to pay off its debt while keeping investors happy. That’s where the APEs came in.</p><h2 id=\"id_3826602794\">Explaining the APEs and the Conversion</h2><p>AMC issued about 517 million preferred equity units, or APEs, to be traded on the New York Stock Exchange in August 2022 with the intention of raising more money to pay off debt. In order to keep legacy AMC holders content, each shareholder gained one share of preferred equity units for each AMC share they owned.</p><p>After a year, the APE shares were set to convert into AMC stock, and that conversion was approved by shareholders in March, but it was held up by a case in Delaware Chancery Court.</p><p>For an explanation, we turned to Tom Bruni, senior writer at StockTwits, a social-media platform designed for sharing ideas between investors.</p><p>“All it does is change the one share of APE unit into a share of AMC, so you’re just eliminating the APE units entirely, and if you own one share of an APE unit, you’ll get one share of AMC stock,” Bruni said.</p><p>“Where it gets confusing is they’re doing this reverse split on AMC shares first. So technically, since the conversion is happening second, for every one share of APE unit you have, that converts to 1/10 of one share of AMC shares,” Bruni added.</p><p>The reverse stock split is set to take place on Thursday, and is meant to reduce the number of AMC shares outstanding, which will allow the company to issue more shares down the line. What’s important for investors to know is what happens to their stock on Friday. Essentially, if a trader owns 100 APE units, on Friday, that trader will have 10 AMC shares.</p><h2 id=\"id_2537402307\">The Reason AMC Stock Is Trading Lower</h2><p>AMC has made it clear that to continue running, it needs to earn more capital. AMC declined to provide a comment for this article, but in a letter to shareholders posted to X, formerly known as Twitter, Chief Executive Adam Aron said that by converting the APE shares to common shares, he believes “AMC will be able to raise equity capital more efficiently and on better terms in the future.”</p><p>However, AMC shares tumbled 23.1% Wednesday to $1.96, and closed at their lowest level since January 2021, according to Dow Jones Market Data. The stock has fallen 42% over the last three consecutive days, which is its worst three-day stretch since February 2021.</p><p>That likely reflects the dilution of their current shares in the conversion and the possibility that they will be diluted down the line as AMC will be able to introduce and issue more of its common stock.</p><h2 id=\"id_2607396303\">What’s Next for AMC</h2><p>“It’s a double-edged sword because in the short term, you’re diluting shareholders and you’re opening up the door for further dilution in the future because they can issue more shares,” Bruni says. “It’s painful because you’re being diluted, there’s probably going to be losses in the short-term, your investment is not looking so good. But from a longer term business perspective, the underlying business needs this money in order to survive and try to turn itself around.”</p><p>AMC is more than just a meme stock: it’s a movie theater company that needs to sell tickets and concessions to survive.

This also extends to individual companies. Oftentimes, but not always, this irrational behavior can be traced back to some specific event or circumstance. And when that event or circumstance runs its course, you ultimately see the security or securities in question revert back to some level of normalcy. This is what I believe will transpire fairly soon when it comes to movie theater operator <strong>AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc.</strong> (NYSE:AMC).</p><p>Over this past weekend, news broke that a court agreed to the newest settlement offer between AMC Entertainment and a group of investors who were holding up a conversion of the preferred equity units (APE) that the company had issued into common stock and a subsequent reverse stock split. It is my view that this will have profound ramifications for the speculators and investors in the firm. Ultimately, this should pave the way though for the market to finally start focusing on fundamentals and to move past the ‘meme stock’ mentality that has dominated the narrative for the business.</p><h2 id=\"id_454910456\">A look at recent developments</h2><p>According to a press release issued by AMC Entertainment on August 14th, the judge overseeing the case between AMC Entertainment and a group of shareholders who were preventing the business from forcing a conversion of the preferred equity units into common, has finally agreed to let the deal move forward. Last month, I wrote a detailed article discussing everything leading up to this point and all of the intricacies involved.</p><p>Instead of rehashing those details here, I would encourage you to check out that article here. The short version is that, for every 7.5 shares of AMC Entertainment that investors in the firm’s common stock currently own, AMC Entertainment will issue a settlement of one additional share.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8b5b390111ad593e77838768c4ae7b57\" alt=\"Author - SEC EDGAR Data\" title=\"Author - SEC EDGAR Data\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"430\"/><span>Author - SEC EDGAR Data</span></p><p>This transaction will only occur after AMC Entertainment first engages in a reverse stock split, taking the number of common shares of the business from around 519.2 million to 51.92 million. The preferred equity units will be decreased from 995.4 million to 99.54 million before being converted into common stock on a one-for-one basis. The settlement will be adjusted for the stock split, resulting in 6.92 million shares of common being distributed to existing shareholders of the common. At the end of the day, this will take the number of common shares of the business to 158.38 million. However, the implied price will be approximately 10 times what it currently is.</p><p>In response to this development, shares of the common stock plunged 35.6%. By comparison, the preferred equity units jumped by 16.3%. The reason for this divergent movement stems from the fact that, ever since the preferred equity units were issued, there was a significant price disparity between the two enterprises. Even now, that gap persists. At present, shares of the common stock are at $3.39 each. That compares to the $2.07 that the preferred equity units can be picked up for. Economically speaking, they are the same and, as of August 25th of this year, the preferred equity units will no longer exist because they will have been converted. So you would expect the prices of these two to converge.