The RBA is expected to leave the 4.35 per cent cash rate on hold on December 5 and markets imply a 68 per cent chance of a rate increase by June.At a central banking conference in Hong Kong, Reserve Bank governor Michele Bullock said household finances were holding up despite the central bank’s 13 interest rate rises, warning it is “very uncertain” whether inflation would return to target by the end of 2025.In stock news, the S&P/ASX 200 gained 0.4 per cent or 27.6 points to 7015.2 and the All Ordinaries also advanced 0.4 per cent.The main benchmark was on track to post a 3.5 per cent gain in November, the second-largest monthly rise this year.

Brent crude bounced 0.1 per cent ahead of an OPEC+ meeting this week that may result in production cuts.St Barbara leapt 8 per cent to 20¢ and Regis Resources as well as Northern Star Resources jumped more than 3.5 per cent as gold prices climbed above $US2000 on expectations that the US Federal Reserve was done raising interest rates.Origin dropped 0.7 per cent to $8.47 after flagging LNG delivery delays due to a power outage on a loaded ship in Queensland. AustralianSuper reiterated its opposition at the Financial Review CFO Live summit to Brookfield and EIG Partners’ proposed $18 billion-plus acquisition of Origin, saying the latest offer left value on the cutting room floor.Collins Foods soared 9 per cent to $11.01 following strong results and a higher interim dividend.

This forces short sellers to cover their positions by buying the asset, which in turn drives the price even higher.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">While there&#39;s no guaranteed formula for triggering a short squeeze, certain conditions and setups can increase the likelihood of one occurring, such as:</p><ul style=\"\"><li><p>High short interest: This means that a significant portion of a stock&#39;s float (the total number of shares available for trading) has been sold short by investors betting on a price decline. The higher the short interest, the greater the potential for a short squeeze.</p></li><li><p>Limited number of shares available: When there are not enough shares to trade or borrow to sell short, it can amplify the impact of a short squeeze.

This forces short sellers to cover their positions by buying the asset, which in turn drives the price even higher.While there's no guaranteed formula for triggering a short squeeze, certain conditions and setups can increase the likelihood of one occurring, such as:High short interest: This means that a significant portion of a stock's float (the total number of shares available for trading) has been sold short by investors betting on a price decline. The higher the short interest, the greater the potential for a short squeeze.Limited number of shares available: When there are not enough shares to trade or borrow to sell short, it can amplify the impact of a short squeeze. When fewer shares are available, it can be more difficult for short sellers to cover their positions without dramatically driving up the price.Cost-to-borrow: A scarcity of shares available for borrowing generates higher fees for short sellers. When there is too much demand for short trades, borrowing fees can skyrocket, leaving short sellers more vulnerable to covering positions.Technical breakouts: Stocks trading near support levels or severely oversold can attract both short-term and long-term traders, leading to increased buying pressure.Liquidity and trading volume: These two factors lead to greater volatility in price movement, usually motivated by a specific catalyst that drives investor sentiment.AMC's Current SetupThe recent phenomenon of short squeezes has been closely associated with stocks like AMC Entertainment due primarily to its immense popularity among retail investors during the meme frenzy that started in January 2021.In fact, as outlined in the company's Form 10-K, this represents one of the principal risks associated with its shares:“Volatility in our shares of our common stock by a 'short squeeze' in which coordinated trading activity causes a spike in the market price of our common stock as traders with a short position make market purchases to avoid or to mitigate potential losses, investors purchase at inflated prices unrelated to our financial performance or prospects, and may thereafter suffer substantial losses as prices decline once the level of short-covering purchases has abated.”Until very recently this year, AMC met all the criteria indicative of a short squeeze setup. However, following the conversion of APEs (AMC preferred units) into common shares, which resulted in the dilution of the float and consequently pushed down AMC's share price, short interest has substantially declined.According to data from Ortex, approximately 12.5% of the free float is currently being shorted, with a cost-to-borrow of 6.3% and a utilization rate of 59%.AMC's short interest and shares on loan.These figures are notably different from the period before the court approved the settlement for the execution of the APE conversion on August 11, when AMC had approximately 27% short interest and borrowing fees skyrocketed to an astonishing 1,000%.The Bottom LineA significant portion of the high demand for shorting AMC stemmed from arbitrage traders who were betting on the price convergence between AMC's common and preferred stock — with common shares being on the short end of the trade.

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. Looking ahead, shareholders are going to want to see signs that the company is filling seats and selling snacks. That won’t be easy, according to Wedbush analyst Alicia Reese.</p><p>“AMC still faces uncertainty given the ongoing SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes. If they go on for months longer, then AMC and other theaters could face sizable release slate holes next year, limiting their revenue and earnings potential in 2024,” Reese wrote in an Aug. 14 research note. “That said, this should be a short-term issue for them overall, and we would expect trends to remain favorable over the long term.”</p></body></html>","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>AMC Stock: Behind the Memes, APEs, Conversions, and Splits</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\">\nAMC Stock: Behind the Memes, APEs, Conversions, and Splits\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n<div class=\"head\" \">\n\n\n<div class=\"h-thumb\" style=\"background-image:url(https://static.tigerbbs.com/150f88aa4d182df19190059f4a365e99);background-size:cover;\"></div>\n\n<div class=\"h-content\">\n<p class=\"h-name\">Dow Jones </p>\n<p class=\"h-time\">2023-08-24 14:07</p>\n</div>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<html><head></head><body><p style=\"text-align: start;\">AMC Entertainment Holdings is a movie theater chain, but not like any other.

