Cineplex Inc. (CGX-T) has experienced significant challenges, particularly during the pandemic, and analysts have mixed feelings about its future. Disappointment in box office performance during Q3 and Q4 does cast a shadow, but Q1 is showing some signs of recovery. There's speculation surrounding the upcoming retirement of the CEO, with potential discussions of selling the company before year-end, which could be a catalyst for its valuation. Despite concerns about the impact of streaming services on traditional cinema, one analyst remains optimistic, highlighting a potential for asset divestiture and valuation at $34, contrasting with the analysts' price target of $14.25. Overall, while some believe in its management and long-term value, uncertainty looms regarding the next strategic move.
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)