</p><p>The big question is how this will take place. We already saw that one moved up while the other moved down. There&#39;s no doubt that AMC Entertainment is struggling financially at this time. Given the fact that the preferred equity units have been used to raise capital while the company has been restricted from offering more common stock, I believe that the preferred equity units more appropriately value the company as it stands today. If I am correct, this would mean that the common should continue to fall more than the preferred equity units rise. This doesn&#39;t mean that there is not some sort of upside for the preferred equity units. Based on closing prices as of August 14th, the common stock has baked into it that extra fraction of a share associated with the settlement. That should work out to about $0.45 per unit. If we factor this into the equation, then the spread between the preferred equity units and the common would still be approximately 41.9% if we assume that all of the extra closing of the price will be on the upside for the former.</p><p>Once this all comes to pass later this month, there should be no further catalyst to encourage rampant speculation. This doesn&#39;t mean that the volatility will die down immediately. But at some point, we should return to some degree of normalcy that prioritizes, and justifiably so, fundamentals over all else. When I last wrote about the company and rated it a &#34;sell&#34; in July of this year, I made the argument that the absolute best-case scenario for shareholders would be an enterprise that is fairly valued. But given the risk associated with that, I believed that investors might be better off looking elsewhere for opportunity.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fdaaea98ec66c231f3311849274b8f7c\" alt=\"Author - SEC EDGAR Data\" title=\"Author - SEC EDGAR Data\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"238\"/><span>Author - SEC EDGAR Data</span></p><p>My overall assessment of the situation remains unchanged. But it is true that shares of the common stock have plunged 42.1% since that day while the S&amp;P 500 has dropped only 1.4%. At some point, a decline can make a company attractive again. And since the publication of that article, management has come out with additional data while the market has also changed. As you can see in the chart above, financial performance in the second quarter of 2023 improved considerably compared to what the company reported one year earlier. Revenue, profits, and cash flows, all improved markedly. As the chart below illustrates, the company still has pain on a year-to-date basis. And even the second quarter results were not exactly fantastic.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/1fc57f70508d792a8eabdc6d94c176e1\" alt=\"Author - SEC EDGAR Data\" title=\"Author - SEC EDGAR Data\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"240\"/><span>Author - SEC EDGAR Data</span></p><p>As I pointed out in my prior article, the recovery the company has been showing can be chalked up to a broader recovery for the box office. And so far, box office results are continuing to show strength. The greatest example that has developed over the past several weeks has been the <em>Barbie</em> movie. As of this writing, the movie has captured $1.19 billion in global box office receipts, making it the 25th highest grossing film of all time. In the domestic market, it has generated $526.4 million, making it the 18th highest grossing film here at home. And surely, these numbers will only improve from this point.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ece6f8b06a0b6fdc885def86a8f597ea\" alt=\"The-Numbers.com\" title=\"The-Numbers.com\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"163\"/><span>The-Numbers.com</span></p><p>It&#39;s also important to point out, however, that it is unclear that the company truly can stage a full recovery. As I pointed out in my prior article, the best-case scenario would be a return to what the company generated in 2019, which was the final year before the pandemic. But there have been structural issues at play. For instance, back then, the company had ownership interests in 1,004 different theaters and 11,041 screens. As of the end of the second quarter, this has dropped to 906 theaters with 10,120 screens.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/5d613f3b4bb4795a0a371275ab823401\" alt=\"The-Numbers.com\" title=\"The-Numbers.com\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"494\"/><span>The-Numbers.com</span></p><p>Prior to the pandemic, the number of tickets sold for shows in theaters continued to decline domestically. But overall box office results continued to improve because of higher pricing and higher spending inside of the theaters. But on an inflation adjusted basis, box office results remained in a fairly narrow range for much of the past 26 years (excluding the pandemic years and since then). So this is not a market that is experiencing true growth on a real basis. That should also weigh into the decisions that investors make.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/32659fb5d36a46c05cf7b5e4d5d651f1\" alt=\"The-Numbers.com\" title=\"The-Numbers.com\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"341\"/><span>The-Numbers.com</span></p><p>As for pricing, if the business were to achieve the kind of performance that it generated in 2019, and if I am correct that the preferred equity units most accurately reflect the true value of the enterprise, then the company would be trading at a future price to adjusted operating cash flow multiple of 7.3 and at an EV to EBITDA multiple of 10. In a space with even modest growth and without all the trouble that AMC Entertainment has, such as continued uncertainty regarding its $4.41 billion in debt, I would be drawn to these multiples. But add in all of these issues and broader economic concerns, and I believe that the company might still see some downside from here. I am more neutral on the preferred equity units, however. Like I said, these could very well continue to increase some as prices converge.</p><h2 id=\"id_3375548992\">Takeaway</h2><p>Based on the data provided, I must say that I am happy that this drama is drawing to a close. AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. stock has been dominated by irrationality far longer than what is typical. In the event that the company stages a full recovery, it is possible that some upside potential could exist. But when it comes to the common stock, I would not like to be involved in that bet. I am more neutral on the preferred equity units at this time since I also have a difficult time imagining the common stock of the company falling enough to completely make up the gap between the two.