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. But no matter what, this is a volatile situation and investors should tread cautiously.</p></body></html>","source":"seekingalpha","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>AMC Entertainment's APE Conversion: No More Monkey Business</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\">\nAMC Entertainment's APE Conversion: No More Monkey Business\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2023-08-16 20:20 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4628637-amc-entertainments-ape-conversion-no-more-monkey-business><strong>Seeking Alpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>SummaryA court has approved a settlement offer between AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. and investors, allowing the conversion of preferred equity units into common stock.The settlement will result in...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4628637-amc-entertainments-ape-conversion-no-more-monkey-business\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"AMC":"AMC院线","BK4547":"WSB热门概念","BK4108":"电影和娱乐","APE":"AMC Entertainment Preferred"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4628637-amc-entertainments-ape-conversion-no-more-monkey-business","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/5a36db9d73b4222bc376d24ccc48c8a4","article_id":"2359844863","content_text":"SummaryA court has approved a settlement offer between AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. and investors, allowing the conversion of preferred equity units into common stock.The settlement will result in a reverse stock split and a decrease in the number of common shares, potentially leading to a convergence in prices between common stock and preferred equity units.The future of AMC Entertainment remains uncertain, with structural issues and a lack of true growth in the movie theater industry.

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":329,"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.

Each AMC shareholder received one APE share for every AMC share they owned.</p><p>According to the movie theater chain, it was one of the biggest developments of the year.</p><p>The main purpose of the APEs was to allow AMC to raise capital to pay off its debt load. In addition, the money raised would also be useful for merger and acquisition funds and would be key to AMC&#39;s long-term prospects.</p><p>At first, the creation of APEs may have sounded bearish to shareholders, who feared the further dilution of AMC shares.</p><p>Since the APEs began trading publicly, their share price has dropped more than 80%, from $6.95 to less than $1 per share today. APE is now a penny stock.</p><h3>The Market Is &#34;Not Getting&#34; the APEs</h3><p>The difference in share price between AMC&#39;s common stock and preferred shares is no doubt something that has drawn attention on Wall Street. After all, in theory, the assets are the same piece of paper.</p><p>Wedbush analyst Michael Pachter, who primarily covers gaming stocks — including GameStop  (GME) - Get Free Report — made some comments regarding AMC&#39;s preferred shares probably because of the &#34;meme&#34; issue behind the stock.</p><p>As Pachter pointed out, preferred shares are useful when a company declares bankruptcy and needs to pay its creditors. Thus, what is left of the company goes to those shareholders who own these preferred shares.</p><p>However, AMC&#39;s initiative to distribute preferred shares to each of its shareholders makes preferred shares lose their meaning, according to the Wedbush analyst.</p><p>Pachter also said that because APEs are depreciating faster than AMC common shares, this may be a sign that there is some confusion in the market.</p><blockquote>&#34;The market doesn&#39;t quite get it at all, and they&#39;re bidding down the preferred, but they&#39;re all going to go down together.&#34;</blockquote><h3>Wedbush&#39;s Worries About AMC&#39;s Debt</h3><p>Pachter&#39;s colleague Alicia Reese, who covers AMC stock, shares his bearish sentiment toward the company.

