Taking into account Moderna's insane run over the past two weeks, shares are up almost 1,700% since the end of 2019. Yet according to the lowest price target on Wall Street of $83, Moderna has the potential to shed 76% of its value.</p>\n<p>As you may be well aware, Moderna's popularity stems from its work in developing a coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine. This two-dose treatment, known as mRNA-1273, produced a vaccine effectiveness of just over 94% in late-stage clinical trials, which was the catalyst that allowed the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to grant it emergency-use authorization (EUA).</p>\n<p>With Moderna aiming to have between 800 million and 1 billion doses produced this year, the company believes it'll top $19 billion in annual sales. For some context, this'll make mRNA-1273 the third best-selling drug in the world, behind only <b>AbbVie</b>'s anti-inflammatory Humira and the <b>Pfizer</b>/<b>BioNTech</b>&nbsp;COVID-19 vaccine, BNT162b2. Moderna will also be wildly profitable in 2021, with Wall Street's consensus estimate calling for $24.57 in earnings per share, or nearly $9.9 billion.</p>\n<p>However, Moderna isn't alone on the vaccine front. It's contending with Pfizer/BioNTech, the one-shot <b>Johnson &amp; Johnson</b>&nbsp;vaccine, which has EUA in the U.S. and Europe, <b>AstraZeneca</b>'s two-dose vaccine, and the strong likelihood that <b>Novavax</b>&nbsp;will be granted EUA for its COVID-19 vaccine, which produced roughly 90% vaccine efficacy in two large-scale studies. It's quite possible Moderna's market peaks in 2021 and tapers afterwards.</p>\n<p>Valuation is a concern, too. While Moderna isn't pricey from a price-to-earnings perspective, most biotech stocks run into a brick wall when they hit six or seven times peak annual sales. Moderna is a bit above that level, as of this past weekend. While I'm not inclined to believe that $83 is a realistic price target in the near term, I do believe it's time to book profits on Moderna considering the uncertain competitive landscape and its lack of approved therapies beyond mRNA-1273.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/16ca48e46c5ed915bdfaeb115d44e553\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"467\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>Shopify: Implied decline of 50%</h2>\n<p>Your eyes are not deceiving you -- that really says <b>Shopify</b> (NYSE:SHOP). Although the cloud-based e-commerce platform is a favorite among growth stock investors, one Wall Street analyst isn't a fan. The low-water analyst target of $825 would represent an implied decline in Shopify's stock of 50%.</p>\n<p>The most logical reason for Wall Street analysts to be skeptical of Shopify's upside would be its valuation. I know, \"growth stocks always trade at premiums!\" However, Shopify's premium is pushing some boundaries.</p>\n<p>Sporting a $205 billion market cap, the company is now valued at 46 times estimated sales for 2021 and 35 times projected sales for 2022. For some context here, Shopify ended 2015 through 2018 at 11 to 16 times sales and has averaged a revenue multiple of 28 over the past five years.</p>\n<p>To boot, even though Shopify is profitable on a recurring basis, it has a forward price-to-earnings ratio of almost 330. Again, there's some leeway given to hypergrowth stocks on the valuation front, but Shopify is certainly pushing those traditional boundaries.</p>\n<p>On the other hand, Shopify has proved it's an absolute e-commerce beast. We were already witnessing businesses transitioning online and into the cloud long before the pandemic. However, COVID-19 pushed this trend into overdrive.</p>\n<p>During the first quarter, 137% growth in merchant-solutions revenue ultimately pushed the gross merchandise volume (GMV) traversing its platform up 114% from the prior-year period. While triple-digit GMV growth likely isn't sustainable, Shopify seems a good bet to increase its share of e-commerce activity in the U.S.</p>\n<p>Shopify has landed some pretty big names as clients, too. Both <b>Walmart</b>&nbsp;and <b>Pinterest</b>&nbsp;are on board, and the company saw partner referrals up 73% at the end of March, compared to the prior-year period.</p>\n<p>While I can support the idea that Shopify's upside may be limited in the near term, I don't believe Wall Street's most-pessimistic price target of $825 is in the cards.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1c6cb4d9fcdf85f542f333fc71a2dd58\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>AMC Entertainment: Implied decline of 97%</h2>\n<p>On the other end of the spectrum is the popular meme stock, movie-theater chain <b>AMC Entertainment</b> (NYSE:AMC). Every single Wall Street analyst covering the company sees significant downside in shares of AMC, from the most optimistic analyst at B. Riley, whose price target of $16 implies 57% downside, to the most pessimistic at MKM Partners, which has a $1 price target on the company, implying a decline of up to 97%.</p>\n<p>Unlike Shopify, which looks to have a bright future, AMC's most bearish price target may eventually become a reality. That's because none of the data surrounding AMC adds up.</p>\n<p>Following multiple rounds of capital raises, AMC likely had in the neighborhood of $2.2 billion in cash during the second quarter. Keep in mind that, with the company losing a lot of money at the moment, this $2.2 billion will continue to dwindle throughout 2021.</p>\n<p>The bigger issue, though, is the $5.4 billion in debt that'll need to be repaid in the coming years. Since AMC has effectively maxed out its share issuances, and its army of retail investors keeps denying CEO Adam Aron the opportunity to raise additional capital, all future debt repayments will need to be in cash. With interest expenses doubling and the company $473 million in arrears on its rent, there's pretty much no way AMC meets its debt obligations based on its current trajectory. The company's plummeting 2026 and 2027 bond prices indicate bankruptcy is a very real possibility.</p>\n<p>The allegations of institutional/hedge fund wrongdoing from AMC's impassioned retail investors also doesn't add up. Despite these folks implying that nefarious activity is present via failure to deliver, dark pools, and short-selling, none of it has ever been substantiated. It's been my contention for weeks that social-media-driven misinformation from its retail investors has been the driving force behind this stock.</p>\n<p>Although it's not going to go down in a straight line, AMC is very likely going to be walked back to the mid-single digits within the next six months to two years. There's also zero guarantee that it'll survive the next five years. That makes it a stock worth avoiding at all costs.</p>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>These Ultra-Popular Stocks May Fall 50% to 97%, According to Wall Street</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nThese Ultra-Popular Stocks May Fall 50% to 97%, According to Wall Street\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-07-29 19:32 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/07/29/ultra-popular-stocks-may-fall-50-to-97-wall-street/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>For more than a year, the stock market has been virtually unstoppable.

It's quite possible Moderna's market peaks in 2021 and tapers afterwards.\nValuation is a concern, too. While Moderna isn't pricey from a price-to-earnings perspective, most biotech stocks run into a brick wall when they hit six or seven times peak annual sales. Moderna is a bit above that level, as of this past weekend. While I'm not inclined to believe that $83 is a realistic price target in the near term, I do believe it's time to book profits on Moderna considering the uncertain competitive landscape and its lack of approved therapies beyond mRNA-1273.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nShopify: Implied decline of 50%\nYour eyes are not deceiving you -- that really says Shopify (NYSE:SHOP). Although the cloud-based e-commerce platform is a favorite among growth stock investors, one Wall Street analyst isn't a fan. The low-water analyst target of $825 would represent an implied decline in Shopify's stock of 50%.\nThe most logical reason for Wall Street analysts to be skeptical of Shopify's upside would be its valuation. I know, \"growth stocks always trade at premiums!\" However, Shopify's premium is pushing some boundaries.\nSporting a $205 billion market cap, the company is now valued at 46 times estimated sales for 2021 and 35 times projected sales for 2022. For some context here, Shopify ended 2015 through 2018 at 11 to 16 times sales and has averaged a revenue multiple of 28 over the past five years.\nTo boot, even though Shopify is profitable on a recurring basis, it has a forward price-to-earnings ratio of almost 330. Again, there's some leeway given to hypergrowth stocks on the valuation front, but Shopify is certainly pushing those traditional boundaries.\nOn the other hand, Shopify has proved it's an absolute e-commerce beast. We were already witnessing businesses transitioning online and into the cloud long before the pandemic. However, COVID-19 pushed this trend into overdrive.\nDuring the first quarter, 137% growth in merchant-solutions revenue ultimately pushed the gross merchandise volume (GMV) traversing its platform up 114% from the prior-year period. While triple-digit GMV growth likely isn't sustainable, Shopify seems a good bet to increase its share of e-commerce activity in the U.S.\nShopify has landed some pretty big names as clients, too. Both Walmart and Pinterest are on board, and the company saw partner referrals up 73% at the end of March, compared to the prior-year period.\nWhile I can support the idea that Shopify's upside may be limited in the near term, I don't believe Wall Street's most-pessimistic price target of $825 is in the cards.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nAMC Entertainment: Implied decline of 97%\nOn the other end of the spectrum is the popular meme stock, movie-theater chain AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC). Every single Wall Street analyst covering the company sees significant downside in shares of AMC, from the most optimistic analyst at B. Riley, whose price target of $16 implies 57% downside, to the most pessimistic at MKM Partners, which has a $1 price target on the company, implying a decline of up to 97%.\nUnlike Shopify, which looks to have a bright future, AMC's most bearish price target may eventually become a reality. That's because none of the data surrounding AMC adds up.\nFollowing multiple rounds of capital raises, AMC likely had in the neighborhood of $2.2 billion in cash during the second quarter. Keep in mind that, with the company losing a lot of money at the moment, this $2.2 billion will continue to dwindle throughout 2021.\nThe bigger issue, though, is the $5.4 billion in debt that'll need to be repaid in the coming years. Since AMC has effectively maxed out its share issuances, and its army of retail investors keeps denying CEO Adam Aron the opportunity to raise additional capital, all future debt repayments will need to be in cash. With interest expenses doubling and the company $473 million in arrears on its rent, there's pretty much no way AMC meets its debt obligations based on its current trajectory. The company's plummeting 2026 and 2027 bond prices indicate bankruptcy is a very real possibility.\nThe allegations of institutional/hedge fund wrongdoing from AMC's impassioned retail investors also doesn't add up. Despite these folks implying that nefarious activity is present via failure to deliver, dark pools, and short-selling, none of it has ever been substantiated. It's been my contention for weeks that social-media-driven misinformation from its retail investors has been the driving force behind this stock.\nAlthough it's not going to go down in a straight line, AMC is very likely going to be walked back to the mid-single digits within the next six months to two years. There's also zero guarantee that it'll survive the next five years. That makes it a stock worth avoiding at all costs.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":265,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":176839467,"gmtCreate":1626875450559,"gmtModify":1633770212565,"author":{"id":"3578782731604671","authorId":"3578782731604671","name":"Jonno123","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ee063ae4df931cd529ec094c1de1e242","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3578782731604671","idStr":"3578782731604671"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Apes are saving AMC.