Investors should approach the stock and preferred equity units with caution.lisegagneFrom time to time, markets can behave very irrationally. This also extends to individual companies. Oftentimes, but not always, this irrational behavior can be traced back to some specific event or circumstance. And when that event or circumstance runs its course, you ultimately see the security or securities in question revert back to some level of normalcy. This is what I believe will transpire fairly soon when it comes to movie theater operator AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:AMC).Over this past weekend, news broke that a court agreed to the newest settlement offer between AMC Entertainment and a group of investors who were holding up a conversion of the preferred equity units (APE) that the company had issued into common stock and a subsequent reverse stock split. It is my view that this will have profound ramifications for the speculators and investors in the firm. Ultimately, this should pave the way though for the market to finally start focusing on fundamentals and to move past the ‘meme stock’ mentality that has dominated the narrative for the business.A look at recent developmentsAccording to a press release issued by AMC Entertainment on August 14th, the judge overseeing the case between AMC Entertainment and a group of shareholders who were preventing the business from forcing a conversion of the preferred equity units into common, has finally agreed to let the deal move forward. Last month, I wrote a detailed article discussing everything leading up to this point and all of the intricacies involved.Instead of rehashing those details here, I would encourage you to check out that article here. The short version is that, for every 7.5 shares of AMC Entertainment that investors in the firm’s common stock currently own, AMC Entertainment will issue a settlement of one additional share.Author - SEC EDGAR DataThis transaction will only occur after AMC Entertainment first engages in a reverse stock split, taking the number of common shares of the business from around 519.2 million to 51.92 million. The preferred equity units will be decreased from 995.4 million to 99.54 million before being converted into common stock on a one-for-one basis. The settlement will be adjusted for the stock split, resulting in 6.92 million shares of common being distributed to existing shareholders of the common. At the end of the day, this will take the number of common shares of the business to 158.38 million. However, the implied price will be approximately 10 times what it currently is.In response to this development, shares of the common stock plunged 35.6%. By comparison, the preferred equity units jumped by 16.3%. The reason for this divergent movement stems from the fact that, ever since the preferred equity units were issued, there was a significant price disparity between the two enterprises. Even now, that gap persists. At present, shares of the common stock are at $3.39 each. That compares to the $2.07 that the preferred equity units can be picked up for. Economically speaking, they are the same and, as of August 25th of this year, the preferred equity units will no longer exist because they will have been converted. So you would expect the prices of these two to converge.The big question is how this will take place. We already saw that one moved up while the other moved down. There's no doubt that AMC Entertainment is struggling financially at this time. Given the fact that the preferred equity units have been used to raise capital while the company has been restricted from offering more common stock, I believe that the preferred equity units more appropriately value the company as it stands today. If I am correct, this would mean that the common should continue to fall more than the preferred equity units rise. This doesn't mean that there is not some sort of upside for the preferred equity units. Based on closing prices as of August 14th, the common stock has baked into it that extra fraction of a share associated with the settlement. That should work out to about $0.45 per unit. If we factor this into the equation, then the spread between the preferred equity units and the common would still be approximately 41.9% if we assume that all of the extra closing of the price will be on the upside for the former.Once this all comes to pass later this month, there should be no further catalyst to encourage rampant speculation. This doesn't mean that the volatility will die down immediately. But at some point, we should return to some degree of normalcy that prioritizes, and justifiably so, fundamentals over all else. When I last wrote about the company and rated it a \"sell\" in July of this year, I made the argument that the absolute best-case scenario for shareholders would be an enterprise that is fairly valued. But given the risk associated with that, I believed that investors might be better off looking elsewhere for opportunity.Author - SEC EDGAR DataMy overall assessment of the situation remains unchanged. But it is true that shares of the common stock have plunged 42.1% since that day while the S&P 500 has dropped only 1.4%. At some point, a decline can make a company attractive again. And since the publication of that article, management has come out with additional data while the market has also changed. As you can see in the chart above, financial performance in the second quarter of 2023 improved considerably compared to what the company reported one year