Each AMC shareholder received one APE share for every AMC share they owned.According to the movie theater chain, it was one of the biggest developments of the year.The main purpose of the APEs was to allow AMC to raise capital to pay off its debt load. In addition, the money raised would also be useful for merger and acquisition funds and would be key to AMC's long-term prospects.At first, the creation of APEs may have sounded bearish to shareholders, who feared the further dilution of AMC shares.Since the APEs began trading publicly, their share price has dropped more than 80%, from $6.95 to less than $1 per share today. APE is now a penny stock.The Market Is \"Not Getting\" the APEsThe difference in share price between AMC's common stock and preferred shares is no doubt something that has drawn attention on Wall Street. After all, in theory, the assets are the same piece of paper.Wedbush analyst Michael Pachter, who primarily covers gaming stocks — including GameStop  (GME) - Get Free Report — made some comments regarding AMC's preferred shares probably because of the \"meme\" issue behind the stock.As Pachter pointed out, preferred shares are useful when a company declares bankruptcy and needs to pay its creditors. Thus, what is left of the company goes to those shareholders who own these preferred shares.However, AMC's initiative to distribute preferred shares to each of its shareholders makes preferred shares lose their meaning, according to the Wedbush analyst.Pachter also said that because APEs are depreciating faster than AMC common shares, this may be a sign that there is some confusion in the market.\"The market doesn't quite get it at all, and they're bidding down the preferred, but they're all going to go down together.\"Wedbush's Worries About AMC's DebtPachter's colleague Alicia Reese, who covers AMC stock, shares his bearish sentiment toward the company. According to Reese, AMC shares should be worth $2 based on its business fundamentals.After the latest third-quarter earnings release, the Wedbush analyst saw AMC missing a golden opportunity to write down or pay down some of its debt, which reached $5.4 billion when the APE units were first issued.However, as AMC recently announced, in the last three months, about 3% of the APE units have been sold, allowing AMC to raise $160 million in cash.The movie theater chain took advantage of this to repurchase about $36 million in principal debt at a 61% discount. This, added to the company's refinancing in 2022, reduces the company's total debt by $180 million.Finally, according to Alicia Reese, AMC should make it a priority to pay off its debts and dive deeper into its partnership with IMAX. Reese also said that AMC needs to avoid \"distractions\" from its various new businesses and ventures, such as its popcorn branded for retail and credit card sales.The Bottom LineArguably, analysts and the so-called \"smart money\" do their jobs by analyzing stocks based on their business fundamentals. AMC's business still has many challenges ahead, especially in proving sustainability concerning its debt and liquidity.However, the initiative of AMC's management to issue APEs as a kind of currency to raise money seems to have been a great move. Capitalizing on the considerable short-term headwinds facing the movie theater industry and the American economy as a whole seems prudent, to say the least.During the past year, several Wall Street analysts had predicted that AMC would become a penny stock.

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.

AMC (ticker: AMC) said it would issue 516.82 million APE shares -- one for every share of common stock outstanding.

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.

However, following the conversion of APEs (AMC preferred units) into common shares, which resulted in the dilution of the float and consequently pushed down AMC&#39;s share price, short interest has substantially declined.</p><p>According to data from Ortex, approximately 12.5% of the free float is currently being shorted, with a cost-to-borrow of 6.3% and a utilization rate of 59%.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/158871b5ac7d0a033f575f999d5b1f39\" alt=\"AMC&#39;s short interest and shares on loan.\" title=\"AMC&#39;s short interest and shares on loan.\" tg-width=\"1200\" tg-height=\"978\"/><span>AMC&#39;s short interest and shares on loan.</span></p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">These figures are notably different from the period before the court approved the settlement for the execution of the APE conversion on August 11, when AMC had approximately 27% short interest and borrowing fees skyrocketed to an astonishing 1,000%.</p><h2 id=\"the-bottom-line\" style=\"text-align: start;\">The Bottom Line</h2><p style=\"text-align: start;\">A significant portion of the high demand for shorting AMC stemmed from arbitrage traders who were betting on the price convergence between AMC&#39;s common and preferred stock — with common shares being on the short end of the trade. As the conversion occurred, the value of AMC shares dropped, resulting in profits for short sellers.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Although there is still a significant level of short interest in AMC shares, the current setup is less conducive to a short squeeze. This is primarily because AMC has already reached its all-time lows, making further downside potentially less appealing to short sellers.</p><p>However, it&#39;s important to note that trading volume has remained consistently high throughout September (illustrated through the green and red bars in the chart below), suggesting ongoing volatility and persistent risks for short sellers. Additionally, technical breakout points indicate that AMC shares are deeply oversold, further adding to the complexity of the situation.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7f6f76051ceef80daf3240ec0d6f5970\" alt=\"AMC&#39;s performance since August 21.\" title=\"AMC&#39;s performance since August 21.\" tg-width=\"1200\" tg-height=\"684\"/><span>AMC&#39;s performance since August 21.</span></p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">It&#39;s worth noting that the investment thesis regarding AMC has shifted toward a focus on the company&#39;s fundamentals rather than simply aiming to profit from crushing excess short demand.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">The movie theater chain has bolstered its liquidity position by issuing new equity and has reported strong quarterly box-office results. These results are expected to lead the company back to pre-pandemic revenue levels in the near future.</p></body></html>","source":"lsy1610613172068","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>How Likely Is AMC Stock to Undergo Another 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\">\nHow Likely Is AMC Stock to Undergo Another Short Squeeze?\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2023-09-28 16:46 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.thestreet.com/memestocks/amc/how-likely-is-amc-stock-to-undergo-another-short-squeeze-><strong>The Street</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>AMC, closely associated with recent short squeeze phenomena, saw a decline in short interest following the conversion of preferred units into common shares, which diluted the stock's float and lowered...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.thestreet.com/memestocks/amc/how-likely-is-amc-stock-to-undergo-another-short-squeeze-\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"AMC":"AMC院线"},"source_url":"https://www.thestreet.com/memestocks/amc/how-likely-is-amc-stock-to-undergo-another-short-squeeze-","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1125284354","content_text":"AMC, closely associated with recent short squeeze phenomena, saw a decline in short interest following the conversion of preferred units into common shares, which diluted the stock's float and lowered its share price.Despite some remaining short interest, the current setup in AMC is less favorable for a short squeeze due to the stock's all-time low price, but high trading volume and technical factors contribute to ongoing volatility.AMC EntertainmentThe Short Squeeze SetupFirst of all, for a short squeeze to occur in the stock market, a heavily shorted stock must experience a rapid and significant increase in price.