Despite putting their money to work in equities for more than a century, retail investors moved stock prices like never before.</p>\n<p>The handful of companies these retail folks have piled into have come to be known as the \"meme stocks\" -- essentially, companies valued more for the hype they create on social media than their operating performance. At the top of the list for most meme investors is movie theater chain <b>AMC Entertainment</b> (NYSE:AMC), which until this past week was the top-performing stock on a year-to-date basis.</p>\n<h2>Wall Street and investors are wising up to the AMC pump-and-dump scheme</h2>\n<p>Unfortunately, AMC doesn't look as if it'll ever be \"going to the moon.\"</p>\n<p>The bull thesis for AMC, which disregards virtually all concrete fundamental data, relies on social media hype, constant misinformation, and outright lies to fuel an artificially higher share price. The problem is that Wall Street and investors are wising up to the misinformation and deceptive tactics being employed by AMC's emotionally driven retail investors, known as apes, which has resulted in AMC's shares losing 42% since June 28, with a lot more downside to go.</p>\n<p>Prior to the pandemic, AMC was never worth more than $3.8 billion. Today, with vaccination rates on the rise, AMC is worth $17 billion and it's:</p>\n<ul>\n <li>Nowhere near the peak sales produced before the pandemic.</li>\n <li>Losing money hand over fist, compared to being profitable prior to the pandemic.</li>\n <li>Contending with billions of dollars in additional debt.</li>\n <li>Carrying around $473 million in deferred rental obligations, as of the end of March.</li>\n <li>Clearly losing revenue to streaming competitors (e.g., <b>Walt Disney</b>'s Disney+ garnering $60 million in debut weekend revenue for <i>Black Widow</i>).</li>\n</ul>\n<p>To boot, virtually all claims made by apes to ignite a rally in AMC's share price can be easily proved as false or misleading. Consider the following as two good examples of ongoing mistruths designed to artificially inflate AMC's share price:</p>\n<ul>\n <li>Shares sold short have declined from around 102 million at the end of May to about 75.5 million as of the end of June, according to official (not estimated) data. Apes claiming short interest is climbing or \"shorts haven't covered\" are flat out wrong. This also severely dents the idea that \"a short squeeze is coming,\" which you'll hear echoed daily on social media without any proof or basis.</li>\n <li>Buying and short-selling stock has no impact whatsoever on the performance of an underlying business. This disproves the idea that short-selling bankrupts companies (a core and blatantly incorrect thesis of apes), and it also demonstrates that apes didn't save AMC. The capital that saved AMC from immediate bankruptcy came from share sales and debt issuances in 2020 and early January. Operating performance, not buying and selling activity from investors, determines if a company is successful or fails.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>It may be a choppy road lower, but make no mistake about it, the jig is up and we've entered the dump phase of the cycle.</p>\n<h2>This trio of stocks can go to the moon</h2>\n<p>The good news is that there <i>are</i> companies out there with tangible growth potential that really could go to the moon. If you allow your investment thesis to play out, all three of the following stocks can blast off.</p>\n<h2>Sea Limited</h2>\n<p>Don't let anyone tell you large-cap stocks can't go to the moon. Despite its seemingly lofty $144 billion market cap, Singapore-based <b>Sea Limited</b> (NYSE:SE) has three rapidly growing operating segments that could make investors rich.</p>\n<p>For the moment, Sea is generating all of its positive earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) from its gaming division. The popularity of Sea's mobile games, coupled with the pandemic keeping more people in their homes, pushed the company's quarterly active users higher by 61% in the first quarter to 649 million. More importantly, 12.3% of these users were paying to play, which is considerably higher than the industry average.</p>\n<p>Over the long run, e-commerce platform Shopee is what'll generate the most buzz. For example, the $12.6 billion in gross merchandise value (GMV) that was purchased on Shopee in Q1 2021 handily surpasses total GMV from all of 2018. Shopee is the most downloaded shopping app in Southeast Asia, and it's quickly gaining traction in Brazil.</p>\n<p>Thirdly, Sea has a relatively nascent but fast-growing digital financial services segment. When the first quarter came to a close, it had more than 26 million paying mobile wallet customers. Since many of the emerging markets Sea operates in are somewhat underbanked, this digital financial services division could be a sneaky long-term growth driver.</p>\n<h2>Skillz</h2>\n<p>Another high-growth stock that could eventually go to the moon is esports and gaming company <b>Skillz</b> (NYSE:SKLZ).</p>\n<p>Admittedly, gaming is a highly competitive industry. Developing new games is a time-consuming and costly process, and there's no guarantee that a new game will be well-received. It's for all of these reasons that Skillz didn't go the traditional development route. Rather, it operates a gaming platform that allows players to compete against each other for cash prizes. Maintaining this platform doesn't cost an arm and a leg (gross margin has consistently been 95%), and both Skillz and gaming developers get to keep a cut of the cash prizes.</p>\n<p>When the first quarter came to a close, Skillz had approximately 467,000 monthly active users (MAUs) that were paying to pay on its platform. That's 17% of its MAU base. According to Wappier Gaming Apps, the conversion rate for paying gamers ranged from 1.6% to 2% in 2020. In other words, Skillz is converting casual gamers to paying members at a considerably higher rate than other gaming companies.</p>\n<p>Skillz also has an incredibly lucrative partnership in its back pocket. In February, it signed a multiyear agreement with the National Football League (NFL). Football is the most popular sport by a long shot in the U.S. The expectation is that we'll see NFL-themed games and competitions hitting the platform by no later than 2022.</p>\n<p>Though Skillz is likely to lose money through 2022 as it beefs up marketing, its insane growth potential and potentially lucrative margins can't be overlooked.</p>\n<h2>Trulieve Cannabis</h2>\n<p>A final stock that can go to the moon is U.S. marijuana stock <b>Trulieve Cannabis</b> (OTC:TCNNF).

Despite putting their money to work in equities for more than a century, retail investors moved stock prices like never before.\nThe handful of companies these retail folks have piled into have come to be known as the \"meme stocks\" -- essentially, companies valued more for the hype they create on social media than their operating performance. At the top of the list for most meme investors is movie theater chain AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC), which until this past week was the top-performing stock on a year-to-date basis.\nWall Street and investors are wising up to the AMC pump-and-dump scheme\nUnfortunately, AMC doesn't look as if it'll ever be \"going to the moon.\"\nThe bull thesis for AMC, which disregards virtually all concrete fundamental data, relies on social media hype, constant misinformation, and outright lies to fuel an artificially higher share price. The problem is that Wall Street and investors are wising up to the misinformation and deceptive tactics being employed by AMC's emotionally driven retail investors, known as apes, which has resulted in AMC's shares losing 42% since June 28, with a lot more downside to go.\nPrior to the pandemic, AMC was never worth more than $3.8 billion. Today, with vaccination rates on the rise, AMC is worth $17 billion and it's:\n\nNowhere near the peak sales produced before the pandemic.\nLosing money hand over fist, compared to being profitable prior to the pandemic.\nContending with billions of dollars in additional debt.\nCarrying around $473 million in deferred rental obligations, as of the end of March.\nClearly losing revenue to streaming competitors (e.g., Walt Disney's Disney+ garnering $60 million in debut weekend revenue for Black Widow).\n\nTo boot, virtually all claims made by apes to ignite a rally in AMC's share price can be easily proved as false or misleading. Consider the following as two good examples of ongoing mistruths designed to artificially inflate AMC's share price:\n\nShares sold short have declined from around 102 million at the end of May to about 75.5 million as of the end of June, according to official (not estimated) data. Apes claiming short interest is climbing or \"shorts haven't covered\" are flat out wrong. This also severely dents the idea that \"a short squeeze is coming,\" which you'll hear echoed daily on social media without any proof or basis.\nBuying and short-selling stock has no impact whatsoever on the performance of an underlying business. This disproves the idea that short-selling bankrupts companies (a core and blatantly incorrect thesis of apes), and it also demonstrates that apes didn't save AMC. The capital that saved AMC from immediate bankruptcy came from share sales and debt issuances in 2020 and early January. Operating performance, not buying and selling activity from investors, determines if a company is successful or fails.\n\nIt may be a choppy road lower, but make no mistake about it, the jig is up and we've entered the dump phase of the cycle.\nThis trio of stocks can go to the moon\nThe good news is that there are companies out there with tangible growth potential that really could go to the moon. If you allow your investment thesis to play out, all three of the following stocks can blast off.\nSea Limited\nDon't let anyone tell you large-cap stocks can't go to the moon. Despite its seemingly lofty $144 billion market cap, Singapore-based Sea Limited (NYSE:SE) has three rapidly growing operating segments that could make investors rich.\nFor the moment, Sea is generating all of its positive earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) from its gaming division. The popularity of Sea's mobile games, coupled with the pandemic keeping more people in their homes, pushed the company's quarterly active users higher by 61% in the first quarter to 649 million. More importantly, 12.3% of these users were paying to play, which is considerably higher than the industry average.\nOver the long run, e-commerce platform Shopee is what'll generate the most buzz. For example, the $12.6 billion in gross merchandise value (GMV) that was purchased on Shopee in Q1 2021 handily surpasses total GMV from all of 2018. Shopee is the most downloaded shopping app in Southeast Asia, and it's quickly gaining traction in Brazil.\nThirdly, Sea has a relatively nascent but fast-growing digital financial services segment. When the first quarter came to a close, it had more than 26 million paying mobile wallet customers. Since many of the emerging markets Sea operates in are somewhat underbanked, this digital financial services division could be a sneaky long-term growth driver.\nSkillz\nAnother high-growth stock that could eventually go to the moon is esports and gaming company Skillz (NYSE:SKLZ).\nAdmittedly, gaming is a highly competitive industry. Developing new games is a time-consuming and costly process, and there's no guarantee that a new game will be well-received. It's for all of these reasons that Skillz didn't go the traditional development route. Rather, it operates a gaming platform that allows players to compete against each other for cash prizes. Maintaining this platform doesn't cost an arm and a leg (gross margin has consistently been 95%), and both Skillz and gaming developers get to keep a cut of the cash prizes.\nWhen the first quarter came to a close, Skillz had approximately 467,000 monthly active users (MAUs) that were paying to pay on its platform. That's 17% of its MAU base. According to Wappier Gaming Apps, the conversion rate for paying gamers ranged from 1.6% to 2% in 2020. In other words, Skillz is converting casual gamers to paying members at a considerably higher rate than other gaming companies.\nSkillz also has an incredibly lucrative partnership in its back pocket. In February, it signed a multiyear agreement with the National Football League (NFL). Football is the most popular sport by a long shot in the U.S. The expectation is that we'll see NFL-themed games and competitions hitting the platform by no later than 2022.\nThough Skillz is likely to lose money through 2022 as it beefs up marketing, its insane growth potential and potentially lucrative margins can't be overlooked.\nTrulieve Cannabis\nA final stock that can go to the moon is U.S. marijuana stock Trulieve Cannabis (OTC:TCNNF). According to New Frontier Data, the U.S. pot industry could be generating north of $41 billion in annual sales by 2025.\nWhereas most U.S. multistate operators are angling to have a presence in as many legalized markets as possible, Trulieve has taken on a strategy that looked odd at first, but has paid off incredibly well. Of the 91 dispensaries it had open in early July, 85 of them were located in medical marijuana-legal Florida. By absolutely saturating the Sunshine State, Trulieve has effectively gobbled up around half of all dried cannabis flower and oils market share. At the same time, its marketing costs have been kept low, pushing the company to 13 consecutive quarters of profitability.\nBut make no mistake about it, Trulieve does have aspirations of moving beyond Florida. For instance, it recently announced the largest U.S. cannabis acquisition in history -- a $2.1 billion all-stock deal to acquire multistate operator Harvest Health & Recreation (OTC:HRVSF). Harvest has a focus on five states, one of which is Florida. This means Trulieve's presence in the Sunshine State will soon get even bigger.\nHowever, the real lure of this deal is the 15 dispensaries Harvest Health operates in its home market of Arizona, a state that legalized recreational weed in November. Trulieve shouldn't have any problem taking its Florida blueprint and applying it in other key markets. This gives it a good chance to go to the moon in the future.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":489,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":127028983,"gmtCreate":1624805427142,"gmtModify":1631884219145,"author":{"id":"3578782731604671","authorId":"3578782731604671","name":"Jonno123","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ee063ae4df931cd529ec094c1de1e242","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3578782731604671","idStr":"3578782731604671"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Just gotta remember that this trade is a swing one.

