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

TOP PICK

Solid distribution of 6% yield. Demonstrated of being incredibly adept at generating revenue form sources other than the box office. Ad revenues are growing. Good at filling their theatre space with other than front line movies.

BUY

Will be converting to a Corp in January so current income, which is fully taxable will be taxed as dividends in future.

TOP PICK

Movie revenues up 5%, media revenues up 40%. Some good 3D and iMax movies are coming.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Nov 19/09. Up 35.92%.) Expecting a good fall in movies. Still a Buy

BUY

Conversion is pretty well priced in. Only 60% payout ratio. They have large tax losses they can drill through. Really likes it. Almost a monopoly. Yields 6-7%, which will be stable. Capital gains are probably out of it.

PAST TOP PICK

(Top Pick Nov 19/09, Up 35%) Dominant player in the industry. They are in the pop and popcorn business and moves are on the side. 3D moves have been very popular. Will turn into a corporation and leave the distribution because they have a lot of depreciation to use.

TOP PICK

Well managed and lots of cash. Converting to a Corp in January. 60% payout giving a 6% yield and a 10%-12% growth. Low risk.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Oct 15/09. Up 28%.) Will convert Jan 1/11 but will keep distributions at the current level. 3D has been successful and have increased concession per patron.

TOP PICK

Basically a monopoly in Canada. 6.5% yield. Has enough tax loss carry forward that it won't have to cut its dividend. 3-D has been a huge win. Showing of live Met Opera has been great. Very cheap.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

(A Top Pick July 13/09. Up 37.8%.) Major theatre/distributor across Canada with over 70% market share. The big revenue lift for them has been their advertising as well as 3-D films. A 3%-5% pullback would be a good entry point. 6% yield.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Virtual monopoly in Canada with 70%-80% of the revenues. 6% yield, paying out 60% of distributable cash flow. Doesn't see a dividend cut since they have about $600 million of tax pools. About 9X enterprise value EBITDA so is reasonably valued. Would like it in the $19-$20 range.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Aug 12/09. Up 43%.) Almost like a monopoly in Canada. Have added revenue and margins because of the 3-D effect. Concessions are very good. Recession resistant and a great defensive stock.

TOP PICK

Very solid way to play the movie business. Box office was off a bit in the last quarter but overall profitability was up. The other thing driving it is the move to 3-D and higher ticket prices. Use their theatres also for opera, ballet, Olympics, etc. 6.3% yield.

BUY

Had a slightly disappointing quarter but does like it. Good entry point. Once it converts, the yield will be attractive as a dividend tax credit.

PAST TOP PICK

(Top Pick Aug 31/09, Up 34.73%) Continue to do well from 3D
