Cineplex Inc (CGX-T) is facing challenges as it navigates a post-COVID landscape, with recent performances in Q3 and Q4 disappointing investors. Although Q1 shows signs of improvement, particularly after a strong December 2025, the impact of external factors like the Blue Jays' playoff run on box office revenues cannot be overlooked. Experts have mixed views on streaming services decimating theater businesses, with some believing in the potential for an acquisition of Cineplex before the current CEO's retirement at the end of 2026. Valuations vary, with one expert placing a target price of $34 against an analyst's estimate of $14.25, reflecting differing opinions on the company's future. The company has a strong management history, but its adaptation to the more competitive landscape fraught with streaming content challenges remains uncertain, suggesting a reevaluation is necessary.

PARTIAL SELL

Sold part of his position. A little weakness on the advertising side. It had its run and is expensive relative to its growth prospects. Move away from defensive guys and into a little more volatility.

DON'T BUY

Has been looking at this one quite closely. Box office has been quite weak this summer. Fundamentally this is a very toppy stock. He will wait for a good bottoming out before he recommends it. Trading at 20X estimated earnings, which is pretty rich.

BUY

Had a drop today for no particular reason. Good opportunity to add your position. Depending on what movies are being released, traffic can fluctuate month-to-month. Very well managed. They continue to raise the high-margin concession spending.

HOLD

A little ‘toppy’. Great run this year. Movies over the summer have helped. Upcoming movies into the fall – some big ones that should drive traffic. Advertising has been a little weak with the Olympics. It is a core holding but hard to imagine what will drive share price up much from here. A good, stable performer. A good defensive place to be.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Likes the story a lot. Sold his holdings about 6 months ago because of rich valuation and the 3-D effect is starting to phase out. Balance sheet is great and management is strong. Their media ads missed on the last quarter. He will transition back into this because it is a fantastic yielding stock. He would like it in the mid to low $20.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick July 22/11. Up 22.81%.)

PAST TOP PICK

(Top Pick Jul 22/11, Up 20.26%) Yield is still there. Summer should be good for them. Cautions that above $30 it is pretty expensive. Would buy at $27 or $28.

DON'T BUY

Monopoly position. Market share is very defensible. You pay a premium valuation for it but the dividend is sustainable. There is latent value in the stock if they decide to unlock it. He prefers other REITs.

WEAK BUY

Just raised dividend and had good earnings. It is quite expensive. Don’t expect a lot of growth but the dividend is certainly safe. In a risk-on market, he would see a sell-off. 4.5% dividend.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick July 14/11.Up 27.09%.) Very defensive stock. Has been adding to his position.

COMMENT

Great company and great management. Very low volatility so in a down market it trades either sideways or up. Recession resistant. Expensive on a PE basis. Feels the 3-D effect is completely rolling off now and there is less reason to go to 3-D now. Sold his holdings and would be interested in re-entering in the low $20's. 4.3% dividend.

HOLD

Attractive dividend yield. Management has been very proactive in making better use of their theatres. Doing very well in more digital advertising. Doesn't expect huge upside from here. Continue to hold if you are more dividend focused.

DON'T BUY

Held it for a year and a half but sold it based on valuation. It did as much as he could possible see. They are earning great margins out of 3D even though it has come off. Their loyalty program is paying off. Digitization of films, which is happening, will help increase their margins. He would get excited again in the low $20s.

COMMENT

One of his favourite holdings. Pays over 5% and are paying out only about half of their cash flow. Doesn't feel it has another double in it he is going to continue to hold it. Has a target of $30. Just reported outstanding earnings. Their advertising is an incredibly good source of revenue. Well-managed. Pulling costs down by converting to digital.

TOP PICK

Not economically sensitive. Cruised right through the recession, raising ticket and popcorn prices on the way. Also makes money on advertising. Modernized a lot of their theatres for 3-D and are putting in digital projection equipment that in the long run will enhance viewing experience as well as making their costs lower. Good yield.