Given its massive scale, well-known brand name, consistent offering of the top box office hits, and strategic locations, AMC holds a competitive advantage over smaller-scale movie theater competitors.\nWhile the company is currently riding the momentum from the re-opening of the economy as COVID-19 cases rapidly decline, its long-term fundamentals remain under threat. Online streaming services and on-demand video viewing are surging, rapidly eroding market share for AMC. Additionally, AMC suffered steep losses in 2020 due to the COVID-19 lockdowns and the general public’s fear of going to crowded public places.\nDespite the recent and long-term headwinds confronting the industry, the “date night” and “out with friends” appeal that the well-located AMC theaters offer is unlikely to go away, at least for the foreseeable future. As a result, while growth may be nonexistent moving forward, there is certainly space for AMC in the economy over the next decade, and it should be able to generate cash flow. (See AMC Entertainment stock chart on TipRanks)\nValuation Metrics\nThat said, just because the company should remain viable does not mean it is a good investment right now. Revenues are expected to increase nearly four times from 2020 lows by 2022, but they will still likely be below 2019 levels. \nAdditionally, EBITDA margins are expected to significantly trail 2019 levels, continuing the long-term declines in profitability. The company is also expected to continue bleeding cash this year and next, putting pressure on its already heavily leveraged balance sheet.\nWhile management has been able to take advantage of the Wall Street Bets-inspired mania surrounding its stock to raise a significant sum of equity capital, the harsh reality is that it still faces a mountain of debt. The company only has $813 million in cash on hand as of its latest quarterly report, against nearly $5.5 billion in long-term debt and nearly $5 billion in capital leases. \nEven more concerning is that its current ratio is a meager 0.64x and the company is generating negative EBITDA, meaning that its cannot cover its interest expense from internally generated cash flows.\nLast, but not least, the stock has become appallingly expensive, as its forward enterprise value-to-sales ratio is a sky-high 11.7x, compared to its historical average of 2x. Despite AMC's highly leveraged balance sheet and deteriorating fundamentals, the stock is still costly.\nWall Street’s Take\nFrom Wall Street analysts, AMC earns a Hold analyst consensus based on 1 Buy rating, 4 Hold ratings, and 3 Sell ratings in the past 3 months. Additionally, the average analyst AMC price target of $3.30 puts the downside potential at a whopping 94.3%. \n\n\n\nSummary and Conclusions\nAMC is coming out of a rough 2020, where it barely avoided bankruptcy. At the same time, its long-term growth potential is evaporating at the expense of explosive growth in online streaming and view-on-demand services. \nThat said, the company has received new life from the re-opening of the economy and a large infusion of speculative capital from the Wall Street Bets crowd. That capital has caused its equity valuation to balloon and has given the company significant new equity capital.\nWhile management is using this as a lifeline to deleverage as rapidly as possible, it is not clear if it will be enough to tide the company over until it can become cashflow positive again. Furthermore, the valuation is so high that it is unlikely that shareholders will receive attractive long-term returns on their investments, even if the company does survive its current cash crunch.\nOverall, this stock might be a bit a too risky for long-term investors. It should probably be strictly viewed as a short-term speculative candidate.\nDisclosure: On the date of publication, Samuel Smith had no position in any of the companies discussed in this article.\nDisclaimer: The information contained herein is for informational purposes only.

The stock has been the subject of a virtual tug of war between retail traders and Wall Street, with each side betting on an opposite outcome in AMC's stock price. So far, the retail traders are crushing Wall Street: AMC stock is up 2,230% year to date as of Friday's close. To add fuel to that fire, the summer movie season is under way, and with coronavirus trends all moving in a positive direction in the U.S., AMC could experience a surge in viewers.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4bb531efbf81e26901c99419e60ac186\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>AMC stock is up nearly 2,500% in 2021. Image source: Getty Images.</p>\n<h3>Seats are filling up in AMC theaters again</h3>\n<p>The summer movie season is off to a great start with the release of two new films: <i>A Quite Place 2 </i>and<i> Cruella. </i>That's just about as good as it can get considering the circumstances. Although nearly all of AMC's theaters have reopened in the U.S, significant capacity restrictions remain.</p>\n<p>In roughly two weeks since its release, <b>Walt Disney</b>'s&nbsp;<i>Cruella</i> has grossed $86.8 million at the box office worldwide despite being also available on Disney+ (for an additional fee of $29.99 to subscribers). Thus far, the reasonably robust box office total, under restricted seating capacity and a simultaneous release on a streaming service, is good news for AMC.</p>\n<p>In contrast, <i>A Quiet Place 2</i> is opening under a 45-day exclusive theatrical window. Box office totals for the film, released on the same weekend as <i>Cruella,</i> come to $138 million worldwide.</p>\n<p>The outperformance of <i>A Quiet Place 2</i> could be due to the film's exclusive availability at theaters. However, it would be reasonable to expect some folks deciding to watch <i>Cruella</i> on Disney+. Still, getting visitors back inside movie theaters is a win for AMC.</p>\n<p>Moreover, <i>F9: The Fast Saga</i>, another part of the successful <i>Fast and Furious</i> film franchise, is set to be released in U.S. theaters on June 25. The ninth installment has already been successful elsewhere in the world, grossing over $250 million at the international box office.</p>\n<p>With a few more blockbusters coming into theaters soon, this could be a summer of recovery for AMC.</p>\n<h3>What this could mean for investors</h3>\n<p>That could be a huge gain for the company's efforts in removing cash flow problems. AMC burned through $312.9 million in cash in the most recent quarter. That's a rate of about $104 million per month. AMC has to pay rent on its movie theaters whether it has people in the seats or not. Since most of its costs are fixed, getting viewers in attendance generates positive cash flow for AMC even if it remains in negative net-income territory.</p>\n<p>On average, an AMC moviegoer spends 72% of the price of a ticket on food and beverage.

The stock has been the subject of a virtual tug of war between retail traders and Wall Street, with each side betting on an opposite outcome in AMC's stock price. So far, the retail traders are crushing Wall Street: AMC stock is up 2,230% year to date as of Friday's close. To add fuel to that fire, the summer movie season is under way, and with coronavirus trends all moving in a positive direction in the U.S., AMC could experience a surge in viewers.\n\nAMC stock is up nearly 2,500% in 2021. Image source: Getty Images.\nSeats are filling up in AMC theaters again\nThe summer movie season is off to a great start with the release of two new films: A Quite Place 2 and Cruella. That's just about as good as it can get considering the circumstances. Although nearly all of AMC's theaters have reopened in the U.S, significant capacity restrictions remain.\nIn roughly two weeks since its release, Walt Disney's Cruella has grossed $86.8 million at the box office worldwide despite being also available on Disney+ (for an additional fee of $29.99 to subscribers). Thus far, the reasonably robust box office total, under restricted seating capacity and a simultaneous release on a streaming service, is good news for AMC.\nIn contrast, A Quiet Place 2 is opening under a 45-day exclusive theatrical window. Box office totals for the film, released on the same weekend as Cruella, come to $138 million worldwide.\nThe outperformance of A Quiet Place 2 could be due to the film's exclusive availability at theaters. However, it would be reasonable to expect some folks deciding to watch Cruella on Disney+. Still, getting visitors back inside movie theaters is a win for AMC.\nMoreover, F9: The Fast Saga, another part of the successful Fast and Furious film franchise, is set to be released in U.S. theaters on June 25. The ninth installment has already been successful elsewhere in the world, grossing over $250 million at the international box office.\nWith a few more blockbusters coming into theaters soon, this could be a summer of recovery for AMC.\nWhat this could mean for investors\nThat could be a huge gain for the company's efforts in removing cash flow problems. AMC burned through $312.9 million in cash in the most recent quarter. That's a rate of about $104 million per month. AMC has to pay rent on its movie theaters whether it has people in the seats or not. Since most of its costs are fixed, getting viewers in attendance generates positive cash flow for AMC even if it remains in negative net-income territory.\nOn average, an AMC moviegoer spends 72% of the price of a ticket on food and beverage. Add in the fact that AMC makes more in operating profit from viewers buying food and beverage than it does from ticket sales, and AMC could be generating positive cash flow from operations by the end of the second quarter. That is, of course, if there are no further disruptions from a resurgence of coronavirus cases.\nThe increase in cash flow, combined with the $1.246 billion in equity capital it has raised in recent months, should go a long way toward shoring up AMC's balance sheet and giving the battered movie theater chain more time to recover from the devastations of the coronavirus pandemic. And that should give the millions of retail investors rooting for the success of AMC stock something to cheer about.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":92,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":188041132,"gmtCreate":1623417966126,"gmtModify":1634033494338,"author":{"id":"3578782731604671","authorId":"3578782731604671","name":"Jonno123","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ee063ae4df931cd529ec094c1de1e242","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3578782731604671","idStr":"3578782731604671"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"To the moon 🚀🚀🚀","listText":"To the moon 🚀🚀🚀","text":"To the moon 🚀🚀🚀","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/188041132","repostId":"1189985902","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"1189985902","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1623416781,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1189985902?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-06-11 21:06","market":"us","language":"en","title":"AMC Entertainment: Embracing The Absurd","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1189985902","media":"seekingalpha","summary":"Summary\n\nI am cautiously bullish even with AMC severely overvalued.\nAMC was granted two gifts so far","content":"<p><b>Summary</b></p>\n<ul>\n <li>I am cautiously bullish even with AMC severely overvalued.</li>\n <li>AMC was granted two gifts so far, the ending of the pandemic and millions of apes descending onto the scene.</li>\n <li>Adam Aron and the AMC team must be thinking creatively for ultimate survival.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Deep breath and exhale - I can’t believe I am about to do this.

With three wishes at his fingertips, the pursuit to save AMC promptly ensued.</p>\n<p><b>Wish 1: end the pandemic</b></p>\n<p>The obvious first wish, ending the pandemic to allow people to return to some normalcy may have been somewhat selfishly aimed at getting theaters filled, but in reality, we all would have made that the first wish as well. It still may take some time to get everyone back on board with enough confidence to fill the seats. If the images from the first full capacity Bruins game on Saturday May 29 are any indicator, most are ready.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fece3e8653eec6c62a1f820a89127ac3\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"328\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p><i>Source: Author</i></p>\n<p><b>Wish 2: liquidity</b></p>\n<p>By the humorous way the second wish was granted, it is apparent that Adam Aron stumbled upon the lamp containing the greatest genie of all time. There’s only one genie that could creatively and comically have millions of apes descend onto the movie scene chanting the ‘Save AMC’ mantra. As the 6 month market cap chart below shows, the mega big screen and comedic spirit infused genie isn’t only hilarious but effective too. The ape driven liquidity improvements are buying AMC the much needed capital for survival and future growth.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/bfe58a62e3e505e194f7696d896e6d59\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"236\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p><i>Source:SA Charts</i></p>\n<p>Surely there aren’t enough words or tweets that Adam Aron can express for the gratitude he owes to the diamond handed WSB AMC apes. With a wink to the heavens, the Investor Connect program as texted by Aron is a nice gesture of gratitude and should prove to be well received by the truly diamond handed.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/15cc04b8b658fc8fd1e372b7e911c9bd\" tg-width=\"400\" tg-height=\"571\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p><i>Source: Twitter</i></p>\n<p>The second wish to repair liquidity is still in the mid-grant stage and by no means over or even a foregone conclusion as many battles are ongoing across multiple fronts.</p>\n<p>First and foremost, the psychological internal battle that every investor deals with, never truly knowing when to buy or sell, is the largest risk to share price. The more a stock becomes disjointed with the fundamental realities, the greater the struggle. Investors internally debate, rationalize and self-negotiate with the following unknown questions:</p>\n<ul>\n <li>Is a double, triple or a ten bagger enough?</li>\n <li>Should I take short term profits on all or some?</li>\n <li>Momentum seems strong, should I buy more at these levels in hopes to ride it higher?</li>\n <li>Should I just keep it on the table for the long term?</li>\n <li>Who will blink first?</li>\n</ul>\n<p>These psychological effects normally follow a scripted playbook that technical analysts can normally rely on. However, meme stocks are not normal by any stretch as witnessed by the extreme emotional back and forth battle between sellers and buyers. Sellers will be hanging on for dear life as they attempt to remain solvent as they wait out the inevitable selling frenzy. Buyers will attempt to hang on for as long as possible in hopes to inflict as much pain on the sellers as possible, also keeping an eye on solvency.</p>\n<p>Objectively and mathematically speaking, bulls will always have an inherent advantage. Downward losses in any equity is finite while upward gains in any given equity is infinite. It really does come down to supply and demand. Bears rely on poor management, a failing business model and most importantly the unwillingness of bulls to fund failure.</p>\n<p>AMC was given a great gift and they have capitalized through much needed dilution. Adam Aron and the AMC team must be extremely diligent not to go all paper-handed. The delicate balancing act on the head of the pin with respect to over diluting could most certainly trigger a selloff of epic proportions. The paper-hand temptations exist everywhere and the bears know it and rely on it. That is why the fundamentals do matter a lot and must be drastically and positively changed and in a hurry.</p>\n<p>Now that millions of apes have put a band aid on AMC, it is imperative for Aron to put forth a winning strategic business plan leading into any further dilution. Dilution for debt recovery alone won't do enough. Dilution for growth and earnings is the only viable solution.</p>\n<p><b>The final wish</b></p>\n<p>So we all know what Adam Aron’s first two wishes were. One to end the pandemic and the other to band aid liquidity issues, which both were granted. Now here we are waiting to see what the third wish will be. The third wish needs to be innovative, forward thinking, large scale and most importantly deliver explosive ever-increasing profitable growth. Adam Aron better be thinking in comparative scale of what Steve Jobs brought to the table for Apple when he re-took the helm in 1997.</p>\n<p>Of course, AMC can take the windfall for what it is to restructure debt while plodding along the same narrow path of falling revenues and increasing operating costs, which will certainly buy some time. However, debt reduction and restructuring should not be investors' primary concern. Investors must be looking for AMC to use the next capital raise for fundamental change that profitably taps into the enormous entertainment market.</p>\n<p>With these gifts that have magically appeared seemingly from thin air, AMC has this one opportunity to redefine itself. AMC can take a multitude of directions to put big smiles on the apes funding this defining moment. Here are a few off-the-cuff thoughts that could be game changing as examples of where this investor's mind is as far as scale.</p>\n<p>Build upon the early successes of the private theater rental program.</p>\n<ul>\n <li>Reduce the number of large capacity screening rooms for more creatively designed rooms that can accommodate smaller gatherings.</li>\n <li>Utilize these rooms for other events beyond movies such as the big sports game, video gaming play / tournaments and special early viewings of exclusive streamed content.</li>\n <li>Add onsite or online betting for the sporting events.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>A game-changing acquisition, merger or partnerships to capture a broader market presence.</p>\n<ul>\n <li>A few more ape dollars in share price could allow for an offering to Cinemark shareholders that could easily absorb their $2.8B market cap. The combined force would help level the playing field with the vertical influences within the entertainment industry.</li>\n <li>A synergistic shared real estate partnership with WSB perennial favorite GameStop (GME) as theaters share commonality for both movie watching and video game-play.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Although creating scenarios and narratives are fun and are a big part of my strategy when looking for coal with diamond possibilities, investor must not get buried in whimsical ideals and ignore realities. AMC leadership will determine if this meme gift will be game changing for investors or will just merely be a cash grab for executives and insiders.</p>\n<p><b>Conclusion</b></p>\n<p>My bullish stance is completely predicated on the opportunity that this 'Save AMC' effort is giving AMC. The next moves by Adam Aron and AMC will certainly be a driving force in determining whether or not my hands are made of diamonds or of paper. Reopening theaters and going back to the dismal mode of operation that existed pre-COVID alone will not suffice. In fact, if that is the plan, sellers should hang on for the round-trip in share price.</p>\n<p>Of course, like everyone, the internal struggles that force buying and selling are always present. For now, I remain cautiously optimistic, AMC led by Adam Aron will lean diamond while putting forth a big effort for the ages. The first sign of AMC weakness in strategic vision will send this shareholder to the theater's exit. The pressure is on AMC to turn their hands of coal into diamond. There's a community of apes relying on it.</p>","source":"seekingalpha","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>AMC Entertainment: Embracing The Absurd</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nAMC Entertainment: Embracing The Absurd\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-06-11 21:06 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4434292-amc-embracing-the-absurd><strong>seekingalpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Summary\n\nI am cautiously bullish even with AMC severely overvalued.\nAMC was granted two gifts so far, the ending of the pandemic and millions of apes descending onto the scene.\nAdam Aron and the AMC ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4434292-amc-embracing-the-absurd\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"AMC":"AMC院线"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4434292-amc-embracing-the-absurd","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/5a36db9d73b4222bc376d24ccc48c8a4","article_id":"1189985902","content_text":"Summary\n\nI am cautiously bullish even with AMC severely overvalued.\nAMC was granted two gifts so far, the ending of the pandemic and millions of apes descending onto the scene.\nAdam Aron and the AMC team must be thinking creatively for ultimate survival.\n\nDeep breath and exhale - I can’t believe I am about to do this.