earlier. Revenue, profits, and cash flows, all improved markedly. As the chart below illustrates, the company still has pain on a year-to-date basis. And even the second quarter results were not exactly fantastic.Author - SEC EDGAR DataAs I pointed out in my prior article, the recovery the company has been showing can be chalked up to a broader recovery for the box office. And so far, box office results are continuing to show strength. The greatest example that has developed over the past several weeks has been the Barbie movie. As of this writing, the movie has captured $1.19 billion in global box office receipts, making it the 25th highest grossing film of all time. In the domestic market, it has generated $526.4 million, making it the 18th highest grossing film here at home. And surely, these numbers will only improve from this point.The-Numbers.comIt's also important to point out, however, that it is unclear that the company truly can stage a full recovery. As I pointed out in my prior article, the best-case scenario would be a return to what the company generated in 2019, which was the final year before the pandemic. But there have been structural issues at play. For instance, back then, the company had ownership interests in 1,004 different theaters and 11,041 screens. As of the end of the second quarter, this has dropped to 906 theaters with 10,120 screens.The-Numbers.comPrior to the pandemic, the number of tickets sold for shows in theaters continued to decline domestically. But overall box office results continued to improve because of higher pricing and higher spending inside of the theaters. But on an inflation adjusted basis, box office results remained in a fairly narrow range for much of the past 26 years (excluding the pandemic years and since then). So this is not a market that is experiencing true growth on a real basis. That should also weigh into the decisions that investors make.The-Numbers.comAs for pricing, if the business were to achieve the kind of performance that it generated in 2019, and if I am correct that the preferred equity units most accurately reflect the true value of the enterprise, then the company would be trading at a future price to adjusted operating cash flow multiple of 7.3 and at an EV to EBITDA multiple of 10. In a space with even modest growth and without all the trouble that AMC Entertainment has, such as continued uncertainty regarding its $4.41 billion in debt, I would be drawn to these multiples. But add in all of these issues and broader economic concerns, and I believe that the company might still see some downside from here. I am more neutral on the preferred equity units, however. Like I said, these could very well continue to increase some as prices converge.TakeawayBased on the data provided, I must say that I am happy that this drama is drawing to a close. AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. stock has been dominated by irrationality far longer than what is typical. In the event that the company stages a full recovery, it is possible that some upside potential could exist. But when it comes to the common stock, I would not like to be involved in that bet. I am more neutral on the preferred equity units at this time since I also have a difficult time imagining the common stock of the company falling enough to completely make up the gap between the two. But no matter what, this is a volatile situation and investors should tread cautiously.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":327,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9955795797,"gmtCreate":1675742395420,"gmtModify":1675742400169,"author":{"id":"4119226100765382","authorId":"4119226100765382","name":"Linlin noman","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/d4cf1beb7ca43413547c8dde5a4700e0","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4119226100765382","authorIdStr":"4119226100765382"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Share your opinion about this news…","listText":"Share your opinion about this news…","text":"Share your opinion about this news…","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9955795797","repostId":"1104959162","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"1104959162","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1675740465,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1104959162?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2023-02-07 11:27","language":"en","title":"RBA Lifts Cash Rate 0.25pc to 3.35pc, Signals More to Come","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1104959162","media":"Australian Financial Review","summary":"The Reserve Bank of Australia on Tuesday pressed ahead with a ninth straight increase to the officia","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>The Reserve Bank of Australia on Tuesday pressed ahead with a ninth straight increase to the official interest rate, taking it to 3.35 per cent, and said more rises would be necessary to tame high inflation despite some families experiencing “a painful squeeze” on their household budgets.</p><p>After peaking at 7.8 per cent in the December quarter, headline inflation is expected to fall to 4.75 per cent by year’s end but remain well above the RBA’s 2 per cent to 3 per cent target band until at least mid-2025.</p><p>At its first meeting of 2023, the RBA board raised the cash rate by 0.25 percentage points and said it remained committed to ensuring the current high inflation period was “only temporary”.</p><p>“The board’s priority is to return inflation to target.