When there is too much demand for short trades, borrowing fees can skyrocket, leaving short sellers more vulnerable to covering positions.Technical breakouts: Stocks trading near support levels or severely oversold can attract both short-term and long-term traders, leading to increased buying pressure.Liquidity and trading volume: These two factors lead to greater volatility in price movement, usually motivated by a specific catalyst that drives investor sentiment.AMC's Current SetupThe recent phenomenon of short squeezes has been closely associated with stocks like AMC Entertainment due primarily to its immense popularity among retail investors during the meme frenzy that started in January 2021.In fact, as outlined in the company's Form 10-K, this represents one of the principal risks associated with its shares:“Volatility in our shares of our common stock by a 'short squeeze' in which coordinated trading activity causes a spike in the market price of our common stock as traders with a short position make market purchases to avoid or to mitigate potential losses, investors purchase at inflated prices unrelated to our financial performance or prospects, and may thereafter suffer substantial losses as prices decline once the level of short-covering purchases has abated.”Until very recently this year, AMC met all the criteria indicative of a short squeeze setup. However, following the conversion of APEs (AMC preferred units) into common shares, which resulted in the dilution of the float and consequently pushed down AMC's share price, short interest has substantially declined.According to data from Ortex, approximately 12.5% of the free float is currently being shorted, with a cost-to-borrow of 6.3% and a utilization rate of 59%.AMC's short interest and shares on loan.These figures are notably different from the period before the court approved the settlement for the execution of the APE conversion on August 11, when AMC had approximately 27% short interest and borrowing fees skyrocketed to an astonishing 1,000%.The Bottom LineA significant portion of the high demand for shorting AMC stemmed from arbitrage traders who were betting on the price convergence between AMC's common and preferred stock — with common shares being on the short end of the trade. As the conversion occurred, the value of AMC shares dropped, resulting in profits for short sellers.Although there is still a significant level of short interest in AMC shares, the current setup is less conducive to a short squeeze. This is primarily because AMC has already reached its all-time lows, making further downside potentially less appealing to short sellers.However, it's important to note that trading volume has remained consistently high throughout September (illustrated through the green and red bars in the chart below), suggesting ongoing volatility and persistent risks for short sellers. Additionally, technical breakout points indicate that AMC shares are deeply oversold, further adding to the complexity of the situation.AMC's performance since August 21.It's worth noting that the investment thesis regarding AMC has shifted toward a focus on the company's fundamentals rather than simply aiming to profit from crushing excess short demand.The movie theater chain has bolstered its liquidity position by issuing new equity and has reported strong quarterly box-office results. These results are expected to lead the company back to pre-pandemic revenue levels in the near future.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":187,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"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":314,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":247018821292256,"gmtCreate":1701332710241,"gmtModify":1701333261354,"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":"Only reason why AA&nbsp;popcorn and amc are recovering&nbsp;because of counterfeit shares and naked shorts ape was a fraud nothing else !!!","listText":"Only reason why AA&nbsp;popcorn and amc are recovering&nbsp;because of counterfeit shares and naked shorts ape was a fraud nothing else !!!","text":"Only reason why AA popcorn and amc are recovering because of counterfeit shares and naked shorts ape was a fraud nothing else !!!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/247018821292256","repostId":"2386114334","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2386114334","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1701316684,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2386114334?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2023-11-30 11:58","market":"us","language":"en","title":"AMC Stock Outlook: Don’t Wait Around for a Second or Third Act","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2386114334","media":"InvestorPlace","summary":"AMC Entertainment's outspoken CEO might brag about the company's quarterly performance, but another AMC stock sale should raise concerns.","content":"<html><head></head><body><ul style=\"\"><li><p><strong>AMC Entertainment’s</strong> (<strong>AMC</strong>) seemingly positive earnings reported depended heavily on the <em>Barbie</em> movie.</p></li></ul><ul style=\"\"><li><p>AMC Entertainment disappointed investors with another stock offering.</p></li><li><p>Investors should be very cautious with AMC stock.</p></li></ul><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a200a803568801e0e017cac44094063b\" alt=\"Source: Ira Lichi / Shutterstock.com\" title=\"Source: Ira Lichi / Shutterstock.com\" tg-width=\"768\" tg-height=\"432\"/><span>Source: Ira Lichi / Shutterstock.com</span></p><p>Plenty of fans, known as “Apes,” are rooting for <strong>AMC Entertainment </strong>(NYSE:<strong>AMC</strong>) to succeed in 2024.

The RBA is expected to leave the 4.35 per cent cash rate on hold on December 5 and markets imply a 68 per cent chance of a rate increase by June.At a central banking conference in Hong Kong, Reserve Bank governor Michele Bullock said household finances were holding up despite the central bank’s 13 interest rate rises, warning it is “very uncertain” whether inflation would return to target by the end of 2025.In stock news, the S&P/ASX 200 gained 0.4 per cent or 27.6 points to 7015.2 and the All Ordinaries also advanced 0.4 per cent.The main benchmark was on track to post a 3.5 per cent gain in November, the second-largest monthly rise this year.