It still may take some time to get everyone back on board with enough confidence to fill the seats. If the images from the first full capacity Bruins game on Saturday May 29 are any indicator, most are ready.\n\nSource: Author\nWish 2: liquidity\nBy the humorous way the second wish was granted, it is apparent that Adam Aron stumbled upon the lamp containing the greatest genie of all time. There’s only one genie that could creatively and comically have millions of apes descend onto the movie scene chanting the ‘Save AMC’ mantra. As the 6 month market cap chart below shows, the mega big screen and comedic spirit infused genie isn’t only hilarious but effective too. The ape driven liquidity improvements are buying AMC the much needed capital for survival and future growth.\n\nSource:SA Charts\nSurely there aren’t enough words or tweets that Adam Aron can express for the gratitude he owes to the diamond handed WSB AMC apes. With a wink to the heavens, the Investor Connect program as texted by Aron is a nice gesture of gratitude and should prove to be well received by the truly diamond handed.\n\nSource: Twitter\nThe second wish to repair liquidity is still in the mid-grant stage and by no means over or even a foregone conclusion as many battles are ongoing across multiple fronts.\nFirst and foremost, the psychological internal battle that every investor deals with, never truly knowing when to buy or sell, is the largest risk to share price. The more a stock becomes disjointed with the fundamental realities, the greater the struggle. Investors internally debate, rationalize and self-negotiate with the following unknown questions:\n\nIs a double, triple or a ten bagger enough?\nShould I take short term profits on all or some?\nMomentum seems strong, should I buy more at these levels in hopes to ride it higher?\nShould I just keep it on the table for the long term?\nWho will blink first?\n\nThese psychological effects normally follow a scripted playbook that technical analysts can normally rely on. However, meme stocks are not normal by any stretch as witnessed by the extreme emotional back and forth battle between sellers and buyers. Sellers will be hanging on for dear life as they attempt to remain solvent as they wait out the inevitable selling frenzy. Buyers will attempt to hang on for as long as possible in hopes to inflict as much pain on the sellers as possible, also keeping an eye on solvency.\nObjectively and mathematically speaking, bulls will always have an inherent advantage. Downward losses in any equity is finite while upward gains in any given equity is infinite. It really does come down to supply and demand. Bears rely on poor management, a failing business model and most importantly the unwillingness of bulls to fund failure.\nAMC was given a great gift and they have capitalized through much needed dilution. Adam Aron and the AMC team must be extremely diligent not to go all paper-handed. The delicate balancing act on the head of the pin with respect to over diluting could most certainly trigger a selloff of epic proportions. The paper-hand temptations exist everywhere and the bears know it and rely on it. That is why the fundamentals do matter a lot and must be drastically and positively changed and in a hurry.\nNow that millions of apes have put a band aid on AMC, it is imperative for Aron to put forth a winning strategic business plan leading into any further dilution. Dilution for debt recovery alone won't do enough. Dilution for growth and earnings is the only viable solution.\nThe final wish\nSo we all know what Adam Aron’s first two wishes were. One to end the pandemic and the other to band aid liquidity issues, which both were granted. Now here we are waiting to see what the third wish will be. The third wish needs to be innovative, forward thinking, large scale and most importantly deliver explosive ever-increasing profitable growth. Adam Aron better be thinking in comparative scale of what Steve Jobs brought to the table for Apple when he re-took the helm in 1997.\nOf course, AMC can take the windfall for what it is to restructure debt while plodding along the same narrow path of falling revenues and increasing operating costs, which will certainly buy some time. However, debt reduction and restructuring should not be investors' primary concern. Investors must be looking for AMC to use the next capital raise for fundamental change that profitably taps into the enormous entertainment market.\nWith these gifts that have magically appeared seemingly from thin air, AMC has this one opportunity to redefine itself. AMC can take a multitude of directions to put big smiles on the apes funding this defining moment. Here are a few off-the-cuff thoughts that could be game changing as examples of where this investor's mind is as far as scale.\nBuild upon the early successes of the private theater rental program.\n\nReduce the number of large capacity screening rooms for more creatively designed rooms that can accommodate smaller gatherings.\nUtilize these rooms for other events beyond movies such as the big sports game, video gaming play / tournaments and special early viewings of exclusive streamed content.\nAdd onsite or online betting for the sporting events.\n\nA game-changing acquisition, merger or partnerships to capture a broader market presence.\n\nA few more ape dollars in share price could allow for an offering to Cinemark shareholders that could easily absorb their $2.8B market cap. The combined force would help level the playing field with the vertical influences within the entertainment industry.\nA synergistic shared real estate partnership with WSB perennial favorite GameStop (GME) as theaters share commonality for both movie watching and video game-play.\n\nAlthough creating scenarios and narratives are fun and are a big part of my strategy when looking for coal with diamond possibilities, investor must not get buried in whimsical ideals and ignore realities. AMC leadership will determine if this meme gift will be game changing for investors or will just merely be a cash grab for executives and insiders.\nConclusion\nMy bullish stance is completely predicated on the opportunity that this 'Save AMC' effort is giving AMC. The next moves by Adam Aron and AMC will certainly be a driving force in determining whether or not my hands are made of diamonds or of paper. Reopening theaters and going back to the dismal mode of operation that existed pre-COVID alone will not suffice. In fact, if that is the plan, sellers should hang on for the round-trip in share price.\nOf course, like everyone, the internal struggles that force buying and selling are always present. For now, I remain cautiously optimistic, AMC led by Adam Aron will lean diamond while putting forth a big effort for the ages. The first sign of AMC weakness in strategic vision will send this shareholder to the theater's exit. The pressure is on AMC to turn their hands of coal into diamond. There's a community of apes relying on it.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":122,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":181545930,"gmtCreate":1623403824920,"gmtModify":1634033699527,"author":{"id":"3578782731604671","authorId":"3578782731604671","name":"Jonno123","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ee063ae4df931cd529ec094c1de1e242","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3578782731604671","idStr":"3578782731604671"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Well, looks like it's time to buy the dip 😁 Diamond Hands all the way!!!🚀🚀🚀","listText":"Well, looks like it's time to buy the dip 😁 Diamond Hands all the way!!!🚀🚀🚀","text":"Well, looks like it's time to buy the dip 😁 Diamond Hands all the way!!!🚀🚀🚀","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/181545930","repostId":"2142278359","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2142278359","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1623382532,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2142278359?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-06-11 11:35","market":"us","language":"en","title":"AMC Investors Hit Sell Button amid Meme-Stock Meltdown","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2142278359","media":"FX Empire","summary":"Meme stocks are having a tough day, and AMC Entertainment is among the hardest-hit names.

On last&nbsp;Wednesday, its shares skyrocketed another 95.6% after the company announced it would launch an exclusive web platform for retail investors. Shareholders would receive many perks, including free popcorn, exclusive new screenings, and the chance to speak with CEO Adam Aron.</p><p>Enthusiasm about AMC's turnaround prospects have sent its shares soaring more than 400% in the past month and 2,100% year to date. Is the stock a safe investment right now?</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://g.foolcdn.com/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fg.foolcdn.com%2Feditorial%2Fimages%2F629366%2Fgettyimages-104187332.jpg&amp;w=700&amp;op=resize\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p><h2>What's behind the hype?</h2><p>During the first quarter of 2021, AMC operated 585 of its domestic theaters at just 15% to 60% capacity, while only 27% of its 133 international ones stayed partly open. People steered clear of packed indoor movie screenings with the coronavirus pandemic still going strong, but that's less of a risk as more of the U.S. population has been vaccinated.</p><p>Hence, investors are betting that AMC's revenue and earnings will experience a massive rebound starting in the second quarter. In 2019, the company generated $5.42 billion from ticket, concessions (food and beverage), and entertainment sales and posted a free cash flow of $84 million.</p><p>But there's more. The pandemic also led to extended production delays, as social distancing can be difficult on a movie set. Many producers also did not want to release completed films in a purely digital format and miss out on lucrative box office revenue.&nbsp;</p><p>There is now a massive backlog of new films from blockbuster franchise properties such as <i>Avatar</i>,&nbsp;<i>Dungeons &amp; Dragons, Ghostbusters, Halloween, Kingsman, The Matrix, Minecraft, Mission: Impossible, </i>and<i> Tomb Raider, </i>as well as several new offerings from the comic book universes of DC and Marvel. They are all scheduled to be released by the end of 2022.</p><p>The schedule is so packed that prominent films like&nbsp;<i>Black Widow</i>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<i>Cinderella&nbsp;</i>are set to hit theaters within two weeks of <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> another in July. Given its sheer size, AMC might even see its box office revenue hit record highs in 2022.</p><h2>Can you count on AMC?</h2><p>Generally speaking, most investors tend to buy on emotion and justify with reason. Now is probably time to look at the latter. When the stock was trading for just $12 last month, it looked pretty undervalued.</p><p>However, things have changed as AMC's market cap has surged to nearly $25 billion. To put things into perspective, the company's market cap was less than <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a>-fifth of that amount in 2016, before streaming services like <b>Netflix</b>&nbsp;gained momentum and took away some of its market share.&nbsp;</p><p>What's more, AMC has $5.4 billion in long-term debt and owes $4.9 billion per year in theater rent. Even in its heyday, the company operated at razor-thin margins. Now its balance sheet looks even worse as liabilities outpace its assets by over $2 billion. For these reasons, it's probably a good time to take profits on the stock and consolidate gains.</p><h2>But watch for its next move</h2><p>Based on the poor fundamentals (and experience with market bubbles), it can be very tempting to see the recent rally as nothing more than a pump-and-dump scheme or a total scam. But there is something that even prudent investors are missing.&nbsp;</p><p>With a $25 billion market cap, AMC only has to issue 22% more shares to raise cash to pay off its entire debt balance. That's right: The company has the potential to do a \"soft reset\" and start afresh. The returns would be immediate, as after closing, it would no longer have to pay $151.5 million per quarter in interest. In the first quarter of 2021, the company's interest expense outweighed its total revenue.</p><p>Not only would its profit margins increase, but it could also use new cash to increase its theater count, upgrade its recliner seats and big screens, introduce dine-in restaurants at its locations, and more. Since there is still a lot of demand from retail investors at these levels, I don't think it would have trouble finding buyers for the offering, either.</p><p>In fact, the company did just that on June 3. AMC sold 11.5 million shares of stock hours after announcing the offering, raising $587.4 million in much-needed cash. The stock fell by more than 30% from the previous day's close before recovering. Investors should continue to expect further dilutions ahead, as the new capital is still not enough for a soft reset of its liabilities.</p><p>Overall, AMC stock is very overvalued at these levels.

