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.

Trump says his 'great relationship' with Elon Musk could be over
Trump says his 'great relationship' with Elon Musk could be over originally appeared on TheStreet. President Donald Trump said that his once 'great relationship' with Elon Musk could be ending as he defends his 'great big beautiful bill." "I don't know if we will anymore," he said when the press asked him about his relationship with Musk. At press time, the entire crypto market is painted red. Bitcoin is trading at $103,932.49, down by 1.25% over the last 24 hours, as per Kraken. Earlier this week, when Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong hinted that the 'big, beautiful bill' could inflate U.S. debt and make Bitcoin the reserve currency, Musk agreed and replied with a U.S. flag to his post. Musk has since then took to social media X to publicly criticize President Trump's spending bill describing it as a "Debt Slavery Bill' and noting it would add trillions to the national deficit. He also called for Americans to contact their representatives and posted a Kill Bill-style image blasting the bill. Seeing Musk's vocal support against the bill, the crypto community also responded by making a meme coin of the same name. However, Musk is not the only billionaire who has opposed this bill. Pro-crypto billionaire Tim Draper slammed the bill and proposed that Bitcoin could be the only hedge against the overspending the U.S. government is hooked to. Billionaire Ray Dalio also echoed a similar sentiment saying that the U.S. might be close to a debt crisis. He said, "this dynamic leads to a self-reinforcing debt, money-printing, and inflation spiral." At the time of writing, Tesla shares (TSLA) have also been impacted and is trading at $310.50, down by 6.59%.

Oregon updates Bottle Bill following safety concerns at retailers
PORTLAND, Ore. () — Following criticism of Oregon's Bottle Bill, officials have approved changes to the long-standing program. Gov. Tina Kotek signed on Tuesday, allowing Oregon retailers to temporarily refuse bottle drops outside of the hours between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. The measure also calls on state leaders to establish Crater Lake superintendent steps down amid staffing cuts under Trump admin Residents currently pay a 10-cent deposit for the beverage containers they purchase at retailers statewide. The Oregon Beverage Container Act was first passed in 1971 in an attempt to mitigate litter by giving people refunds for the beverages they return, according to the . But more recently, community members have claimed the program attracts who want to quickly obtain cash to purchase drugs. Store owners have additionally alleged it poses a threat to staff members who work later hours. Just last spring, Southwest 11th Avenue and Jefferson Street's Plaid Pantry and a nearby Safeway paused their bottle drop programs. Plaid Pantry President and CEO Jonathan Polonsky that employees would often quit due to safety concerns at the store that is open 24-7. Now that SB 992 has taken effect, the Oregon Liquor and Cannabis Commission is working to ensure residents can still access their deposits at participating retailers. The agency has also expanded the program to include wine and cider bottles with an ABV of more than 8.5%, along with sake and mead starting on July 1. Oregon board rejects another attempt to block Portland's first Live Nation venue 'For over 50 years, Oregon's Bottle Bill has helped keep our state green and litter-free,' Chair Dennis Doherty said during Thursday's commission meeting. 'The OLCC is proud of the role we play in making the Bottle Bill work. With today's significant changes, we will ensure that our pioneering system will continue to serve communities across our state for years to come.' The temporary rules established by the new legislation are set to expire on Dec. 2. Regulators plan to hear the public's feedback on the changes before permanently enforcing them later this year.
