AMC Entertainment Draws Bigger Crowds as Investor Confidence Fades

AMC Entertainment (AMC) just posted its best Memorial Day weekend ever, setting new records for both ticket sales and concession revenue. But despite packed theaters and positive box office momentum, the stock has dropped more than 16% over the past week. The disconnect highlights a deeper issue: while strong movie turnout is encouraging, it's not enough to offset the company's underlying financial challenges. With lingering structural issues, ongoing meme-driven volatility, and more attractive opportunities elsewhere in the sector, I remain bearish on AMC for now. Easily unpack a company's performance with TipRanks' new KPI Data for smart investment decisions Receive undervalued, market resilient stocks right to your inbox with TipRanks' Smart Value Newsletter There's no denying that AMC is enjoying some genuine momentum. The Memorial Day weekend was a clear highlight, as more than 7 million people went to an AMC to catch a movie (or two) over the holiday. This helped the company set new records for admissions, food and beverage sales, and overall revenue. Furthermore, the industry is experiencing upward trends. After a brutal start to 2025, the spring months brought a welcome turnaround. April's box office results were double what they were the previous year, suggesting that audiences are returning to theaters (finally). AMC is looking to ride the wave of returning moviegoers by doubling down on offering 'premium experiences', including upgraded seating, enhanced sound systems, and larger screens. These premium formats command higher ticket prices, which should help boost revenue per customer. Finally, the company has recently announced it is experimenting with new advertising strategies, potentially creating another revenue stream. Despite riding a rising tide and operational improvements, AMC's financial health remains problematic. The first quarter of 2025 was particularly challenging, with several key metrics heading in the wrong direction. Revenue dropped by 6.7% year-over-year, falling to $862.5 million. Furthermore, AMC reported a loss of $202.1 million for the quarter, compared to a loss of $163.5 million during the same period in 2024. The impact this has had on AMC's cash reserves is alarming. Cash levels have dropped dramatically from $632.3 million to just $378.7 million. This rapid cash burn is worrying. Ultimately, AMC's debt is a significant burden. The company carries a staggering $8.28 billion in total debt, with $43 million in debt payments due this year, $173 million next year, and a whopping $526 million in 2027. With less than $400 million in cash, its interest coverage ratio is now an anemic -0.18. AMC's leadership team remains bullish about the company's prospects. Management is projecting annual revenue growth of about 7% over the next three years. While this sounds encouraging, it's actually slightly below the average for the broader entertainment industry, suggesting AMC may continue to face headwinds even in a recovery scenario. Analysts following the company hold a mixed outlook for its prospects, rating it a Hold overall, with a 12-month price target of $2.92. Most recently, Texas Capital's Eric Wold rated AMC a Hold, with a price target of $3. Noting AMC's significant debt and upcoming maturities, he suggests cash flow challenges from rising interest expenses could impact the company's equity valuation. Meanwhile, B. Riley's Drew Crum has lowered the price target on AMC to $3, while maintaining a Neutral stance. He maintains a generally positive outlook for the industry, given a robust upcoming slate of Hollywood films that are expected to drive box office recovery. Citi analyst Jason Bazinet holds a more pessimistic view, recently reiterating a Sell rating. However, he slightly increased the price target to $2.60, citing changes in advertising forecasts amid reduced tariff concerns. Any discussion of AMC stock would be incomplete without addressing its 'meme stock' dynamics. Take May as an example—the share price nearly doubled within a matter of days, fueled by a wave of coordinated buying from retail investors on platforms like Reddit. These kinds of explosive moves have become a defining feature of AMC's trading behavior. But the rallies are usually fleeting. Once the hype dies down, the stock often gives back its gains as the company's underlying financial challenges come back into focus—something we've likely seen play out over the past week. While AMC's meme stock status can create bursts of excitement for short-term traders, it also brings extreme volatility. That volatility distorts traditional valuation metrics and skews technical indicators, such as moving averages, making it difficult to assess the stock through a conventional investment lens. The question for AMC ultimately revolves around whether resurgent demand and operational improvements can overcome its financial constraints. Until AMC can demonstrate consistent profitability and make meaningful progress in reducing its debt burden, positive box office trends will not be enough to sustain the stock (though ongoing meme-related volatility spikes are likely). I am inclined to avoid AMC until the company can demonstrate that it can turn its box office momentum into the kind of sustained financial performance that will help it climb out of its debt crater.