On last Wednesday, its shares skyrocketed another 95.6% after the company announced it would launch an exclusive web platform for retail investors. Shareholders would receive many perks, including free popcorn, exclusive new screenings, and the chance to speak with CEO Adam Aron.Enthusiasm about AMC's turnaround prospects have sent its shares soaring more than 400% in the past month and 2,100% year to date. Is the stock a safe investment right now?Image source: Getty Images.What's behind the hype?During the first quarter of 2021, AMC operated 585 of its domestic theaters at just 15% to 60% capacity, while only 27% of its 133 international ones stayed partly open. People steered clear of packed indoor movie screenings with the coronavirus pandemic still going strong, but that's less of a risk as more of the U.S. population has been vaccinated.Hence, investors are betting that AMC's revenue and earnings will experience a massive rebound starting in the second quarter. In 2019, the company generated $5.42 billion from ticket, concessions (food and beverage), and entertainment sales and posted a free cash flow of $84 million.But there's more. The pandemic also led to extended production delays, as social distancing can be difficult on a movie set. Many producers also did not want to release completed films in a purely digital format and miss out on lucrative box office revenue. There is now a massive backlog of new films from blockbuster franchise properties such as Avatar, Dungeons & Dragons, Ghostbusters, Halloween, Kingsman, The Matrix, Minecraft, Mission: Impossible, and Tomb Raider, as well as several new offerings from the comic book universes of DC and Marvel. They are all scheduled to be released by the end of 2022.The schedule is so packed that prominent films like Black Widow and Cinderella are set to hit theaters within two weeks of one another in July. Given its sheer size, AMC might even see its box office revenue hit record highs in 2022.Can you count on AMC?Generally speaking, most investors tend to buy on emotion and justify with reason. Now is probably time to look at the latter. When the stock was trading for just $12 last month, it looked pretty undervalued.However, things have changed as AMC's market cap has surged to nearly $25 billion. To put things into perspective, the company's market cap was less than one-fifth of that amount in 2016, before streaming services like Netflix gained momentum and took away some of its market share. What's more, AMC has $5.4 billion in long-term debt and owes $4.9 billion per year in theater rent. Even in its heyday, the company operated at razor-thin margins. Now its balance sheet looks even worse as liabilities outpace its assets by over $2 billion. For these reasons, it's probably a good time to take profits on the stock and consolidate gains.But watch for its next moveBased on the poor fundamentals (and experience with market bubbles), it can be very tempting to see the recent rally as nothing more than a pump-and-dump scheme or a total scam. But there is something that even prudent investors are missing. With a $25 billion market cap, AMC only has to issue 22% more shares to raise cash to pay off its entire debt balance. That's right: The company has the potential to do a \"soft reset\" and start afresh. The returns would be immediate, as after closing, it would no longer have to pay $151.5 million per quarter in interest. In the first quarter of 2021, the company's interest expense outweighed its total revenue.Not only would its profit margins increase, but it could also use new cash to increase its theater count, upgrade its recliner seats and big screens, introduce dine-in restaurants at its locations, and more. Since there is still a lot of demand from retail investors at these levels, I don't think it would have trouble finding buyers for the offering, either.In fact, the company did just that on June 3. AMC sold 11.5 million shares of stock hours after announcing the offering, raising $587.4 million in much-needed cash. The stock fell by more than 30% from the previous day's close before recovering. Investors should continue to expect further dilutions ahead, as the new capital is still not enough for a soft reset of its liabilities.Overall, AMC stock is very overvalued at these levels. But thanks to the help of 10.3 million traders/followers/influencers of WallStreetBets, the company now has the option to refinance or eliminate its crippling liabilities. If the share price comes down to something more reasonable (say, $20), I'd definitely give the new AMC a chance. For now, check out these alternatives instead.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":422,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":115361226,"gmtCreate":1622952156765,"gmtModify":1634096640749,"author":{"id":"3578782731604671","authorId":"3578782731604671","name":"Jonno123","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ee063ae4df931cd529ec094c1de1e242","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3578782731604671","idStr":"3578782731604671"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"To the moon!!!","listText":"To the moon!!!","text":"To the moon!!!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/115361226","repostId":"1173473450","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1173473450","kind":"news","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Stock Market Quotes, Business News, Financial News, Trading Ideas, and Stock Research by Professionals","home_visible":0,"media_name":"Benzinga","id":"1052270027","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d08bf7808052c0ca9deb4e944cae32aa"},"pubTimestamp":1622942100,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1173473450?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-06-06 09:15","market":"us","language":"en","title":"How The AMC Squeeze Compares To The GameStop Run: Are Buyers Just Playing A Game?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1173473450","media":"Benzinga","summary":"AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc held on to its weekly gains in early afternoon trading on Friday afte","content":"<p><b>AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc</b>&nbsp;held on to its weekly gains in early afternoon trading on Friday after a sharp pullback in Thursday’s session.</p>\n<p>Heading into next week, AMC traders will be asking themselves if this week’s run-up is a&nbsp;repeat of January trading action&nbsp;in&nbsp;<b>GameStop Corp.</b>, or if the rally in AMC had legs.</p>\n<p><b>Deja Vu?</b>GameStop shares hit their all-time high of $483 on Jan. 28.

On last&nbsp;Wednesday, its shares skyrocketed another 95.6% after the company announced it would launch an exclusive web platform for retail investors. Shareholders would receive many perks, including free popcorn, exclusive new screenings, and the chance to speak with CEO Adam Aron.</p><p>Enthusiasm about AMC's turnaround prospects have sent its shares soaring more than 400% in the past month and 2,100% year to date. Is the stock a safe investment right now?</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://g.foolcdn.com/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fg.foolcdn.com%2Feditorial%2Fimages%2F629366%2Fgettyimages-104187332.jpg&amp;w=700&amp;op=resize\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p><h2>What's behind the hype?</h2><p>During the first quarter of 2021, AMC operated 585 of its domestic theaters at just 15% to 60% capacity, while only 27% of its 133 international ones stayed partly open. People steered clear of packed indoor movie screenings with the coronavirus pandemic still going strong, but that's less of a risk as more of the U.S. population has been vaccinated.</p><p>Hence, investors are betting that AMC's revenue and earnings will experience a massive rebound starting in the second quarter. In 2019, the company generated $5.42 billion from ticket, concessions (food and beverage), and entertainment sales and posted a free cash flow of $84 million.</p><p>But there's more. The pandemic also led to extended production delays, as social distancing can be difficult on a movie set. Many producers also did not want to release completed films in a purely digital format and miss out on lucrative box office revenue.&nbsp;</p><p>There is now a massive backlog of new films from blockbuster franchise properties such as <i>Avatar</i>,&nbsp;<i>Dungeons &amp; Dragons, Ghostbusters, Halloween, Kingsman, The Matrix, Minecraft, Mission: Impossible, </i>and<i> Tomb Raider, </i>as well as several new offerings from the comic book universes of DC and Marvel. They are all scheduled to be released by the end of 2022.</p><p>The schedule is so packed that prominent films like&nbsp;<i>Black Widow</i>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<i>Cinderella&nbsp;</i>are set to hit theaters within two weeks of <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> another in July. Given its sheer size, AMC might even see its box office revenue hit record highs in 2022.</p><h2>Can you count on AMC?</h2><p>Generally speaking, most investors tend to buy on emotion and justify with reason. Now is probably time to look at the latter. When the stock was trading for just $12 last month, it looked pretty undervalued.</p><p>However, things have changed as AMC's market cap has surged to nearly $25 billion. To put things into perspective, the company's market cap was less than <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a>-fifth of that amount in 2016, before streaming services like <b>Netflix</b>&nbsp;gained momentum and took away some of its market share.&nbsp;</p><p>What's more, AMC has $5.4 billion in long-term debt and owes $4.9 billion per year in theater rent. Even in its heyday, the company operated at razor-thin margins. Now its balance sheet looks even worse as liabilities outpace its assets by over $2 billion. For these reasons, it's probably a good time to take profits on the stock and consolidate gains.</p><h2>But watch for its next move</h2><p>Based on the poor fundamentals (and experience with market bubbles), it can be very tempting to see the recent rally as nothing more than a pump-and-dump scheme or a total scam. But there is something that even prudent investors are missing.&nbsp;</p><p>With a $25 billion market cap, AMC only has to issue 22% more shares to raise cash to pay off its entire debt balance. That's right: The company has the potential to do a \"soft reset\" and start afresh. The returns would be immediate, as after closing, it would no longer have to pay $151.5 million per quarter in interest. In the first quarter of 2021, the company's interest expense outweighed its total revenue.</p><p>Not only would its profit margins increase, but it could also use new cash to increase its theater count, upgrade its recliner seats and big screens, introduce dine-in restaurants at its locations, and more. Since there is still a lot of demand from retail investors at these levels, I don't think it would have trouble finding buyers for the offering, either.</p><p>In fact, the company did just that on June 3. AMC sold 11.5 million shares of stock hours after announcing the offering, raising $587.4 million in much-needed cash. The stock fell by more than 30% from the previous day's close before recovering. Investors should continue to expect further dilutions ahead, as the new capital is still not enough for a soft reset of its liabilities.</p><p>Overall, AMC stock is very overvalued at these levels.

