Amc's Stock Has Plummeted. The Company's Ceo Adam Aron Says He Will Have a Lot to Say About Its Q4 Earnings.

AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc. has recently encountered a series of record lows in its stock performance. AMC's CEO, Adam Aron, has indicated that he intends to address the ongoing situation in detail during the company's fourth-quarter results announcement scheduled for February 28.

‍

Aron communicated this information on X, formerly known as Twitter, late on Thursday, stating, "AMC will announce q4 and full year 2023 earnings Feb 28 at 5:00 pm EST. I realize many of you have wanted my take as to what is going on, but the best time to do so is on this year-ending earnings call. Listen to the webcast. I’ll have much to say."

The movie theater chain's shares reached a historic closing low of $3.67 on February 5, underscoring the decline in its meme-stock status. Subsequently, there has been a partial recovery, with the stock closing at $4.89 at the end of Thursday's session. Nevertheless, this marks a significant departure from the exuberant days of the meme-stock frenzy when AMC's shares reached an all-time closing high of $339.05 on June 2, 2021, according to Dow Jones Market Data.

‍

Over the past 52 weeks, AMC shares have experienced a substantial 89.4% decrease, in stark contrast to the S&P 500 index's gain of 23%.

‍

In the preceding month, Aron expressed his frustration with the company's declining share price, emphasizing his primary focus on rebuilding AMC. In a post on X, Aron stated, "Almost all I think about is rebuilding AMC."

‍

In another tweet from the same period, Aron characterized the recent downward trend in AMC's shares as "painful" and attributed it to the enduring impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the movie-theater industry.

‍

In the context of AMC's challenges, its rival Cinemark Holdings Inc. also faced a setback, with its shares falling 1.8% in premarket trades on Friday following the announcement of a wider-than-expected fourth-quarter loss. Despite this, Cinemark shares have demonstrated resilience, boasting a 40.1% increase over the past 52 weeks.

‍

As the industry grapples with evolving circumstances and challenges, the upcoming fourth-quarter results and subsequent commentary from AMC's CEO are eagerly anticipated, offering insights into the company's strategy and prospects for overcoming the hurdles it currently faces. Investors and industry observers are keen to glean information from the earnings call to better understand the trajectory of AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc. in the changing landscape of the cinema business.
