Do Cinemark Holdings' (NYSE:CNK) Earnings Warrant Your Attention?
The excitement of investing in a company that can reverse its fortunes is a big draw for some speculators, so even companies that have no revenue, no profit, and a record of falling short, can manage to find investors. But the reality is that when a company loses money each year, for long enough, its investors will usually take their share of those losses. While a well funded company may sustain losses for years, it will need to generate a profit eventually, or else investors will move on and the company will wither away. If this kind of company isn't your style, you like companies that generate revenue, and even earn profits, then you may well be interested in Cinemark Holdings (NYSE:CNK). Now this is not to say that the company presents the best investment opportunity around, but profitability is a key component to success in business. This technology could replace computers: discover the 20 stocks are working to make quantum computing a reality. Cinemark Holdings has undergone a massive growth in earnings per share over the last three years. So much so that this three year growth rate wouldn't be a fair assessment of the company's future. So it would be better to isolate the growth rate over the last year for our analysis. Cinemark Holdings boosted its trailing twelve month EPS from US$1.78 to US$2.13, in the last year. That's a 19% gain; respectable growth in the broader scheme of things. It's often helpful to take a look at earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) margins, as well as revenue growth, to get another take on the quality of the company's growth. Not all of Cinemark Holdings' revenue this year is revenue from operations, so keep in mind the revenue and margin numbers used in this article might not be the best representation of the underlying business. Cinemark Holdings reported flat revenue and EBIT margins over the last year. That's not a major concern but nor does it point to the long term growth we like to see.

See our latest analysis for Cinemark Holdings You don't drive with your eyes on the rear-view mirror, so you might be more interested in this free report showing analyst forecasts for Cinemark Holdings' future profits. It's pleasing to see company leaders with putting their money on the line, so to speak, because it increases alignment of incentives between the people running the business, and its true owners. So it is good to see that Cinemark Holdings insiders have a significant amount of capital invested in the stock. Indeed, they have a considerable amount of wealth invested in it, currently valued at US$416m. Investors will appreciate management having this amount of skin in the game as it shows their commitment to the company's future. One positive for Cinemark Holdings is that it is growing EPS. That's nice to see. To add an extra spark to the fire, significant insider ownership in the company is another highlight. The combination definitely favoured by investors so consider keeping the company on a watchlist. What about risks? Every company has them, and we've spotted 1 warning sign for Cinemark Holdings you should know about. There's always the possibility of doing well buying stocks that are not growing earnings and do not have insiders buying shares.

Movie theater stocks soar after record-breaking Memorial Day box office
Shares of movie theater companies soared on Tuesday following a record-breaking Memorial Day Weekend at the domestic box office. AMC saw its stock jump more than 20%, while shares of Marcus Theatres' parent company Marcus Corporation climbed 8% and Cinemark stock leaped 2.5%. The tandem releases of Disney's live-action "Lilo & Stitch" and Paramount's "Mission Impossible — The Final Reckoning" alongside holdovers Disney and Marvel's "Thunderbolts*," Warner Bros.' "Sinners" and "Final Destination Bloodlines" led to an estimated $326 million haul, the highest Memorial Day box office ever, according to data from Comscore. It is also more than double the $132 million in ticket sales collected last year during the same period. "Everything came together at the right time with two eagerly anticipated, positively reviewed tentpoles courting a diverse range of audiences," said Shawn Robbins, director of analytics at Fandango and founder of Box Office Theory. "This record holiday frame continues a box office winning streak which began in the spring and has now grown into bona fide momentum for what will likely be a $4 billion-plus summer at domestic cinemas thanks to a string of promising blockbusters on the slate." AMC, Cinemark and Marcus Theatres each posted their best Memorial Day Weekend ticket revenues of all time, as well as record food and beverage sales for the holiday. "Finally it would appear that our industry has turned a corner," Adam Aron, CEO of AMC, said in a statement. "Since early April, weekend after weekend, moviegoers have been demonstrating their preference for theatrical moviegoing. A record-setting Memorial Day holiday is yet another sign of the continued strength and relevance of moviegoing in 2025." "Lilo & Stitch" tallied $183 million during the four-day frame, leading the pack, while the eighth installment in the Mission Impossible franchise scooped up $77 million. "Final Destination Bloodlines" took in $23.9 million, "Thunderbolts*" added $11.8 million and "Sinners" snared $11 million, Comscore reported. The combination of new product and strong carryover from previously released films fueled the weekend, Chad Paris, chief financial officer at Marcus Corp, told CNBC. "This is the first time this year where I would say we've had a fulsome amount of product for the weekend," he said. "And we're now getting into the stretch in the calendar where we'll have a steady cadence of product releases and across genres, a lot of different products for people to go see." Over the summer period, which ends Labor Day Weekend, the domestic box office will see the release of Universal's live-action version of "How to Train Your Dragon," a new Disney and Pixar feature "Elio," the hotly anticipated "Jurassic World Rebirth," Warner Bros.' "Superman" reboot, and Disney and Marvel's "The Fantastic Four: First Steps." In between these tentpoles are a slew of low-and-mid budget films across genres like horror, drama, comedy and sports. "Every other studio and every other movie on the horizon over the next few weeks are going to ride a wave and benefit from the performance of the past couple of months," said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst at Comscore. "We're going to have one hell of a summer and if Memorial Weekend is any indication, we're certainly looking at a $4 billion plus summer at potentially $4.2 billion plus and that's great news after a summer of 2024 that failed to reach that milestone."