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.

The odds aren’t great, so exercise caution if you’re thinking about investing in AMC Entertainment now.</p><h2 id=\"id_2493895443\">AMC Stock Traders: Listen to the CEO</h2><p>AMC Entertainment CEO Adam Aron is a vocal cheerleader for the company. He has embraced his position as leader of AMC Entertainment fans, known as “Apes.”</p><p>Yet, even the chief executive has disclosed warnings about AMC Entertainment. In particular, Aron admitted, “Moviegoing in 2023 still will be well below 2019 pre-COVID levels” despite the success of the <em>Barbie</em> movie.</p><p>In addition, Aron acknowledged that the “writers and actors strikes create uncertainty ahead. And cash is very tight.” How tight? As of March 31, AMC Entertainment’s cash position was down to $495.6 million, as compared to $631.5 million at the same time in 2022.</p><p>Plus, in an open letter posted on social media, Aron warned about what could happen if AMC Entertainment could not raise equity capital quickly</p><p>“[T]he risk materially increases of AMC conceivably running out of cash in 2024 or 2025, or of AMC being unable to satisfactorily refinance and stretch out the maturity of some of our debt (which is required of us beginning as early as 2024),” he wrote.</p><h2 id=\"id_1015926870\">AMC Raises Capital, but at What Cost?</h2><p>Those weren’t the only warnings issued by AMC Entertainment, by the way. For instance, the company has stated that buying AMC stock is “highly speculative and involves risk.”</p><p>AMC Entertainment declared that its shareholders should be “prepared to incur the risk of losing all or a substantial portion of your investment.” Are you really willing to take on risk of that magnitude?</p><p>Granted, AMC Entertainment did shore up its balance sheet somewhat when the company recently raised approximately $325.5 million. In order to achieve this, though, AMC Entertainment printed and sold 40 million stock shares.</p><p>Even the loyal “Apes” and meme stock traders must admit that this is an imperfect way to raise capital. Surely, current AMC Entertainment investors weren’t thrilled about the prospect of share value dilution.</p><p>Remember, Benchmark analyst Mike Hickey noted that “AMC is expected to report a full-year 2023 loss of $386 million.”</p><p>Is it realistic to think that this will be AMC Entertainment’s last large-scale share sale?</p><p>Not likely.

The glory days of meme stocks may be in the rear-view mirror, however.Now, AMC stock is in a terrible downtrend and the best rating it deserves in 2023 is a “D.”Sure, there will be blockbuster films from time to time. Will Barbie and Taylor Swift be enough to save AMC Entertainment from its financial problems, though? The odds aren’t great, so exercise caution if you’re thinking about investing in AMC Entertainment now.AMC Stock Traders: Listen to the CEOAMC Entertainment CEO Adam Aron is a vocal cheerleader for the company. He has embraced his position as leader of AMC Entertainment fans, known as “Apes.”Yet, even the chief executive has disclosed warnings about AMC Entertainment. In particular, Aron admitted, “Moviegoing in 2023 still will be well below 2019 pre-COVID levels” despite the success of the Barbie movie.In addition, Aron acknowledged that the “writers and actors strikes create uncertainty ahead. And cash is very tight.” How tight? As of March 31, AMC Entertainment’s cash position was down to $495.6 million, as compared to $631.5 million at the same time in 2022.Plus, in an open letter posted on social media, Aron warned about what could happen if AMC Entertainment could not raise equity capital quickly“[T]he risk materially increases of AMC conceivably running out of cash in 2024 or 2025, or of AMC being unable to satisfactorily refinance and stretch out the maturity of some of our debt (which is required of us beginning as early as 2024),” he wrote.AMC Raises Capital, but at What Cost?Those weren’t the only warnings issued by AMC Entertainment, by the way. For instance, the company has stated that buying AMC stock is “highly speculative and involves risk.”AMC Entertainment declared that its shareholders should be “prepared to incur the risk of losing all or a substantial portion of your investment.” Are you really willing to take on risk of that magnitude?Granted, AMC Entertainment did shore up its balance sheet somewhat when the company recently raised approximately $325.5 million. In order to achieve this, though, AMC Entertainment printed and sold 40 million stock shares.Even the loyal “Apes” and meme stock traders must admit that this is an imperfect way to raise capital. Surely, current AMC Entertainment investors weren’t thrilled about the prospect of share value dilution.Remember, Benchmark analyst Mike Hickey noted that “AMC is expected to report a full-year 2023 loss of $386 million.”Is it realistic to think that this will be AMC Entertainment’s last large-scale share sale?Not likely. Given the company’s challenging financial position, it’s likely that AMC Entertainment will engage in further dilutive activities sooner or later.AMC Stock: This Movie Could Have a Bad EndingAMC Entertainment has acknowledged that the company is in a tough position, financially speaking. Printing and selling shares is a short-term fix, but it’s not a perfect solution.Ultimately, AMC Entertainment will need more than Barbie, Taylor Swift and share sales to shore up its capital position for the long term. Therefore, AMC stock get a “D” grade and isn’t a highly recommended investment for 2023.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":187,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":222782637789344,"gmtCreate":1695417842316,"gmtModify":1695417844745,"author":{"id":"4119226100765382","authorId":"4119226100765382","name":"Linlin noman","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/d4cf1beb7ca43413547c8dde5a4700e0","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4119226100765382","authorIdStr":"4119226100765382"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/S/FNGR\">$FingerMotion, Inc.(FNGR)$&nbsp;</a>","listText":"<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/S/FNGR\">$FingerMotion, Inc.(FNGR)$&nbsp;</a>","text":"$FingerMotion, Inc.(FNGR)$","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/222782637789344","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":481,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":212469145465040,"gmtCreate":1692912326279,"gmtModify":1692912332487,"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":"What a shame AA , amc shareholder saved your company more then once ,and now&nbsp;&nbsp;we get spit in the face , again,&nbsp;how many shareholder did really vote for this sh** to happen , hopefully karma will get amc 😘","listText":"What a shame AA , amc shareholder saved your company more then once ,and now&nbsp;&nbsp;we get spit in the face , again,&nbsp;how many shareholder did really vote for this sh** to happen , hopefully karma will get amc 😘","text":"What a shame AA , amc shareholder saved your company more then once ,and now we get spit in the face , again, how many shareholder did really vote for this sh** to happen , hopefully karma will get amc 😘","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/212469145465040","repostId":"2361608347","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2361608347","kind":"highlight","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Dow Jones publishes the world’s most trusted business news and financial information in a variety of media.","home_visible":0,"media_name":"Dow Jones","id":"106","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/150f88aa4d182df19190059f4a365e99"},"pubTimestamp":1692857263,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2361608347?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2023-08-24 14:07","market":"us","language":"en","title":"AMC Stock: Behind the Memes, APEs, Conversions, and Splits","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2361608347","media":"Dow Jones","summary":"AMC Entertainment Holdings is a movie theater chain, but not like any other.