On last Wednesday, its shares skyrocketed another 95.6% after the company announced it would launch an exclusive web platform for retail investors. Shareholders would receive many perks, including free popcorn, exclusive new screenings, and the chance to speak with CEO Adam Aron.Enthusiasm about AMC's turnaround prospects have sent its shares soaring more than 400% in the past month and 2,100% year to date. Is the stock a safe investment right now?Image source: Getty Images.What's behind the hype?During the first quarter of 2021, AMC operated 585 of its domestic theaters at just 15% to 60% capacity, while only 27% of its 133 international ones stayed partly open. People steered clear of packed indoor movie screenings with the coronavirus pandemic still going strong, but that's less of a risk as more of the U.S. population has been vaccinated.Hence, investors are betting that AMC's revenue and earnings will experience a massive rebound starting in the second quarter. In 2019, the company generated $5.42 billion from ticket, concessions (food and beverage), and entertainment sales and posted a free cash flow of $84 million.But there's more. The pandemic also led to extended production delays, as social distancing can be difficult on a movie set. Many producers also did not want to release completed films in a purely digital format and miss out on lucrative box office revenue. There is now a massive backlog of new films from blockbuster franchise properties such as Avatar, Dungeons & Dragons, Ghostbusters, Halloween, Kingsman, The Matrix, Minecraft, Mission: Impossible, and Tomb Raider, as well as several new offerings from the comic book universes of DC and Marvel. They are all scheduled to be released by the end of 2022.The schedule is so packed that prominent films like Black Widow and Cinderella are set to hit theaters within two weeks of one another in July. Given its sheer size, AMC might even see its box office revenue hit record highs in 2022.Can you count on AMC?Generally speaking, most investors tend to buy on emotion and justify with reason. Now is probably time to look at the latter. When the stock was trading for just $12 last month, it looked pretty undervalued.However, things have changed as AMC's market cap has surged to nearly $25 billion. To put things into perspective, the company's market cap was less than one-fifth of that amount in 2016, before streaming services like Netflix gained momentum and took away some of its market share. What's more, AMC has $5.4 billion in long-term debt and owes $4.9 billion per year in theater rent. Even in its heyday, the company operated at razor-thin margins. Now its balance sheet looks even worse as liabilities outpace its assets by over $2 billion. For these reasons, it's probably a good time to take profits on the stock and consolidate gains.But watch for its next moveBased on the poor fundamentals (and experience with market bubbles), it can be very tempting to see the recent rally as nothing more than a pump-and-dump scheme or a total scam. But there is something that even prudent investors are missing. With a $25 billion market cap, AMC only has to issue 22% more shares to raise cash to pay off its entire debt balance. That's right: The company has the potential to do a \"soft reset\" and start afresh. The returns would be immediate, as after closing, it would no longer have to pay $151.5 million per quarter in interest. In the first quarter of 2021, the company's interest expense outweighed its total revenue.Not only would its profit margins increase, but it could also use new cash to increase its theater count, upgrade its recliner seats and big screens, introduce dine-in restaurants at its locations, and more. Since there is still a lot of demand from retail investors at these levels, I don't think it would have trouble finding buyers for the offering, either.In fact, the company did just that on June 3. AMC sold 11.5 million shares of stock hours after announcing the offering, raising $587.4 million in much-needed cash. The stock fell by more than 30% from the previous day's close before recovering. Investors should continue to expect further dilutions ahead, as the new capital is still not enough for a soft reset of its liabilities.Overall, AMC stock is very overvalued at these levels. But thanks to the help of 10.3 million traders/followers/influencers of WallStreetBets, the company now has the option to refinance or eliminate its crippling liabilities. If the share price comes down to something more reasonable (say, $20), I'd definitely give the new AMC a chance. For now, check out these alternatives instead.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":422,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":127028983,"gmtCreate":1624805427142,"gmtModify":1631884219145,"author":{"id":"3578782731604671","authorId":"3578782731604671","name":"Jonno123","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ee063ae4df931cd529ec094c1de1e242","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3578782731604671","idStr":"3578782731604671"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Just gotta remember that this trade is a swing one.

The stock has been the subject of a virtual tug of war between retail traders and Wall Street, with each side betting on an opposite outcome in AMC's stock price. So far, the retail traders are crushing Wall Street: AMC stock is up 2,230% year to date as of Friday's close. To add fuel to that fire, the summer movie season is under way, and with coronavirus trends all moving in a positive direction in the U.S., AMC could experience a surge in viewers.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4bb531efbf81e26901c99419e60ac186\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>AMC stock is up nearly 2,500% in 2021. Image source: Getty Images.</p>\n<h3>Seats are filling up in AMC theaters again</h3>\n<p>The summer movie season is off to a great start with the release of two new films: <i>A Quite Place 2 </i>and<i> Cruella. </i>That's just about as good as it can get considering the circumstances. Although nearly all of AMC's theaters have reopened in the U.S, significant capacity restrictions remain.</p>\n<p>In roughly two weeks since its release, <b>Walt Disney</b>'s&nbsp;<i>Cruella</i> has grossed $86.8 million at the box office worldwide despite being also available on Disney+ (for an additional fee of $29.99 to subscribers). Thus far, the reasonably robust box office total, under restricted seating capacity and a simultaneous release on a streaming service, is good news for AMC.</p>\n<p>In contrast, <i>A Quiet Place 2</i> is opening under a 45-day exclusive theatrical window. Box office totals for the film, released on the same weekend as <i>Cruella,</i> come to $138 million worldwide.</p>\n<p>The outperformance of <i>A Quiet Place 2</i> could be due to the film's exclusive availability at theaters. However, it would be reasonable to expect some folks deciding to watch <i>Cruella</i> on Disney+. Still, getting visitors back inside movie theaters is a win for AMC.</p>\n<p>Moreover, <i>F9: The Fast Saga</i>, another part of the successful <i>Fast and Furious</i> film franchise, is set to be released in U.S. theaters on June 25. The ninth installment has already been successful elsewhere in the world, grossing over $250 million at the international box office.</p>\n<p>With a few more blockbusters coming into theaters soon, this could be a summer of recovery for AMC.</p>\n<h3>What this could mean for investors</h3>\n<p>That could be a huge gain for the company's efforts in removing cash flow problems. AMC burned through $312.9 million in cash in the most recent quarter. That's a rate of about $104 million per month. AMC has to pay rent on its movie theaters whether it has people in the seats or not. Since most of its costs are fixed, getting viewers in attendance generates positive cash flow for AMC even if it remains in negative net-income territory.</p>\n<p>On average, an AMC moviegoer spends 72% of the price of a ticket on food and beverage.

The stock has been the subject of a virtual tug of war between retail traders and Wall Street, with each side betting on an opposite outcome in AMC's stock price. So far, the retail traders are crushing Wall Street: AMC stock is up 2,230% year to date as of Friday's close. To add fuel to that fire, the summer movie season is under way, and with coronavirus trends all moving in a positive direction in the U.S., AMC could experience a surge in viewers.\n\nAMC stock is up nearly 2,500% in 2021. Image source: Getty Images.\nSeats are filling up in AMC theaters again\nThe summer movie season is off to a great start with the release of two new films: A Quite Place 2 and Cruella. That's just about as good as it can get considering the circumstances. Although nearly all of AMC's theaters have reopened in the U.S, significant capacity restrictions remain.\nIn roughly two weeks since its release, Walt Disney's Cruella has grossed $86.8 million at the box office worldwide despite being also available on Disney+ (for an additional fee of $29.99 to subscribers). Thus far, the reasonably robust box office total, under restricted seating capacity and a simultaneous release on a streaming service, is good news for AMC.\nIn contrast, A Quiet Place 2 is opening under a 45-day exclusive theatrical window. Box office totals for the film, released on the same weekend as Cruella, come to $138 million worldwide.\nThe outperformance of A Quiet Place 2 could be due to the film's exclusive availability at theaters. However, it would be reasonable to expect some folks deciding to watch Cruella on Disney+. Still, getting visitors back inside movie theaters is a win for AMC.\nMoreover, F9: The Fast Saga, another part of the successful Fast and Furious film franchise, is set to be released in U.S. theaters on June 25. The ninth installment has already been successful elsewhere in the world, grossing over $250 million at the international box office.\nWith a few more blockbusters coming into theaters soon, this could be a summer of recovery for AMC.\nWhat this could mean for investors\nThat could be a huge gain for the company's efforts in removing cash flow problems. AMC burned through $312.9 million in cash in the most recent quarter. That's a rate of about $104 million per month. AMC has to pay rent on its movie theaters whether it has people in the seats or not. Since most of its costs are fixed, getting viewers in attendance generates positive cash flow for AMC even if it remains in negative net-income territory.\nOn average, an AMC moviegoer spends 72% of the price of a ticket on food and beverage. Add in the fact that AMC makes more in operating profit from viewers buying food and beverage than it does from ticket sales, and AMC could be generating positive cash flow from operations by the end of the second quarter. That is, of course, if there are no further disruptions from a resurgence of coronavirus cases.\nThe increase in cash flow, combined with the $1.246 billion in equity capital it has raised in recent months, should go a long way toward shoring up AMC's balance sheet and giving the battered movie theater chain more time to recover from the devastations of the coronavirus pandemic. And that should give the millions of retail investors rooting for the success of AMC stock something to cheer about.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":92,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":170459655,"gmtCreate":1626447099077,"gmtModify":1633926640879,"author":{"id":"3578782731604671","authorId":"3578782731604671","name":"Jonno123","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ee063ae4df931cd529ec094c1de1e242","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3578782731604671","idStr":"3578782731604671"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"FUD lol","listText":"FUD lol","text":"FUD lol","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/170459655","repostId":"2151450981","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2151450981","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1626442140,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2151450981?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-07-16 21:29","market":"us","language":"en","title":"It's Game Over for AMC, but These Stocks Can Still Go to the Moon","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2151450981","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"Retail investors looking for businesses with tangible growth prospects should consider buying this trio of companies.","content":"<p>When 2021 comes to a close, it'll undoubtedly be remembered for the way retail investors made their presence known on Wall Street.

The problem is that Wall Street and investors are wising up to the misinformation and deceptive tactics being employed by AMC's emotionally driven retail investors, known as apes, which has resulted in AMC's shares losing 42% since June 28, with a lot more downside to go.</p>\n<p>Prior to the pandemic, AMC was never worth more than $3.8 billion. Today, with vaccination rates on the rise, AMC is worth $17 billion and it's:</p>\n<ul>\n <li>Nowhere near the peak sales produced before the pandemic.</li>\n <li>Losing money hand over fist, compared to being profitable prior to the pandemic.</li>\n <li>Contending with billions of dollars in additional debt.</li>\n <li>Carrying around $473 million in deferred rental obligations, as of the end of March.</li>\n <li>Clearly losing revenue to streaming competitors (e.g., <b>Walt Disney</b>'s Disney+ garnering $60 million in debut weekend revenue for <i>Black Widow</i>).</li>\n</ul>\n<p>To boot, virtually all claims made by apes to ignite a rally in AMC's share price can be easily proved as false or misleading. Consider the following as two good examples of ongoing mistruths designed to artificially inflate AMC's share price:</p>\n<ul>\n <li>Shares sold short have declined from around 102 million at the end of May to about 75.5 million as of the end of June, according to official (not estimated) data.

