Cineplex Inc. has been facing challenges since the pandemic, particularly with disappointing box office performance in Q3 and Q4 of the previous year, although Q1 shows promise. The company's future is further complicated by the impending retirement of its CEO, with speculation about a potential sale before his departure. While some experts believe the stock can rebound, they express concerns about the impact of streaming services and changing consumer behaviors in the film industry. However, others see a possible upside through strategic management decisions, particularly regarding divestitures and capitalizing on real estate. Overall, opinions on Cineplex's future vary, with some experts holding a more optimistic view of valuation and risk-reward potential.

A lot of their revenues and cash flows come from concessions, which have high margins. What is very exciting is the ancillary services such as digital advertising (a 20% growth division for them.)

7% yield, that he is looking on it as a total return basis. Making a lot of money on advertising. Very high margins on the popcorn. Looking for another dividend increase.

TOP PICK

Slate of movies for 2007 has been spectacular and attendance has gone back to 2004 levels. Expect this will continue into 2008. There will also be a digital rollout (versus reels of films), which is almost complete. Give them good flexibility in changing movies.

BUY

Totally reliant on movies and the demand for popcorn. There are worries that the price increase in corn will work its way through. Profit margin on popcorn is so high it really doesn't matter.

BUY

Moving to the digital advertising models in the movies, which gives them huge margins.
