AMC Entertainment's shares fell by 5.20% today, crossing below the 20-day SMA, reflecting ongoing market concerns.
Despite the recent success of 'Avatar: Fire and Ash', which generated $483 million globally, AMC's stock remains under pressure due to a 53.28% decline over the past year and uncertainty surrounding its upcoming earnings report on February 24. Analysts expect a loss of 5 cents per share, an improvement from last year's loss, but mixed ratings indicate investor caution, especially with potential dilution risks from a $150 million stock offering.
The strong box office performance highlights AMC's recovery potential, yet the stock's volatility and market sentiment suggest that investors remain wary of the company's long-term profitability.
Wall Street analysts forecast AMC stock price to rise over the next 12 months. According to Wall Street analysts, the average 1-year price target for AMC is 2.15 USD with a low forecast of 1.30 USD and a high forecast of 3.00 USD. However, analyst price targets are subjective and often lag stock prices, so investors should focus on the objective reasons behind analyst rating changes, which better reflect the company's fundamentals.

The firm reviewed 4Q25 and previews exhibitor earnings with a slightly more subdued but still positive outlook following a weak holiday box office, a reassessed film slate, and potential valuation pressure from Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD)-related developments, the analyst tells investors in a research note.

Reason
Roth Capital keeps a Neutral rating and $3 price target on AMC Entertainment. The company's better than projected Q3 results, ongoing market share gains, and additional debt refinancing are positive steps forward, but even with the box office's growth in 2025 and further expansion anticipated in 2026, its free cash flow is projected to remain negative and additional equity issuances are likely, the analyst tells investors in a research note.