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. Looking ahead, shareholders are going to want to see signs that the company is filling seats and selling snacks. That won’t be easy, according to Wedbush analyst Alicia Reese.</p><p>“AMC still faces uncertainty given the ongoing SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes. If they go on for months longer, then AMC and other theaters could face sizable release slate holes next year, limiting their revenue and earnings potential in 2024,” Reese wrote in an Aug. 14 research note. “That said, this should be a short-term issue for them overall, and we would expect trends to remain favorable over the long term.”</p></body></html>","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>AMC Stock: Behind the Memes, APEs, Conversions, and Splits</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\">\nAMC Stock: Behind the Memes, APEs, Conversions, and Splits\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n<div class=\"head\" \">\n\n\n<div class=\"h-thumb\" style=\"background-image:url(https://static.tigerbbs.com/150f88aa4d182df19190059f4a365e99);background-size:cover;\"></div>\n\n<div class=\"h-content\">\n<p class=\"h-name\">Dow Jones </p>\n<p class=\"h-time\">2023-08-24 14:07</p>\n</div>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<html><head></head><body><p style=\"text-align: start;\">AMC Entertainment Holdings is a movie theater chain, but not like any other.

The recent buzz around the stock and its so-called APE shares seems to be getting more attention than any films shown in the last few years.AMC’s APE shares will be converted into common stock on Friday.Meme stock AMC (ticker: AMC) will conclude a 10-for-1 reverse stock split on Thursday, and then its preferred equity units will convert to common stock on Friday. But what does this all mean and why has the stock tumbled in the days leading up to the big moves?How We Got HereAMC 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.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.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.AMC needed a solution to gain more cash to pay off its debt while keeping investors happy. That’s where the APEs came in.Explaining the APEs and the ConversionAMC 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.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.For an explanation, we turned to Tom Bruni, senior writer at StockTwits, a social-media platform designed for sharing ideas between investors.“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.“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.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.The Reason AMC Stock Is Trading LowerAMC 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.”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.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.What’s Next for AMC“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.”AMC is more than just a meme stock: it’s a movie theater company that needs to sell tickets and concessions to survive. Looking ahead, shareholders are going to want to see signs that the company is filling seats and selling snacks. That won’t be easy, according to Wedbush analyst Alicia Reese.“AMC still faces uncertainty given the ongoing SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes. If they go on for months longer, then AMC and other theaters could face sizable release slate holes next year, limiting their revenue and earnings potential in 2024,” Reese wrote in an Aug. 14 research note. “That said, this should be a short-term issue for them overall, and we would expect trends to remain favorable over the long term.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":318,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":209787078774984,"gmtCreate":1692257389062,"gmtModify":1692257767919,"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":"Ape is a fraud ,&nbsp;nothing else&nbsp;","listText":"Ape is a fraud ,&nbsp;nothing else&nbsp;","text":"Ape is a fraud , nothing else","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/209787078774984","repostId":"2359844863","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2359844863","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1692188438,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2359844863?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2023-08-16 20:20","market":"us","language":"en","title":"AMC Entertainment's APE Conversion: No More Monkey Business","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2359844863","media":"Seeking Alpha","summary":"lisegagne From time to time, markets can behave very irrationally.