High inflation makes life difficult for people and damages the functioning of the economy,” Dr Lowe said in a decidedly hawkish statement following the meeting.“And if high inflation were to become entrenched in people’s expectations, it would be very costly to reduce later.” That means “further increases in interest rates will be needed in coming months”.At 3.35 per cent, monthly repayments on a 25-year, $500,000 mortgage will have increased by $908 since May 2022, by $1362 for a $750,000 mortgage, and by $1816 for a $1 million loan, according to comparison website RateCity.Inflation is the main gameWhile acknowledging the so-called “lag effect” of existing interest rate rises to date, which means many households are yet to feel the full hit to the cost of living, the bank’s No. 1 priority remained taming inflation.“The board is seeking to return inflation to the 2-3 per cent range while keeping the economy on an even keel, but the path to achieving a soft landing remains a narrow one,” Dr Lowe said.“In assessing how much further interest rates need to increase, the board will be paying close attention to developments in the global economy, trends in household spending and the outlook for inflation and the labour market.The RBA governor said there was uncertainty around the timing and extent of the expected and necessary slowdown in household spending.“Some households have substantial savings buffers, but others are experiencing a painful squeeze on their budgets due to higher interest rates and the increase in the cost of living,” he said.Previewing the bank’s quarterly statement on monetary policy due out on Friday, Dr Lowe said on Tuesday a forecast 1.5 per cent economic growth in 2023 and 2024 was little changed from October.“The recovery in spending on services following the lifting of COVID restrictions has largely run its course and the tighter financial conditions will constrain spending more broadly,” he said.The central forecast for unemployment is an increase to 3.75 per cent by the end of this year and 4.5 per cent by mid-2025.Innes Willox, chief executive of Australian Industry Group, said the prospect of further interest rate rises ahead was “sobering” news.“There are strong signs the desired slowdown in activity is beginning to take effect and, as we get further along the path of monetary tightening, the risk of overdoing the rate rises clearly intensifies,” Mr Willox said.“It is critical now that businesses, governments and employees exercise moderation in price setting and wages negotiations and avoid fuelling the inflation and inflation expectations.”Cash rate could peak higherA snap poll of 24 economists conducted by The Australian Financial Review on Friday showed 22 respondents expected the quarter-point increase, while the median forecast peak in the cash rate was 3.6 per cent.That suggests just one more increase is due from the RBA, though the wording of the bank’s latest statement suggested it would peak higher.Since May last year, the Reserve Bank has raised the cash rate on nine consecutive occasions, taking it from a record low 0.1 per cent to 3.35 per cent in the fastest monetary policy tightening cycle in a generation.The poll also showed 18 respondents not forecasting any decrease in the cash rate this year, a view reinforced for many by the December quarter inflation data, which came in stronger than expected.At 1.9 per cent over the quarter and 7.8 per cent over the year, the result was well above market consensus, though below the RBA’s forecasts. Dr Lowe said the bank believed headline inflation was now beginning to fall.But of particular concern was the stronger-than-expected underlying result, which suggested strong momentum in prices towards the end of the year.Underlying, or trimmed mean inflation, the RBA’s preferred measure that trims away large price movements, rose a 1.7 per cent over the quarter to 6.9 per cent annually.Dr Lowe said while global factors explained much of the high inflation, “strong domestic demand is adding to the inflationary pressures in a number of areas of the economy”.“Inflation is expected to decline this year due to both global factors and slower growth in domestic demand,” he said.Greens Treasury spokesman Nick McKim implied he was better qualified than the RBA to make monetary policy decisions and called on Treasurer Jim Chalmers to reverse the decision and ask Dr Lowe to resign.“This blast of interest rate increases were never the right response to inflation driven by supply shocks and corporate profiteering,” he said, despite the RBA and Treasury telling him and other Greens senators on multiple occasions that “corporate profiteering” was not a primary cause of inflation and demand-side factors were playing into high inflation.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":405,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9924206772,"gmtCreate":1672258017896,"gmtModify":1676538660860,"author":{"id":"4119226100765382","authorId":"4119226100765382","name":"Linlin noman","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/d4cf1beb7ca43413547c8dde5a4700e0","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4119226100765382","authorIdStr":"4119226100765382"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Of course no one gets&nbsp;it !!!&nbsp;its a scam alll this ape transmaphrodite fake share shit killed amc&nbsp;","listText":"Of course no one gets&nbsp;it !!!&nbsp;its a scam alll this ape transmaphrodite fake share shit killed amc&nbsp;","text":"Of course no one gets it !!! its a scam alll this ape transmaphrodite fake share shit killed amc","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9924206772","repostId":"1184576552","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1184576552","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1672215821,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1184576552?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-12-28 16:23","market":"us","language":"en","title":"AMC Preferred Equity (APE) Units: \"The Market Does Not Get It\"","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1184576552","media":"The Street","summary":"According to a Wall Street bear, the discrepancy between the share price of AMC common stock and its","content":"<html><head></head><body><blockquote>According to a Wall Street bear, the discrepancy between the share price of AMC common stock and its preferred stock (APE) is a sign that the market has not yet understood its purpose.</blockquote><ul><li>In the second quarter of the year, <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AMC\">AMC Entertainment</a> distributed one preferred share to each shareholder for every share they owned as a dividend.</li><li>Since the launch of <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/APE\">AMC Preferred Equity</a> units, there has been a price discrepancy between the common and the preferred stock.</li><li>According to a Wall Street expert, the share price behavior of the APEs sends a message that the market has not understood their purpose.</li></ul><h3>AMC Preferred Shares for Every Single Shareholder</h3><p>During the second quarter of 2022, AMC Entertainment announced the creation of AMC Preferred Equity units (APEs).