Archer Aviation or Joby: Billionaire Ken Griffin Loads Up on One Top eVTOL Stock

eVTOL aircraft – or what can broadly be termed flying taxis – have been drawing plenty of attention recently, with leading companies in the space readying themselves for commercial operations. Several operators have conducted successful test flights and are now working closely with aviation regulators (such as the FAA in the U.S. and EASA in Europe) to secure certification for commercial use. Confident Investing Starts Here: Easily unpack a company's performance with TipRanks' new KPI Data for smart investment decisions Receive undervalued, market resilient stocks right to your inbox with TipRanks' Smart Value Newsletter eVTOL aircraft have the potential to be serious disruptors. They could revolutionize urban transportation by offering fast, quiet, zero-emissions air travel over congested cities – combining the convenience of helicopters with the efficiency of electric propulsion. It's a market expected to see robust growth in the coming years. According to a recent report by MarketsandMarkets, the eVTOL aircraft market was estimated to be worth $760 million in 2024 and is projected to grow rapidly, reaching $4.67 billion by 2030 – reflecting an average annual growth rate of 35.3% over the period. The momentum is expected to continue, with the market projected to grow from $6.53 billion in 2031 to $17.34 billion by 2035, at a slightly lower but still strong annual growth rate of 27.6%. With such growth on the horizon, it's no surprise that Wall Street titans like Ken Griffin are paying close attention. Griffin is an investing legend, the founder and CEO of Citadel, currently regarded as the most profitable hedge fund in history. His holdings include two of the most prominent players in the space: Archer Aviation (NYSE:ACHR) and Joby Aviation (NYSE:JOBY). But recently, Griffin has begun shifting his bets, trimming his stake in one while increasing his stake in the competitor. So, we decided to dig deeper into these two eVTOL pioneers to understand what might be driving Griffin's moves – and how the Street's stock experts are sizing up their prospects, with some insight from the TipRanks database. Archer Aviation One name definitely making waves – or more accurately, causing turbulence – on Wall Street over the past year is Archer Aviation. The stock has been on a tear, gaining 187% over the past 12 months. What's all the excitement about? Quite a few things, actually. Archer is still in the pre-revenue stage, making it a speculative bet, but the company has been taking meaningful steps toward commercialization. It is advancing through the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) certification process for its Midnight aircraft, and Archer recently kicked off piloted test flights. While certification timelines in the U.S. remain somewhat uncertain, the company is on track to launch operations in the UAE by the end of the year. Archer also has some eye-catching collaborations with major industry players. It has the backing of auto giant Stellantis, and agreements in place with United Airlines and Abu Dhabi Aviation (the UAE connection). Archer has also secured a high-profile partnership as the exclusive Air Taxi manufacturer for the LA28 Olympic and Paralympic Games, while also becoming the official and exclusive eVTOL sponsor for Team USA. Furthermore, Archer is already thinking beyond the 'flying taxi' segment – it has teamed up with Anduril Industries, a U.S. defense tech firm, to develop hybrid-electric VTOL aircraft for military use, marking Archer's strategic entry into defense through its new Archer Defense division. Additionally, for a company yet to generate any revenue, Archer has a solid cash position of $1 billion on the balance sheet. So, it's not that difficult to understand why investors have been backing this name. However, maybe Griffin thinks the gains are quite enough for now. During Q1, he sold 3,088,640 ACHR shares, trimming his holdings by 42%. That cautious stance is one Barclays analyst David Zazula evidently thinks is merited. Zazula highlights why investors should watch it here: 'Aircraft certification is not guaranteed, potentially eliminating the company's future revenue opportunity. Success of only a few players could invite regulator scrutiny from an anti-trust standpoint; a technical or engineering failure could cause the grounding of aircraft and a loss of revenue,' Zazula explained. 'Given the reliance of Archer's plan on near term revenues from international sales, we believe more clarity is needed on certification progress with the respective regulators to support current stock levels.' Accordingly, Zazula rates ACHR shares as Equal Weight (i.e., Neutral) while his $4.5 price target factors in a one-year slide of 54%. (To watch Zazula's track record, click here) Elsewhere on the Street, one other analyst joins Zazula on the sidelines but with an additional 4 Buys, the stock claims a Moderate Buy consensus rating. Going by the $10.92 average price target, a year from now, shares will be changing hands for a 10.5% premium. (See ACHR stock forecast) In the opposite corner vying for investors' eVTOL attention, we have Joby Aviation, another company making big strides toward kicking off commercial activities. Its flagship eVTOL aircraft is the S4, a tilt‑rotor vehicle seating one pilot and four passengers. Powered by six electric motors – four on a fixed wing and two on a V‑tail – it transitions seamlessly from vertical takeoff to wing‑borne flight. Much like Archer, Joby is positioning its aircraft for short-haul urban and regional travel, targeting both the U.S. and Middle East markets with an eye on launching operations as early as next year. But Joby is going even further by rapidly expanding its operational capabilities – from in-house pilot training to proprietary dispatch software – as it seeks full control over every aspect of its service ecosystem. That push toward vertical integration is being matched by technical progress. In April, Joby hit a critical milestone, successfully completing its first piloted full transition flight – a key achievement on the road to FAA testing and certification. On the financial front, Joby is gaining altitude as well. It recently secured a $250 million investment led by Toyota, extending its funding runway and boosting its production capacity. Investor confidence climbed further after Joby signed a memorandum of understanding with Saudi Arabia's Abdul Latif Jameel to explore a billion-dollar eVTOL rollout – potentially involving up to 200 aircraft. And across the Atlantic, the company is also preparing to launch air taxi services in the UK, where Virgin Atlantic aims to begin operations from London and northern England once regulatory approval is secured. All of that must have caught Griffin's eye. During Q1, he upped his JOBY stake by 242%, with the purchase of 1,979,364 shares. These are currently worth $15.8 million. That confident stance is mirrored in Cantor analyst Andres Sheppard's thesis, who writes: 'We continue to believe JOBY is amongst the best-positioned in the eVTOL industry to achieve commercialization and FAA Type Certification. We are also encouraged by the company's plans to enter into service and to carry its first passengers in Dubai by 1H26, which will be the initial market. Additionally, JOBY continues to have the strongest liquidity position in the industry with ~$813M in cash, short-term investments (as of 1Q25), and ~$1.3B in total liquidity (inclusive of Toyota investment). JOBY is partnered with Toyota for production, Delta Air Lines for operations, and the DoD (for various use-cases), which we continue to see as meaningful differentiators. We remain bullish over the long term.' Quantifying his bullish stance, Sheppard rates JOBY shares as Overweight (i.e., Buy) and backs it up with a $9 price target. If he's right, that implies a potential upside of ~13% from current levels. (To watch Sheppard's track record, click here) Overall, JOBY stock carries a Moderate Buy consensus rating, based on a mix of 4 Buys, 2 Holds, and 1 Sell. The average price target stands at $8.29, implying a modest 4% upside over the next 12 months.