This doesn&#39;t mean that there is not some sort of upside for the preferred equity units.

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. But no matter what, this is a volatile situation and investors should tread cautiously.</p></body></html>","source":"seekingalpha","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>AMC Entertainment's APE Conversion: No More Monkey Business</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\">\nAMC Entertainment's APE Conversion: No More Monkey Business\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2023-08-16 20:20 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4628637-amc-entertainments-ape-conversion-no-more-monkey-business><strong>Seeking Alpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>SummaryA court has approved a settlement offer between AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. and investors, allowing the conversion of preferred equity units into common stock.The settlement will result in...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4628637-amc-entertainments-ape-conversion-no-more-monkey-business\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"AMC":"AMC院线","BK4547":"WSB热门概念","BK4108":"电影和娱乐","APE":"AMC Entertainment Preferred"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4628637-amc-entertainments-ape-conversion-no-more-monkey-business","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/5a36db9d73b4222bc376d24ccc48c8a4","article_id":"2359844863","content_text":"SummaryA court has approved a settlement offer between AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. and investors, allowing the conversion of preferred equity units into common stock.The settlement will result in a reverse stock split and a decrease in the number of common shares, potentially leading to a convergence in prices between common stock and preferred equity units.The future of AMC Entertainment remains uncertain, with structural issues and a lack of true growth in the movie theater industry.

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":329,"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.

Each AMC shareholder received one APE share for every AMC share they owned.</p><p>According to the movie theater chain, it was one of the biggest developments of the year.</p><p>The main purpose of the APEs was to allow AMC to raise capital to pay off its debt load. In addition, the money raised would also be useful for merger and acquisition funds and would be key to AMC&#39;s long-term prospects.</p><p>At first, the creation of APEs may have sounded bearish to shareholders, who feared the further dilution of AMC shares.</p><p>Since the APEs began trading publicly, their share price has dropped more than 80%, from $6.95 to less than $1 per share today. APE is now a penny stock.</p><h3>The Market Is &#34;Not Getting&#34; the APEs</h3><p>The difference in share price between AMC&#39;s common stock and preferred shares is no doubt something that has drawn attention on Wall Street. After all, in theory, the assets are the same piece of paper.</p><p>Wedbush analyst Michael Pachter, who primarily covers gaming stocks — including GameStop  (GME) - Get Free Report — made some comments regarding AMC&#39;s preferred shares probably because of the &#34;meme&#34; issue behind the stock.</p><p>As Pachter pointed out, preferred shares are useful when a company declares bankruptcy and needs to pay its creditors. Thus, what is left of the company goes to those shareholders who own these preferred shares.</p><p>However, AMC&#39;s initiative to distribute preferred shares to each of its shareholders makes preferred shares lose their meaning, according to the Wedbush analyst.</p><p>Pachter also said that because APEs are depreciating faster than AMC common shares, this may be a sign that there is some confusion in the market.</p><blockquote>&#34;The market doesn&#39;t quite get it at all, and they&#39;re bidding down the preferred, but they&#39;re all going to go down together.&#34;</blockquote><h3>Wedbush&#39;s Worries About AMC&#39;s Debt</h3><p>Pachter&#39;s colleague Alicia Reese, who covers AMC stock, shares his bearish sentiment toward the company. According to Reese, AMC shares should be worth $2 based on its business fundamentals.</p><p>After the latest third-quarter earnings release, the Wedbush analyst saw AMC missing a golden opportunity to write down or pay down some of its debt, which reached $5.4 billion when the APE units were first issued.</p><p>However, as AMC recently announced, in the last three months, about 3% of the APE units have been sold, allowing AMC to raise $160 million in cash.</p><p>The movie theater chain took advantage of this to repurchase about $36 million in principal debt at a 61% discount. This, added to the company&#39;s refinancing in 2022, reduces the company&#39;s total debt by $180 million.</p><p>Finally, according to Alicia Reese, AMC should make it a priority to pay off its debts and dive deeper into its partnership with IMAX. Reese also said that AMC needs to avoid &#34;distractions&#34; from its various new businesses and ventures, such as its popcorn branded for retail and credit card sales.</p><h3>The Bottom Line</h3><p>Arguably, analysts and the so-called &#34;smart money&#34; do their jobs by analyzing stocks based on their business fundamentals. AMC&#39;s business still has many challenges ahead, especially in proving sustainability concerning its debt and liquidity.</p><p>However, the initiative of AMC&#39;s management to issue APEs as a kind of currency to raise money seems to have been a great move. Capitalizing on the considerable short-term headwinds facing the movie theater industry and the American economy as a whole seems prudent, to say the least.</p><p>During the past year, several Wall Street analysts had predicted that AMC would become a penny stock.