This disproves the idea that short-selling bankrupts companies (a core and blatantly incorrect thesis of apes), and it also demonstrates that apes didn't save AMC. The capital that saved AMC from immediate bankruptcy came from share sales and debt issuances in 2020 and early January. Operating performance, not buying and selling activity from investors, determines if a company is successful or fails.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>It may be a choppy road lower, but make no mistake about it, the jig is up and we've entered the dump phase of the cycle.</p>\n<h2>This trio of stocks can go to the moon</h2>\n<p>The good news is that there <i>are</i> companies out there with tangible growth potential that really could go to the moon. If you allow your investment thesis to play out, all three of the following stocks can blast off.</p>\n<h2>Sea Limited</h2>\n<p>Don't let anyone tell you large-cap stocks can't go to the moon. Despite its seemingly lofty $144 billion market cap, Singapore-based <b>Sea Limited</b> (NYSE:SE) has three rapidly growing operating segments that could make investors rich.</p>\n<p>For the moment, Sea is generating all of its positive earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) from its gaming division. The popularity of Sea's mobile games, coupled with the pandemic keeping more people in their homes, pushed the company's quarterly active users higher by 61% in the first quarter to 649 million. More importantly, 12.3% of these users were paying to play, which is considerably higher than the industry average.</p>\n<p>Over the long run, e-commerce platform Shopee is what'll generate the most buzz. For example, the $12.6 billion in gross merchandise value (GMV) that was purchased on Shopee in Q1 2021 handily surpasses total GMV from all of 2018. Shopee is the most downloaded shopping app in Southeast Asia, and it's quickly gaining traction in Brazil.</p>\n<p>Thirdly, Sea has a relatively nascent but fast-growing digital financial services segment. When the first quarter came to a close, it had more than 26 million paying mobile wallet customers. Since many of the emerging markets Sea operates in are somewhat underbanked, this digital financial services division could be a sneaky long-term growth driver.</p>\n<h2>Skillz</h2>\n<p>Another high-growth stock that could eventually go to the moon is esports and gaming company <b>Skillz</b> (NYSE:SKLZ).</p>\n<p>Admittedly, gaming is a highly competitive industry. Developing new games is a time-consuming and costly process, and there's no guarantee that a new game will be well-received. It's for all of these reasons that Skillz didn't go the traditional development route. Rather, it operates a gaming platform that allows players to compete against each other for cash prizes. Maintaining this platform doesn't cost an arm and a leg (gross margin has consistently been 95%), and both Skillz and gaming developers get to keep a cut of the cash prizes.</p>\n<p>When the first quarter came to a close, Skillz had approximately 467,000 monthly active users (MAUs) that were paying to pay on its platform. That's 17% of its MAU base. According to Wappier Gaming Apps, the conversion rate for paying gamers ranged from 1.6% to 2% in 2020. In other words, Skillz is converting casual gamers to paying members at a considerably higher rate than other gaming companies.</p>\n<p>Skillz also has an incredibly lucrative partnership in its back pocket. In February, it signed a multiyear agreement with the National Football League (NFL). Football is the most popular sport by a long shot in the U.S. The expectation is that we'll see NFL-themed games and competitions hitting the platform by no later than 2022.</p>\n<p>Though Skillz is likely to lose money through 2022 as it beefs up marketing, its insane growth potential and potentially lucrative margins can't be overlooked.</p>\n<h2>Trulieve Cannabis</h2>\n<p>A final stock that can go to the moon is U.S. marijuana stock <b>Trulieve Cannabis</b> (OTC:TCNNF). According to <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/NFC.U\">New Frontier</a> Data, the U.S. pot industry could be generating north of $41 billion in annual sales by 2025.</p>\n<p>Whereas most U.S. multistate operators are angling to have a presence in as many legalized markets as possible, Trulieve has taken on a strategy that looked odd at first, but has paid off incredibly well. Of the 91 dispensaries it had open in early July, 85 of them were located in medical marijuana-legal Florida. By absolutely saturating the Sunshine State, Trulieve has effectively gobbled up around half of all dried cannabis flower and oils market share. At the same time, its marketing costs have been kept low, pushing the company to 13 consecutive quarters of profitability.</p>\n<p>But make no mistake about it, Trulieve does have aspirations of moving beyond Florida. For instance, it recently announced the largest U.S. cannabis acquisition in history -- a $2.1 billion all-stock deal to acquire multistate operator <b>Harvest Health &amp; Recreation</b> (OTC:HRVSF). Harvest has a focus on five states, <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> of which is Florida. This means Trulieve's presence in the Sunshine State will soon get even bigger.</p>\n<p>However, the real lure of this deal is the 15 dispensaries Harvest Health operates in its home market of Arizona, a state that legalized recreational weed in November. Trulieve shouldn't have any problem taking its Florida blueprint and applying it in other key markets. This gives it a good chance to go to the moon in the future.</p>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>It's Game Over for AMC, but These Stocks Can Still Go to the Moon</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nIt's Game Over for AMC, but These Stocks Can Still Go to the Moon\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-07-16 21:29 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/07/16/its-game-over-for-amc-these-stocks-can-go-to-moon/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>When 2021 comes to a close, it'll undoubtedly be remembered for the way retail investors made their presence known on Wall Street.

In February, it signed a multiyear agreement with the National Football League (NFL). Football is the most popular sport by a long shot in the U.S. The expectation is that we'll see NFL-themed games and competitions hitting the platform by no later than 2022.\nThough Skillz is likely to lose money through 2022 as it beefs up marketing, its insane growth potential and potentially lucrative margins can't be overlooked.\nTrulieve Cannabis\nA final stock that can go to the moon is U.S. marijuana stock Trulieve Cannabis (OTC:TCNNF). According to New Frontier Data, the U.S. pot industry could be generating north of $41 billion in annual sales by 2025.\nWhereas most U.S. multistate operators are angling to have a presence in as many legalized markets as possible, Trulieve has taken on a strategy that looked odd at first, but has paid off incredibly well. Of the 91 dispensaries it had open in early July, 85 of them were located in medical marijuana-legal Florida. By absolutely saturating the Sunshine State, Trulieve has effectively gobbled up around half of all dried cannabis flower and oils market share. At the same time, its marketing costs have been kept low, pushing the company to 13 consecutive quarters of profitability.\nBut make no mistake about it, Trulieve does have aspirations of moving beyond Florida. For instance, it recently announced the largest U.S. cannabis acquisition in history -- a $2.1 billion all-stock deal to acquire multistate operator Harvest Health & Recreation (OTC:HRVSF). Harvest has a focus on five states, one of which is Florida. This means Trulieve's presence in the Sunshine State will soon get even bigger.\nHowever, the real lure of this deal is the 15 dispensaries Harvest Health operates in its home market of Arizona, a state that legalized recreational weed in November. Trulieve shouldn't have any problem taking its Florida blueprint and applying it in other key markets. This gives it a good chance to go to the moon in the future.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":489,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":189155159,"gmtCreate":1623249074071,"gmtModify":1634035354712,"author":{"id":"3578782731604671","authorId":"3578782731604671","name":"Jonno123","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ee063ae4df931cd529ec094c1de1e242","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3578782731604671","idStr":"3578782731604671"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"HODLING&nbsp;[开心]&nbsp;[开心]&nbsp;","listText":"HODLING&nbsp;[开心]&nbsp;[开心]&nbsp;","text":"HODLING [开心] [开心]","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/189155159","repostId":"1188697627","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":623,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":133095892,"gmtCreate":1621665333216,"gmtModify":1634187255316,"author":{"id":"3578782731604671","authorId":"3578782731604671","name":"Jonno123","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ee063ae4df931cd529ec094c1de1e242","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3578782731604671","idStr":"3578782731604671"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Rebound!","listText":"Rebound!","text":"Rebound!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/133095892","repostId":"1111747453","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"1111747453","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1621609858,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1111747453?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-05-21 23:10","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Tesla’s New Plaid Model Is Ready.

I tookone stab at itwith AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc.(NYSE:AMC)a few weeks ago. I’m back for more, after reading two interesting pieces. As Isaac Newton said in 1676, “<i>If I have seen a little further it is by standing on the shoulders of Giants.</i>” Now I’m no Isaac Newton. For one, I’m far better looking. But like Zeke – a nickname Isaac’s friends probably never used – I too stand on the shoulders of giants. In this case the shoulders of Jason Zweig, a wonderful financial markets writer for<i>The Wall Street Journal</i>, and John Brooks, author of “<i>Business Adventures</i>”, a book recommended by Bill Gates. I will quote liberally from both in this article, then draw the line for you to AMC.</p>\n<p><b>Investor vs. trader vs. speculator</b></p>\n<p>Jason Zweig graphically distinguished between these three types of stock buyers in hisJune 11, 2021<i>Wall Street Journal</i>column:</p>\n<blockquote>\n “\n <i>Whenever you buy any financial asset because you have a hunch or just for kicks, or because somebody famous is hyping the heck out of it, or everybody else seems to be buying it too, you aren’t investing.You’re definitely a trader: someone who has just bought an asset. And you may be a speculator: someone who thinks other people will pay more for it than you did.”“An investor relies on internal sources of return: earnings, income, growth in the value of assets. A speculator counts on external sources of return: primarily whether somebody else will pay more, regardless of fundamental value.”</i>\n</blockquote>\n<p>So why has AMC’s stock price been on a tear? I have one informal data source, namely the 300+ comments on my June 4 AMC article. Earnings, income, growth in the value of assets<i>never</i>came up. What did come up was “short squeeze” and stock charts. So I expect Mr. Zweig would describe AMC’s stock as driven by traders and speculators.</p>\n<p>Mr. Zweig also made me realize that my AMC article left out an earnings forecast. I gave lots of data on historic trends, which only implied a future direction. I correct that omission here.</p>\n<p><b>A 2022 AMC earnings forecast</b></p>\n<p>I start with the key assumptions:</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3f5311cb0ff00c046d122c2c84fc3aea\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"168\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p><i>My time frame for reference</i>&nbsp;is 2017 to 2019. Earlier data is less relevant because AMC made a big acquisition in 2016, and 2020 and 2021 data is even less relevant because of COVID.</p>\n<p><i>The national box office</i>is the major assumption.My June 4 articleshows that movie attendance has been declining since 2002. What will box office be next year? The steady growth in streaming, both in subscribers and content, certainly is a headwind. And COVID logically should increase the shift from offsite (theater) entertainment to home entertainment, as it has for shopping and working. Holding movie attendance near its ’19 level would be a minor miracle. A 10%, or even a 20%, decline is far more likely. As you can see in the table above, I make 2022 AMC EPS forecasts using all three box office assumptions.</p>\n<p><b><i>AMC market share.</i></b>I assume a share increase from AMC’s ’17-’19 level because some competing theaters must have dropped out because of COVID financial pressures.</p>\n<p><b><i>Admissions gross margin.</i></b>This is the profit from ticket sales less the cost of licensing movies from their producers. I hold AMC steady with ’17-’19, but I can also imagine that movie producers seek better terms because AMC has to bid against a growing pool of streaming services desperate for content.</p>\n<p><b><i>Food expenses as a percent of sales.</i></b>I carry forward the shockingly low number. AMC, and presumably its peers, take their food and beverage costs and<i>multiply them by 7 in their pricing to us moviegoers.</i>Smuggle in your own Jujifruits and save a bundle. My best financial advice for the year.</p>\n<p><b><i>Food and beverage sales as a percent of ticket prices.</i></b>I assume that AMC’s trend of modest increases continues.</p>\n<p><b><i>Operating expenses</i></b>are the cost of the theater personnel, utilities, etc. I assume the gradual uptrend in the operating expense ratio continues, for two reasons. One, these operating expenses are largely fixed, and revenues will be under pressure. Second, it seems logical that the current labor shortage will pressure pay levels for low-end theater jobs.</p>\n<p>We’re now ready for my earnings and cash flow models:</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9b8a5ce8ad10adb3336126cdb0a5e598\" tg-width=\"537\" tg-height=\"497\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>The ’22 forecasts are set by the assumptions above through the “gross profit” line. My overhead expense forecast assumes that AMC is working hard to limit expenses through its challenging times:</p>\n<ul>\n <li><i>Depreciation/amortization</i>is a combination of accounting expenses for real estate and acquisitions. Write-downs taken during the pandemic should have reduced these expenses.</li>\n <li><i>Interest expense</i>should decline as AMC pays down some debt with the equity it has been raising.</li>\n</ul>\n<p><b>The gravitational pull of earnings</b></p>\n<p>We arrive at the bottom line. The best-case scenario I can see for 2022 EPS is roughly breakeven. More likely is a modest loss. Cash flow should be somewhat worse, because the cash capital spending needed by AMC to keep its theaters attractive to a shrinking audience should exceed its non-cash depreciation/amortization expenses. If capital spending is much lower than I forecast, it is probably because AMC management is conceding that it is in a death spiral and wants to milk what cash it can.</p>\n<p><i>The bottom line - no support for investors.</i>AMC’s book value is negative. It appears incapable of earning any material money post-COVID. Its business is in long-term decline due to technology changes, and its new competitors are monster companies – Netflix, Disney, Comcast, etc. – with huge resources. An investor can only look at AMC’s current $55 stock price and with a shudder say, in the immortal words of<i>Trading Places</i>, “Sell Mortimer, sell!”</p>\n<p><b>The speculative play - a short squeeze: A historical cautionary tale</b></p>\n<p>Millennials did not invent the short squeeze. It has been around almost as long financial markets have existed. The book<i>Business Adventures</i>by John Brooks<i>,</i>published way back in 1969, tells a vivid tale of a short squeeze even farther back, in the early 1920s. Literally a century ago. I’m going to quote from the book to suggest how the story ends for speculations with no investor support. So pour yourself some illegal hooch (we’re heading to the Prohibition Era) and read on. This is the story of Clarence Saunders, the founder of Piggly Wiggly Stores, the first supermarket; the Amazon of his day.</p>\n<p>Shorts went after Clarence’s stock in 1922, driving it from $50 to below $40. Saunders vowed revenge with a short squeeze. Here are excerpts of Mr. Brooks’ recounting of the story:</p>\n<blockquote>\n “\n <i>Saunders…bought 33,000 shares of Piggly Wiggly, mostly from short sellers; within a week he had brought the total to 105,000 – more than half of the 200,000 shares outstanding.