While the movie theater operator seems to be recovering nicely from the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and 2021, massive levels of equity dilution could leave investors holding the bag. </p><h2>A difficult past could become a diluted future.</h2><p>Few industries were harder hit by the COVID-19 pandemic than the cinema industry. Not only did consumers avoid the tight spaces and poor ventilation of crowded theaters -- major studios like <b>Walt Disney</b> postponed major films or moved them to their streaming platforms. At the height of the crisis in 2020, AMC&#39;s revenue collapsed by 77% to $1.24 billion against the prior year, and it lost $4.59 billion. </p><p>AMC&#39;s stock was later caught up in the meme stock movement, which involved retail investors buying up heavily shorted companies to try to trigger short squeezes. The company skillfully took advantage of this situation. Instead of over-relying on debt to raise capital during the crisis, it issued new shares at their inflated valuation. As of the second quarter of 2022, AMC has 517 million shares outstanding compared to just 52 million this time in 2019 -- an almost tenfold increase in just three years. </p><p>On the surface, equity dilution can look like a great way out of a bind. And in AMC&#39;s case, management may have made the correct decision to sell more shares instead of only relying on debt that could have posed a bankruptcy risk. </p><p>That said, there is no free lunch. And AMC&#39;s shareholders may end up paying the tab. The more stock a company issues, the less each is worth relative to future earnings. Each share of AMC only represents one-tenth of its prior value, dramatically limiting the stock&#39;s potential upside for investors. </p><h2>What&#39;s next for AMC?</h2><p>AMC&#39;s second-quarter results highlight its rapid recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. Revenue jumped 162% year over year to $1.17 billion, while net losses narrowed from $344 million to $121.6 million. And although the company hasn&#39;t provided firm guidance, management is optimistic about the rest of the year as blockbuster sequels to <i>Black Panther </i>and <i>Avatar </i>hit the box office in the fourth quarter. </p><p>But despite the positive momentum, AMC investors still face significant challenges. On Aug. 4, the company announced a special dividend of one publicly traded <b>AMC Preferred Equity</b> (APE) unit per share of AMC common stock (roughly 517 million units). In September, management inked an agreement to sell an additional 425 million of these new shares. </p><p>These new APE shares look like a sneaky way to dilute equity without touching AMC&#39;s already massively diluted common stock. Investors should see this as a red flag because APE shares have equal voting rights as common stock and will become convertible to common stock in the future if equity investors (including APE holders) approve. </p><h2>Selling AMC is the right move</h2><p>AMC Entertainment&#39;s movie theater business is enjoying a massive rebound after the initial COVID-19 pandemic.

