B.Riley FBR Reiterates a Buy Rating on IMAX Corp (IMAX)


In a report released today, Eric Wold from B.Riley FBR reiterated a Buy rating on IMAX Corp (IMAX), with a price target of $34. The company’s shares closed yesterday at $20.84.

Wold noted:

“After the close on Tuesday (2/26), IMAX Corporation (IMAX) reported 4Q18 results that were mixed vs. our estimates with upside revenues and lower-than-expected adjusted EBITDA on the mix of system installs vs. our assumptions and the timing/level of SG&A expenses in the period. Nevertheless, with management guiding to a nearly-double-digit increase in system installs for 2019 and, for the first time, providing solid (and, we believe, conservative) guidance for both global box office and adjusted EBITDA margins, we see an attractive set-up for the shares as investors are able to get a clearer picture of the profitability of the core theater operations.”

According to TipRanks.com, Wold ‘s ranking currently consits of no stars on a 0-5 ranking scale, with an average return of -3.7% and a 37.4% success rate. Wold covers the Services sector, focusing on stocks such as Cinemark Holdings Inc, National Cinemedia, and AMC Entertainment.