I tookone stab at itwith AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc.(NYSE:AMC)a few weeks ago. I’m back for more, after reading two interesting pieces. As Isaac Newton said in 1676, “If I have seen a little further it is by standing on the shoulders of Giants.” Now I’m no Isaac Newton. For one, I’m far better looking. But like Zeke – a nickname Isaac’s friends probably never used – I too stand on the shoulders of giants. In this case the shoulders of Jason Zweig, a wonderful financial markets writer forThe Wall Street Journal, and John Brooks, author of “Business Adventures”, a book recommended by Bill Gates. I will quote liberally from both in this article, then draw the line for you to AMC.\nInvestor vs. trader vs. speculator\nJason Zweig graphically distinguished between these three types of stock buyers in hisJune 11, 2021Wall Street Journalcolumn:\n\n “\n Whenever you buy any financial asset because you have a hunch or just for kicks, or because somebody famous is hyping the heck out of it, or everybody else seems to be buying it too, you aren’t investing.You’re definitely a trader: someone who has just bought an asset. And you may be a speculator: someone who thinks other people will pay more for it than you did.”“An investor relies on internal sources of return: earnings, income, growth in the value of assets. A speculator counts on external sources of return: primarily whether somebody else will pay more, regardless of fundamental value.”\n\nSo why has AMC’s stock price been on a tear? I have one informal data source, namely the 300+ comments on my June 4 AMC article. Earnings, income, growth in the value of assetsnevercame up. What did come up was “short squeeze” and stock charts. So I expect Mr. Zweig would describe AMC’s stock as driven by traders and speculators.\nMr. Zweig also made me realize that my AMC article left out an earnings forecast. I gave lots of data on historic trends, which only implied a future direction. I correct that omission here.\nA 2022 AMC earnings forecast\nI start with the key assumptions:\n\nMy time frame for reference is 2017 to 2019. Earlier data is less relevant because AMC made a big acquisition in 2016, and 2020 and 2021 data is even less relevant because of COVID.\nThe national box officeis the major assumption.My June 4 articleshows that movie attendance has been declining since 2002. What will box office be next year? The steady growth in streaming, both in subscribers and content, certainly is a headwind. And COVID logically should increase the shift from offsite (theater) entertainment to home entertainment, as it has for shopping and working. Holding movie attendance near its ’19 level would be a minor miracle. A 10%, or even a 20%, decline is far more likely. As you can see in the table above, I make 2022 AMC EPS forecasts using all three box office assumptions.\nAMC market share.I assume a share increase from AMC’s ’17-’19 level because some competing theaters must have dropped out because of COVID financial pressures.\nAdmissions gross margin.This is the profit from ticket sales less the cost of licensing movies from their producers. I hold AMC steady with ’17-’19, but I can also imagine that movie producers seek better terms because AMC has to bid against a growing pool of streaming services desperate for content.\nFood expenses as a percent of sales.I carry forward the shockingly low number. AMC, and presumably its peers, take their food and beverage costs andmultiply them by 7 in their pricing to us moviegoers.Smuggle in your own Jujifruits and save a bundle. My best financial advice for the year.\nFood and beverage sales as a percent of ticket prices.I assume that AMC’s trend of modest increases continues.\nOperating expensesare the cost of the theater personnel, utilities, etc. I assume the gradual uptrend in the operating expense ratio continues, for two reasons. One, these operating expenses are largely fixed, and revenues will be under pressure. Second, it seems logical that the current labor shortage will pressure pay levels for low-end theater jobs.\nWe’re now ready for my earnings and cash flow models:\n\nThe ’22 forecasts are set by the assumptions above through the “gross profit” line. My overhead expense forecast assumes that AMC is working hard to limit expenses through its challenging times:\n\nDepreciation/amortizationis a combination of accounting expenses for real estate and acquisitions. Write-downs taken during the pandemic should have reduced these expenses.\nInterest expenseshould decline as AMC pays down some debt with the equity it has been raising.\n\nThe gravitational pull of earnings\nWe arrive at the bottom line. The best-case scenario I can see for 2022 EPS is roughly breakeven. More likely is a modest loss. Cash flow should be somewhat worse, because the cash capital spending needed by AMC to keep its theaters attractive to a shrinking audience should exceed its non-cash depreciation/amortization expenses. If capital spending is much lower than I forecast, it is probably because AMC management is conceding that it is in a death spiral and wants to milk what cash it can.\nThe bottom line - no support for investors.AMC’s book value is negative. It appears incapable of earning any material money post-COVID. Its business is in long-term decline due to technology changes, and its new competitors are monster companies – Netflix, Disney, Comcast, etc. – with huge resources. An investor can only look at AMC’s current $55 stock price and with a shudder say, in the immortal words ofTrading Places, “Sell Mortimer, sell!”\nThe speculative play - a short squeeze: A historical cautionary tale\nMillennials did not invent the short squeeze. It has been around almost as long financial markets have existed. The bookBusiness Adventuresby John Brooks,published way back in 1969, tells a vivid tale of a short squeeze even farther back, in the early 1920s. Literally a century ago. I’m going to quote from the book to suggest how the story ends for speculations with no investor support. So pour yourself some illegal hooch (we’re heading to the Prohibition Era) and read on. This is the story of Clarence Saunders, the founder of Piggly Wiggly Stores, the first supermarket; the Amazon of his day.\nShorts went after Clarence’s stock in 1922, driving it from $50 to below $40. Saunders vowed revenge with a short squeeze. Here are excerpts of Mr. Brooks’ recounting of the story:\n\n “\n Saunders…bought 33,000 shares of Piggly Wiggly, mostly from short sellers; within a week he had brought the total to 105,000 – more than half of the 200,000 shares outstanding. The effectiveness of Saunders’ buying campaign was readily apparent; by late January of 1923 it had driven he price up over $60…”\n\nThe sole short squeezer of yore has been replaced by herds of “apes” today, and the apes have been far better in driving up prices. By the way, believe it or not, a group of apes is apparently called a “shrewdness”. A group of apes is shrewd – interesting.\n\n “\n He had made himself a bundle and had demonstrated how a poor Southern boy could teach the city slickers a lesson.”\n\nToday we have apes sticking it to hedge funds.\n\n “\n One of the great hazards in the Corner was always that even though a player might defeat his opponents, he would discover that he had won a Pyrrhic victory. Once the short sellers had been squeezed dry, the cornerer might find that the reams of stock he had accumulated in the process were a dead weight around his neck; by pushing it all back into the market, he would drive its price down to zero.”\n\nSomething to think about. What was Saunders to do?\n\n “[\n Saunders’] solution was to sell his $55 shares on the installment plan. In his February advertisements, he stipulated that the public could buy shares only by paying $25 down and the balance in three $10 installments.”\n\nPretty clever, no? No:\n\n “\n At the end of the third day, the total number of shares subscribed for was still under 25,000, and the sales that were made were canceled. Saunders had to admit that the drive had been a failure.”\n\nUh oh. What now?\n\n“On August 22nd, the New York auction firm of Adrian H. Muller & Son…knocked down 1,500 shares of Piggly Wiggly at $1 a share…The following spring Saunders went through formal bankruptcy proceedings.”\n\nOuch.\nBuyers beware\nAs Jason Zweig noted above, speculators depend upon finding a buyer at a higher price. Today’s holders of AMC stock certainly have made life painful for many short sellers. But are there really enough new buyers to take out current shareholders above AMC’s present $28 billion market cap? Especially with the gravity of no earnings constantly weighing on the stock?\nAMC shareholders, don’t win Clarence Saunders’ Pyrrhic victory. Take your $55 a share and run. Fast. Before the other speculating holders do so first.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":264,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":185740420,"gmtCreate":1623675518660,"gmtModify":1634030263577,"author":{"id":"3578782731604671","authorId":"3578782731604671","name":"Jonno123","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ee063ae4df931cd529ec094c1de1e242","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3578782731604671","idStr":"3578782731604671"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Probably FUD&nbsp;[冷漠]&nbsp;","listText":"Probably FUD&nbsp;[冷漠]&nbsp;","text":"Probably FUD [冷漠]","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/185740420","repostId":"2143782484","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2143782484","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1623671400,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2143782484?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-06-14 19:50","market":"us","language":"en","title":"'Meme stock' rally pauses, Redditors focus on biotech stocks","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2143782484","media":"StreetInsider","summary":"(Reuters) - Small-time stock traders turned their attention to the biotech and healthcare sectors on","content":"<p>(Reuters) - Small-time stock traders turned their attention to the biotech and healthcare sectors on Monday, lifting shares of some by as much as 10%, while the rally in stocks that were favored in recent weeks appeared to fade.</p>\n<p>Of the top 10 stocks trending on trading-focused social media site Stocktwits, vaccine developers Novavax Inc and Vaxart Inc were in the third and fourth spots, respectively, with message volume on Vaxart up 9.7% and nearly 97% of them reflecting a positive sentiment.</p>\n<p>Shares of Novavax jumped 10.3% in premarket trading as the company also reported late-stage data from a U.S.-based clinical trial showing its vaccine was more than 90% effective against COVID-19 across a variety of variants of the virus.</p>\n<p>Individual traders on forums such Reddit's WallStreetBets have acted in concert this year to bid up shares of heavily shorted stocks, triggering a phenomenon known as a \"short squeeze\", which pushes up stock prices even more.</p>\n<p>Video game retailer GameStop Corp and cinema operator AMC Entertainment, which were at the center of the so-called \"meme stock\" rally this year, have seen their share price soar more than 1,100% since the end of December.</p>\n<p>AMC shares were up 3.5% in early deals after jumping more than 300% in the past three weeks.

The more a stock becomes disjointed with the fundamental realities, the greater the struggle. Investors internally debate, rationalize and self-negotiate with the following unknown questions:</p>\n<ul>\n <li>Is a double, triple or a ten bagger enough?</li>\n <li>Should I take short term profits on all or some?</li>\n <li>Momentum seems strong, should I buy more at these levels in hopes to ride it higher?</li>\n <li>Should I just keep it on the table for the long term?</li>\n <li>Who will blink first?</li>\n</ul>\n<p>These psychological effects normally follow a scripted playbook that technical analysts can normally rely on. However, meme stocks are not normal by any stretch as witnessed by the extreme emotional back and forth battle between sellers and buyers. Sellers will be hanging on for dear life as they attempt to remain solvent as they wait out the inevitable selling frenzy. Buyers will attempt to hang on for as long as possible in hopes to inflict as much pain on the sellers as possible, also keeping an eye on solvency.</p>\n<p>Objectively and mathematically speaking, bulls will always have an inherent advantage. Downward losses in any equity is finite while upward gains in any given equity is infinite. It really does come down to supply and demand. Bears rely on poor management, a failing business model and most importantly the unwillingness of bulls to fund failure.</p>\n<p>AMC was given a great gift and they have capitalized through much needed dilution. Adam Aron and the AMC team must be extremely diligent not to go all paper-handed. The delicate balancing act on the head of the pin with respect to over diluting could most certainly trigger a selloff of epic proportions. The paper-hand temptations exist everywhere and the bears know it and rely on it. That is why the fundamentals do matter a lot and must be drastically and positively changed and in a hurry.</p>\n<p>Now that millions of apes have put a band aid on AMC, it is imperative for Aron to put forth a winning strategic business plan leading into any further dilution. Dilution for debt recovery alone won't do enough. Dilution for growth and earnings is the only viable solution.</p>\n<p><b>The final wish</b></p>\n<p>So we all know what Adam Aron’s first two wishes were. One to end the pandemic and the other to band aid liquidity issues, which both were granted. Now here we are waiting to see what the third wish will be. The third wish needs to be innovative, forward thinking, large scale and most importantly deliver explosive ever-increasing profitable growth. Adam Aron better be thinking in comparative scale of what Steve Jobs brought to the table for Apple when he re-took the helm in 1997.</p>\n<p>Of course, AMC can take the windfall for what it is to restructure debt while plodding along the same narrow path of falling revenues and increasing operating costs, which will certainly buy some time. However, debt reduction and restructuring should not be investors' primary concern. Investors must be looking for AMC to use the next capital raise for fundamental change that profitably taps into the enormous entertainment market.</p>\n<p>With these gifts that have magically appeared seemingly from thin air, AMC has this one opportunity to redefine itself. AMC can take a multitude of directions to put big smiles on the apes funding this defining moment.

The next moves by Adam Aron and AMC will certainly be a driving force in determining whether or not my hands are made of diamonds or of paper.