While the movie theater operator seems to be recovering nicely from the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and 2021, massive levels of equity dilution could leave investors holding the bag. A difficult past could become a diluted future.Few industries were harder hit by the COVID-19 pandemic than the cinema industry. Not only did consumers avoid the tight spaces and poor ventilation of crowded theaters -- major studios like Walt Disney postponed major films or moved them to their streaming platforms. At the height of the crisis in 2020, AMC's revenue collapsed by 77% to $1.24 billion against the prior year, and it lost $4.59 billion. AMC's stock was later caught up in the meme stock movement, which involved retail investors buying up heavily shorted companies to try to trigger short squeezes. The company skillfully took advantage of this situation. Instead of over-relying on debt to raise capital during the crisis, it issued new shares at their inflated valuation. As of the second quarter of 2022, AMC has 517 million shares outstanding compared to just 52 million this time in 2019 -- an almost tenfold increase in just three years. On the surface, equity dilution can look like a great way out of a bind. And in AMC's case, management may have made the correct decision to sell more shares instead of only relying on debt that could have posed a bankruptcy risk. That said, there is no free lunch. And AMC's shareholders may end up paying the tab. The more stock a company issues, the less each is worth relative to future earnings. Each share of AMC only represents one-tenth of its prior value, dramatically limiting the stock's potential upside for investors. What's next for AMC?AMC's second-quarter results highlight its rapid recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. Revenue jumped 162% year over year to $1.17 billion, while net losses narrowed from $344 million to $121.6 million. And although the company hasn't provided firm guidance, management is optimistic about the rest of the year as blockbuster sequels to Black Panther and Avatar hit the box office in the fourth quarter. But despite the positive momentum, AMC investors still face significant challenges. On Aug. 4, the company announced a special dividend of one publicly traded AMC Preferred Equity (APE) unit per share of AMC common stock (roughly 517 million units). In September, management inked an agreement to sell an additional 425 million of these new shares. These new APE shares look like a sneaky way to dilute equity without touching AMC's already massively diluted common stock. Investors should see this as a red flag because APE shares have equal voting rights as common stock and will become convertible to common stock in the future if equity investors (including APE holders) approve. Selling AMC is the right moveAMC Entertainment's movie theater business is enjoying a massive rebound after the initial COVID-19 pandemic. But investors could still be left holding the short end of the stick. Shares outstanding have increased almost tenfold in the previous three years, and the issuance of the new APE preferred shares could make that dilution significantly worse over the long term. Investors should strongly consider selling this stock.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":78,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9934222131,"gmtCreate":1663260634523,"gmtModify":1676537239054,"author":{"id":"4119226100765382","authorId":"4119226100765382","name":"Linlin noman","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/d4cf1beb7ca43413547c8dde5a4700e0","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4119226100765382","authorIdStr":"4119226100765382"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/S/AZJ.AU\">$Aurizon Holdings Ltd(AZJ.AU)$</a>","listText":"<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/S/AZJ.AU\">$Aurizon Holdings Ltd(AZJ.AU)$</a>","text":"$Aurizon Holdings Ltd(AZJ.AU)$","images":[{"img":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/1aa72667f2cc7aecfa79c9077dbf94d7","width":"750","height":"1606"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9934222131","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":147,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9934222098,"gmtCreate":1663260356117,"gmtModify":1676537239022,"author":{"id":"4119226100765382","authorId":"4119226100765382","name":"Linlin noman","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/d4cf1beb7ca43413547c8dde5a4700e0","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4119226100765382","authorIdStr":"4119226100765382"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/S/HYMC\">$Hycroft Mining Holding Corporation(HYMC)$</a>","listText":"<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/S/HYMC\">$Hycroft Mining Holding Corporation(HYMC)$</a>","text":"$Hycroft Mining Holding Corporation(HYMC)$","images":[{"img":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/4cd72e96461ed08d6d466a0acfc8af2f","width":"750","height":"1174"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9934222098","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":301,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9996308936,"gmtCreate":1661123159528,"gmtModify":1676536454387,"author":{"id":"4119226100765382","authorId":"4119226100765382","name":"Linlin noman","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/d4cf1beb7ca43413547c8dde5a4700e0","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4119226100765382","authorIdStr":"4119226100765382"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Popcorn our beloved ceo !!!

