Cineplex Inc (CGX-T) is currently facing challenges as it navigates the aftermath of the pandemic, with disappointing box office returns in Q3 and Q4 but a hopeful recovery in Q1, bolstered by a strong December 2025. The company's performance has also been impacted by external factors, such as the Blue Jays' playoff run last October. With the announcement of their CEO's retirement at the end of the year, speculation arises regarding a potential sale of the company by mid-2026, which could serve as a catalyst for a rebound. While some analysts express optimism about the future, questioning the streaming threat, overall sentiment reflects uncertainty about the company's direction and whether it can adapt to the evolving entertainment landscape. Considering alternative investments, experts suggest focusing on energy infrastructure companies while keeping an eye on Cineplex’s volatility.

AMC,A

PAST TOP PICK

(Top Pick Nov 10/10, Up 25.25%) and he collected a pretty good dividend. Good at growing revenue from concessions. Reasonably recession proof.

BUY

Classic defensive stock. With a few exceptions, their movies have not been as successful as last year. Very good yield. Switching more and more of their theaters over to 3D and will be able to charge more. Smart management.

BUY

Now in a buying range. (Just bought some.) Movie industry in North America is very soft in the 1st 2 quarters compared with 2 previous years, partly due to Avatar, which was a huge driver in 09. Box office now starting to pick up and there are some big movies coming out. Lots of room to raise the dividend.

DON'T BUY

Puzzled how this company has done so well over the last year or so. Virtual monopoly in Canada. 100% dependent on its suppliers for its products. Has no control over its product, which is always a danger sign. Percentage of consumers going to see movies in 3-D, declines every week.

TOP PICK

Makes 85% margins on its confectionery products, makes money on screen ads and on the movies themselves.

BUY

Has a targeted return of 18% including yield and capital gain. 5.2% yield.

TOP PICK

This is one of those names that points to the quality of management. Have a good platform and a substantial market share in the number of screens. This should continue with one good quarter after another.

PAST TOP PICK

(Top Pick Aug 4/10, Up 34.28%) A virtual monopoly. They execute really well. Harry Potter will help them. Q2 will not be great but it is built into the stock price. We are seeing that on 3D films only 50-60% of people going to see them are actually seeing them in 3D. Going forward they may not get the extra sweetener from 3D that they were supposed to get.

BUY

Thinks this one will do quite well in spite of the lackluster box office in the 2nd quarter. Stock sold off a little on the numbers that came out earlier in the week. Well positioned and pays a good dividend. 2nd half promises a pretty strong lineup.

BUY

Really likes – a core position. When you have 75% of the market you have a good opportunity to make money. There are dynamics in the movie business with 3D movies. Blockbusters over the summer should be good.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick June 22/10. Up 40.21%.) Has done very well but capital of side is probably muted near-term. My shield.

BUY

Likes what they are doing. In terms of box office, they have some big pictures coming in. Also likes what they are doing in digital conversion, which could be a cost saver over time. 5% dividend.

BUY

Very interesting for the next 6 months. Yield of about 5.6%. Really good balance sheet and great free cash flow. Hurt by poor ticket sales in the first half but there are a bunch of blockbusters coming for the summer season. Concessions continue to do well. Showings of operas has been a great boon for them.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick April 26/10. Up 27.82%.) Upside catalyst may be more limited to 5%-7%. Very attractive yield of 5%-6%.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick April 14/10. Up 22.20%.)
