The uproar of the retail market that sent the stock thousands of percent higher showed that the times are changing. Institutions cannot discount the retail market strength or ability to execute coordinated pressure.\nHowever, it is hard to get on the positive side of this business regardless of whether we observe the internal or external environment.\nThe company remains heavily indebted, with over US$11b in long-term liabilities. With the cash and its equivalents currently at US$1.6b, an improved cash burn from Q2 to Q3 is a rare positive, as it means that there is no need for new debt or dilution in the near future.\nYet, even with 100% theaters open, the revenue is 50% compared to Q3 19, and 2 years ago – even with double the attendance, the company still posted -US$0.53 earnings per share.\nFurthermore, the external environment is clearly negative. The market shifted to entertainment at demand – with competitors like Disney, Netflix, ViacomCBS, or Discovery engaged in trench warfare for every subscriber.\nThe Insiders Aren't Believers\nIf we look at the data, insiders exclusively sold shares of AMC in recent months. Just days ago, CEO Adam Aron sold additional 312,500 shares, leaving him with less than 100,000 shares in direct beneficial ownership. Additionally, CFO Sean Goodman sold all of his remaining stake, 18,316 shares, leaving him with no direct ownership of the company.\nWhile both executives have more equity grants down the road, as structured in their compensation packages, these decisions provide little support for the company's current valuation.\nAfter the CEO, Mr.Aron, who just sold US$9.65m in shares, the biggest single sale by an insider was when the Senior VP & Chief Human Resources Officer, Carla Chavarria, sold US$2.5m worth of shares at US$62.67 per share.\nIn the last year, insiders in AMC Entertainment Holdings didn't buy any shares. If you want to know exactly who sold, for how much, and when, click on the graph below.\n\n\n\nNYSE: AMC Insider Trading Volume December 13th, 2021\n \n\nYou can check out this free list of growing companies with considerable, recent, insider buying.\nInsider Ownership\nUsually, the higher the insider ownership, the more likely it is that insiders will be incentivized to build the company for the long term. AMC Entertainment Holdings insiders own about US$24m worth of shares. That equates to just 0.2% of the company.\nConclusion\nOver the last 6 months, AMC shares lost around 50% of value, not in an aggressive sell-off but an orderly move downwards, with lower highs and lower lows.\nWhile the price can stay disconnected from the fundamentals for a prolonged time, it cannot do it forever. Gentrifying the company by raising its value without improving the conditions in which it operates eventually becomes a game of chicken - until something (possibly even the external event) forces the reversion. Arguably, nobody should know more about the business other than CEO and CFO, and their persistent stock sale is telling us that they're not confident about the current valuation.\nIn addition to knowing about insider transactions going on, it's beneficial to identify the risks facing AMC Entertainment Holdings. Our analysis shows 5 warning signs for AMC Entertainment Holdings (2 are significant!) and we strongly recommend you look at them before investing.\nOf course, you might find a fantastic investment by looking elsewhere. So take a peek at this free list of interesting companies.\nFor the purposes of this article, insiders are those individuals who report their transactions to the relevant regulatory body.

The market shifted to entertainment at demand – with competitors like Disney, Netflix, ViacomCBS, or Discovery engaged in trench warfare for every subscriber.\nThe Insiders Aren't Believers\nIf we look at the data, insiders exclusively sold shares of AMC in recent months. Just days ago, CEO Adam Aron sold additional 312,500 shares, leaving him with less than 100,000 shares in direct beneficial ownership. Additionally, CFO Sean Goodman sold all of his remaining stake, 18,316 shares, leaving him with no direct ownership of the company.\nWhile both executives have more equity grants down the road, as structured in their compensation packages, these decisions provide little support for the company's current valuation.\nAfter the CEO, Mr.Aron, who just sold US$9.65m in shares, the biggest single sale by an insider was when the Senior VP & Chief Human Resources Officer, Carla Chavarria, sold US$2.5m worth of shares at US$62.67 per share.\nIn the last year, insiders in AMC Entertainment Holdings didn't buy any shares.

AMC Entertainment Holdings insiders own about US$24m worth of shares. That equates to just 0.2% of the company.\nConclusion\nOver the last 6 months, AMC shares lost around 50% of value, not in an aggressive sell-off but an orderly move downwards, with lower highs and lower lows.\nWhile the price can stay disconnected from the fundamentals for a prolonged time, it cannot do it forever. Gentrifying the company by raising its value without improving the conditions in which it operates eventually becomes a game of chicken - until something (possibly even the external event) forces the reversion. Arguably, nobody should know more about the business other than CEO and CFO, and their persistent stock sale is telling us that they're not confident about the current valuation.\nIn addition to knowing about insider transactions going on, it's beneficial to identify the risks facing AMC Entertainment Holdings.