The movie-the","content":"<font class=\"NormalMinus1\" face=\"Arial\">\n<pre>\nBy Connor Smith \n</pre>\n<p>\n     AMC Entertainment is finally giving the \"apes\" what they want. The movie-theater company paired its second-quarter earnings report with news that it's giving shareholders a special dividend of AMC Preferred Equity Units. \n</p>\n<p>\n     The AMC preferred shares will trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker \"APE\" starting Aug. 22. AMC (ticker: AMC) said it would issue 516.82 million APE shares -- one for every share of common stock outstanding. The preferred shares would be convertible to common shares, but only if AMC shareholders vote to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock. AMC last year pulled a request to shareholders to increase its potential share count, citing a lack of support among investors. \n</p>\n<p>\n     The Wall Street Journal, citing a person familiar with the matter, reported that the preferred equity units would enable the company to work around constraints placed on selling common shares. The firm could sell an additional 4.5 billion APE units after handing out the initial 517 million, the Journal notes. AMC struggled amid pandemic, selling millions of shares in 2021 to help stay afloat while theaters remained shut down. \n</p>\n<p>\n     The special dividend will go to shareholders of record on Aug. 15, and be paid on the close of business on Aug. 19. The ex-dividend date is Aug. 22. If you sell your AMC shares between Aug. 16 and Aug. 22, the person you sold to is entitled to the preferred shares, though AMC suggests investors trading during this period consult their broker. \n</p>\n<p>\n     A share or non-fungible token dividend has been a popular request among some AMC shareholders on sites like Twitter and Reddit. Such users, who call themselves \"apes\" often spread conspiracy theories about fake AMC and GameStop shares. The Journal, citing the person familiar, reported that the company hopes the dividend, which will be given to legitimate shareholders, will put such theories about fake shares to rest. Shareholders on AMC's investor connect site will also receive an NFT. \n</p>\n<p>\n     An AMC spokesman didn't return a request seeking comment on the Journal report. \n</p>\n<p>\n     AMC CEO Adam Aron, in the announcement, called the preferred dividend exclusively to shareholders \"perhaps the single biggest action we will take in all of 2022 to fundamentally strengthen AMC for the long term.\" \n</p>\n<p>\n     \"This new AMC Preferred Equity gives AMC a currency that can be used in the future to strengthen our balance sheet, including by paying down debt or raising fresh equity,\" Aron said. \"As a result, this dramatically lessens any near-term survival risk for AMC, as we continue to work our way through this pandemic.\" \n</p>\n<p>\n     AMC also reported a second-quarter net loss of $121.6 million, or 24 cents a share on revenue of $1.2 billion. Analysts were expecting sales of $1.17 billion, according to FactSet. The firm's non-GAAP net loss was 20 cents a share and topped consensus estimates for an adjusted loss of 23 cents a share, according to FactSet. Aron noted its investment in Nevada gold and silver miner Hycroft Mining (HYCM) led to write-downs.

The movie-theater company paired its second-quarter earnings report with news that it's giving shareholders a special dividend of AMC Preferred Equity Units. \n</p>\n<p>\n     The AMC preferred shares will trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker \"APE\" starting Aug. 22. AMC (ticker: AMC) said it would issue 516.82 million APE shares -- one for every share of common stock outstanding. The preferred shares would be convertible to common shares, but only if AMC shareholders vote to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock. AMC last year pulled a request to shareholders to increase its potential share count, citing a lack of support among investors. \n</p>\n<p>\n     The Wall Street Journal, citing a person familiar with the matter, reported that the preferred equity units would enable the company to work around constraints placed on selling common shares. The firm could sell an additional 4.5 billion APE units after handing out the initial 517 million, the Journal notes. AMC struggled amid pandemic, selling millions of shares in 2021 to help stay afloat while theaters remained shut down. \n</p>\n<p>\n     The special dividend will go to shareholders of record on Aug. 15, and be paid on the close of business on Aug. 19. The ex-dividend date is Aug. 22. If you sell your AMC shares between Aug. 16 and Aug. 22, the person you sold to is entitled to the preferred shares, though AMC suggests investors trading during this period consult their broker. \n</p>\n<p>\n     A share or non-fungible token dividend has been a popular request among some AMC shareholders on sites like Twitter and Reddit. Such users, who call themselves \"apes\" often spread conspiracy theories about fake AMC and GameStop shares. The Journal, citing the person familiar, reported that the company hopes the dividend, which will be given to legitimate shareholders, will put such theories about fake shares to rest. Shareholders on AMC's investor connect site will also receive an NFT. \n</p>\n<p>\n     An AMC spokesman didn't return a request seeking comment on the Journal report. \n</p>\n<p>\n     AMC CEO Adam Aron, in the announcement, called the preferred dividend exclusively to shareholders \"perhaps the single biggest action we will take in all of 2022 to fundamentally strengthen AMC for the long term.\" \n</p>\n<p>\n     \"This new AMC Preferred Equity gives AMC a currency that can be used in the future to strengthen our balance sheet, including by paying down debt or raising fresh equity,\" Aron said. \"As a result, this dramatically lessens any near-term survival risk for AMC, as we continue to work our way through this pandemic.\" \n</p>\n<p>\n     AMC also reported a second-quarter net loss of $121.6 million, or 24 cents a share on revenue of $1.2 billion. Analysts were expecting sales of $1.17 billion, according to FactSet. The firm's non-GAAP net loss was 20 cents a share and topped consensus estimates for an adjusted loss of 23 cents a share, according to FactSet. Aron noted its investment in Nevada gold and silver miner Hycroft Mining (HYCM) led to write-downs.
