B.Riley FBR Maintains Their Buy Rating on IMAX Corp (IMAX)


B.Riley FBR analyst Eric Wold maintained a Buy rating on IMAX Corp (IMAX) today and set a price target of $34. The company’s shares closed on Friday at $21.76.

Wold noted:

“We continue to believe the increased focus on blockbuster tent-pole films by the major studios—potentially to create a reason to visit movie theaters and compete against additional streaming entertainment options—bodes extremely well for IMAX. And with Disney already dominating box office through the first five months (at 36% market share) and expected to throughout the remainder of the year, we view this as a very positive trend for IMAX. According to reported results from (5/31), IMAX screens generated a total of $260M in global box office through Sunday, 5/26 (with $88M for the China, and $80M for the rest of the world). With a globally IMAX-friendly slate of titles still left on the horizon for the remainder of 2Q19, we continue to see upside to the consensus box office projection of $360M and results closer to our $378M estimate or higher.”

According to TipRanks.com, Wold has currently no stars on a ranking scale of 0-5 stars, with an average return of -7.3% and a 30.0% success rate. Wold covers the Services sector, focusing on stocks such as Reading International Inc, Cinemark Holdings Inc, and National Cinemedia.
