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 $18.71, close to its 52-week low of $18.13.
Wold wrote:
“We are revisiting IMAX Corporation (IMAX) after the company’s EV-to-NTM EBITDA multiple has now dropped below the exhibitor group’s average multiple for only the second time in the past decade. And this has occurred even though, we believe, IMAX is not only the best positioned company to benefit from a strong film slate and box office outlook for 2019+, but would also have an even lower correlation to any possibility of domestic economic weakness than the remainder of the exhibitor group (which, we believe, was the cause for the similar downward move ten years ago). More importantly, we expect IMAX to benefit from similar trends over the next 12-18 months as those that helped drive a massive 1,200% move in IMAX shares following the valuation multiple trough ten years ago.”
According to TipRanks.com, Wold is a 1-star analyst with an average return of -1.0% and a 39.4% success rate. Wold covers the Services sector, focusing on stocks such as Reading International Inc, Cinemark Holdings Inc, and National Cinemedia.
