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.
It hit an air pocket. Concerns about secular shifts away from movies, which is overdone. Good job at lowering costs. Modelling 20% growth for 2020 over 2019. Not as expensive as it used to be, nice dividend. He’s long this name. At 20x, have to be somewhat careful. Would buy on a pullback. Yield is just shy of 5% yield.
He owns it in personal accounts. It has struggled to prove to the investor community that it is intact. There was a negative secular trend recently. They still generate great revenues and profitability because of the increasing purchase when people go to their theaters. Their digital signage business is 10-15% of their revenues, coming from quick serve restaurant menus and other businesses that use their screens for advertizing or menus. The dividend is safe and attractive.
He likes the Management. It is a hit and miss type of business. It makes no sense that the stock is trading at $28. $33, $40 is ore reasonable. They are doing a great job at diversifying. He has been positive on this stock for a long time and has been wrong. Hopefully he is right now. (Analysts’ price target is $35.51)
She has been a long-term holder of the company. It is diversifying its revenue stream. Theater is currently about 75% of their revenues, but management expects that over time the other activities will account for about 2⁄3 of revenues. This will take time, and she is giving management time to execute on their strategy. Yield 5.4%.
Very strong management team. They are diversifying the business. One of the interesting things that is happening is that the cinema stocks had a bounced as Amazon.com (AMZN-Q) taking a position on Landmark Cinemas in the US. That sparked interest in the cinema stocks. (Analysts’ price target is $35.36)
