Cineplex Inc (CGX-T) has faced significant challenges since the COVID pandemic, with a disappointing box office performance in Q3 and Q4, though Q1 shows signs of improvement thanks to a strong December. Some analysts believe that the company's current struggles might present a fantastic risk/return opportunity, especially as the retiring CEO's departure may catalyze a potential sale by mid-2026. There is skepticism about the long-term impact of streaming on Cineplex's business model, suggesting that while it may not be the same company as before, it still has potential assets to be divested or capitalized upon. Overall, there is uncertainty regarding the next strategic move, prompting some experts to recommend exploring energy infrastructure investments as alternatives.

AMC

TOP PICK

Basically an income pick. Anything under $20 is a buy. Converting to a Corp on Jan 1st. Payout ratio is low enough that they can maintain their dividend. Almost 7% yield. 3-D movie trend is going to go higher.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Aug 12/09. Up 21.5%.) Still likes.

TOP PICK

Sold off recently. Q3 is off to a better start. Will grow when they convert to a corporation. 80%+ margins on adverts before movies. Safe, stable income.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

6.6% yield, which will not change when they convert. Dead money over the next quarter or two because of weaker movie releases this year compared to last. Looking at Harry Potter in 3-D, which will be good for the 4th quarter.

BUY

Handle 75% of the movies in Canada. 3-D is a very big thing. Only paying out 65% so expect distribution is safe. Recent pullback is a good buying opportunity.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Have done very well. What may hurt them in the coming quarter is that they are coming off a very strong Q2 2009. Will continue same level of dividend as distribution when they convert in 2011. 3-D movies are good for them because of higher margins.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick May 28/09. Up 45%.) Will continue to pay 6% yield after they convert. 3-D side has really taken off. Concessions continue to do well. Very defensive.

TOP PICK

Business trust that will convert Jan/1. Will maintain distribution of 6.4%. Payout ratio of about 50%. 70% share of Canadian movie theatres. Traffic growth has been strong this year, driven by 3-D. Concession spending is up.

BUY

Payout ratio of only 60%. Will convert to a corporation. 3-D entrenched in movie theatres has helped their bottom line. Good solid management. About to move over to digital projection, which will take a couple of years. This will increase their margins and allow more flexibility. 7% yield.

BUY

CGX.U Great long-term hold. 6.2% yield. Just announced that they will convert to a corporation with no change in distribution. Payout ratio less than 60%.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick May 28/09. Up 46%.) 6% yield, which should continue after they convert to a corporation. Still a buy.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick April 27/09. Up 62%.)

STRONG BUY

Tremendous appetite for yield and this one has potential for a rising yield making it attractive to investors. Also, consumer related companies have been beneficiaries in this market. Cinema companies are playing into a very strong theme in 3-D.

BUY

Had their best year of all time last year and that excluded Avitar. They have 70% market share. Likes their Scene program, which gives the ability to buy DVDs, movies, etc. online. Doing a lot of good work in merchandising. 70% payout ratio. Yield of 6.17%.

TOP PICK

Done very well. Likes it. 3D movies are proving to be quite a hit. Increased their concession sales, which are very profitable. Good investment for an income investor and it is not commodity-based and 6% yield. Somewhat too sensitive to flow of product because of dominant position in market. Relatively low payout ratios and no payout coming when conversion to corporation.
