AI verdictAI analysisGenerated by AI from underlying data

TickerTalks' own read on what's driving $CNK — fundamentals, momentum, or an event — and whether it agrees with the X crowd.

Proven numbersAcceleratingAI verdict · as of 2026-10-02

The move is getting stronger, with heavier trading behind it.

Cinemark up 56% YTD — 13% global box office on 5% of screens, Netflix theatrical pivot is the tailwind.

Cinemark Holdings operates ~522 movie theaters across the US and Latin America — the premium-cinemachain alternative to AMC. The stock is up 56% YTD and 83% of its 52-week range on specific operational and industry tailwinds.

  • The P&L is accelerating: revenue grew 15.5% YoY to $1.09B last quarter at a 21.4% operating margin and 30% gross margin — the Q2 EPS $1.20 reflects attendance recovery plus concession-pricing strength.
  • The specific bull framing is tangible: 13% of global box office on 5% of global screens means premium productivity; Netflix's theatrical pivot adds demand without adding screens; AMC bleeding share plus the 20 new SCREENX locations with CJ 4DPLEX adds premium-format revenue mix.
  • Director Fernandes's D-Return transactions ($1.4M at $38 and $703K at $35.17) are return-of-shares accounting; otherwise the insider pattern is clean.

Accelerating holds while attendance stays firm and premium-format revenue (SCREENX, 4DX) expands. A soft Nov 4 earnings print on attendance, or any specific box-office slate softening commentary for 2027, is what cools the move; a FY27 revenue guide above $3.5B plus specific SCREENX expansion metrics is what extends the breakout toward prior cycle highs.

Agrees with X sentimentX bulls citing 13% of global box office on 5% of screens, Netflix's theatrical pivot as demand tailwind, high-barrier-to-entry cinemachain thesis with AMC bleeding share, and the holder up 100%+ have the specific setup right — this is a contrarian-long thesis with real operational mechanics.

What to watch: Nov 4 earnings — attendance growth, average ticket price, concession per cap, premium-format revenue, FY27 slate commentary. A soft attendance print or 2027 slate softening is what cools the breakout.

Fundamentals & catalyst

Profitability, valuation, and the next earnings event — at a glance, with rule-of-thumb signals.

Key ratios

P/E
19.9How much investors are paying per dollar of profit the company actually earned in the last 12 months. Lower means the stock looks cheaper relative to earnings.~15–25 is typical for the S&P 500; high-growth names trade 30+; hyper-growth or speculative can be 100+ or negative.
ROIC
13.1%What percentage return the business earns on every dollar of capital (equity + debt) deployed in operations. The cleanest measure of business quality.Above ~15% is high-quality; consistently above 25% suggests a real moat. Below the company's cost of capital is value-destroying.
Op margin
13.2%Operating profit (after sales, marketing, R&D, and overhead but before interest and taxes) as a percentage of revenue. The clearest view of how well the underlying business is run.Mature business above 20% is healthy; software businesses can run 30%+; commodity / retail businesses operate in single digits.
FCF yield
7.3%Free cash flow (operating cash flow minus capex) divided by the company's market cap. The cash-on-cash return you'd get owning the whole business at today's price.Above ~5% is attractive; below ~2% means you're paying up for growth. Capital-light businesses (software) run higher than capital-heavy ones (utilities).
P/S
1.3Same idea as P/E but per dollar of revenue. Useful for companies that aren't profitable yet, where P/E is meaningless.Under ~2 is cheap; software / SaaS often runs 8–15; well above 20 implies the market is pricing in very high future growth.
ROE
26.8%Net income as a percentage of shareholders' equity. Similar to ROIC but counts only the equity side.Above 20% is strong, but can be inflated by leverage — a heavily indebted company can show high ROE with weak underlying ROIC.
Gross margin
30.0%Revenue minus the direct cost of producing what was sold, as a percentage of revenue. The first read on whether the product is structurally profitable.Software / SaaS is typically 70%+; consumer goods 30–50%; commodity / hardware businesses can be under 20%.
D/E
0.9Total debt divided by shareholders' equity. Measures how much the business runs on borrowed money versus owner capital.Under 1 is conservative; 1–2 is typical for mature businesses; over 2 is leveraged and more sensitive to interest rates.