Each AMC shareholder received one APE share for every AMC share they owned.According to the movie theater chain, it was one of the biggest developments of the year.The main purpose of the APEs was to allow AMC to raise capital to pay off its debt load. In addition, the money raised would also be useful for merger and acquisition funds and would be key to AMC's long-term prospects.At first, the creation of APEs may have sounded bearish to shareholders, who feared the further dilution of AMC shares.Since the APEs began trading publicly, their share price has dropped more than 80%, from $6.95 to less than $1 per share today. APE is now a penny stock.The Market Is \"Not Getting\" the APEsThe difference in share price between AMC's common stock and preferred shares is no doubt something that has drawn attention on Wall Street. After all, in theory, the assets are the same piece of paper.Wedbush analyst Michael Pachter, who primarily covers gaming stocks — including GameStop  (GME) - Get Free Report — made some comments regarding AMC's preferred shares probably because of the \"meme\" issue behind the stock.As Pachter pointed out, preferred shares are useful when a company declares bankruptcy and needs to pay its creditors. Thus, what is left of the company goes to those shareholders who own these preferred shares.However, AMC's initiative to distribute preferred shares to each of its shareholders makes preferred shares lose their meaning, according to the Wedbush analyst.Pachter also said that because APEs are depreciating faster than AMC common shares, this may be a sign that there is some confusion in the market.\"The market doesn't quite get it at all, and they're bidding down the preferred, but they're all going to go down together.\"Wedbush's Worries About AMC's DebtPachter's colleague Alicia Reese, who covers AMC stock, shares his bearish sentiment toward the company. According to Reese, AMC shares should be worth $2 based on its business fundamentals.After the latest third-quarter earnings release, the Wedbush analyst saw AMC missing a golden opportunity to write down or pay down some of its debt, which reached $5.4 billion when the APE units were first issued.However, as AMC recently announced, in the last three months, about 3% of the APE units have been sold, allowing AMC to raise $160 million in cash.The movie theater chain took advantage of this to repurchase about $36 million in principal debt at a 61% discount. This, added to the company's refinancing in 2022, reduces the company's total debt by $180 million.Finally, according to Alicia Reese, AMC should make it a priority to pay off its debts and dive deeper into its partnership with IMAX. Reese also said that AMC needs to avoid \"distractions\" from its various new businesses and ventures, such as its popcorn branded for retail and credit card sales.The Bottom LineArguably, analysts and the so-called \"smart money\" do their jobs by analyzing stocks based on their business fundamentals. AMC's business still has many challenges ahead, especially in proving sustainability concerning its debt and liquidity.However, the initiative of AMC's management to issue APEs as a kind of currency to raise money seems to have been a great move. Capitalizing on the considerable short-term headwinds facing the movie theater industry and the American economy as a whole seems prudent, to say the least.During the past year, several Wall Street analysts had predicted that AMC would become a penny stock. But it didn't. This is because, in my view, over the past two years, using AMC's fundamentals alone to predict its share price yields an incomplete story.Today, it is estimated that the majority of AMC's float is owned by retail investors, many of them highly engaged in socially mobilized investing.Thus, the active participation of individual shareholders is quite relevant to dictate the share price of AMC and also of APEs. The shares often disregard company-related news or business fundamentals — one of the characteristics of so-called meme stocks.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":548,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9980269450,"gmtCreate":1665743385370,"gmtModify":1676537658829,"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":"Hold !!!&nbsp;Amc will go back up !!!

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.

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.

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. Hycroft shares fell more than 48% during the quarter. \n</p>\n<p>\n     Aron noted AMC's global attendance hit 59 million people, up 168% from the second quarter of 2021. He also said food and beverage revenue per patron was $7.52, up from $5.58 in the comparable prepandemic quarter of 2019. \n</p>\n<p>\n     AMC stock was down 4.9% in after hours trading. \n</p>\n<p>\n     Write to Connor Smith at connor.smith@barrons.com \n</p>\n<pre>\n \n</pre>\n<p>\n  <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/END\">$(END)$</a> Dow Jones Newswires\n</p>\n<p>\n  August 04, 2022 17:51 ET (21:51 GMT)\n</p>\n<p>\n  Copyright (c) 2022 Dow Jones &amp; Company, Inc.\n</p>\n</font>","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>AMC Entertainment Plans 'APE' Preferred Stock Dividend.

Shareholders on AMC's investor connect site will also receive an NFT. \n\n\n     An AMC spokesman didn't return a request seeking comment on the Journal report. \n\n\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\n\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\n\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. Hycroft shares fell more than 48% during the quarter. \n\n\n     Aron noted AMC's global attendance hit 59 million people, up 168% from the second quarter of 2021. He also said food and beverage revenue per patron was $7.52, up from $5.58 in the comparable prepandemic quarter of 2019. \n\n\n     AMC stock was down 4.9% in after hours trading. \n\n\n     Write to Connor Smith at connor.smith@barrons.com \n\n\n \n\n\n$(END)$ Dow Jones Newswires\n\n\n  August 04, 2022 17:51 ET (21:51 GMT)\n\n\n  Copyright (c) 2022 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":151,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
