analyst puts out a bearish note on the multiplex operator, and it calls for an 86% plunge from here.","content":"<p>Most Wall Street pros are still skeptical of the recent rally in shares of <b>AMC Entertainment Holdings</b> (NYSE:AMC). Jason Bazinet at <b>Citi</b> (NYSE: C) put out an updated note on the country's largest multiplex operator on Tuesday, sticking to his sell rating and $2 price target.</p>\n<p>There's clearly a disconnect between analysts and AMC's buoyant stock chart. Bazinet at $2 seems low, but he's not even at the bottom of the range among notable market mavens. Eric Handler at MKM Partners put out a $1 price target last month, and Rich Greenfield at LightShed Partners turned heads last week with his call that the stock is heading to $0.01.</p>\n<p>The pessimism is thick, but reality is painting a different portrait. The stock has soared 74% over the past six trading days after several bullish developments, closing above $14 on Monday. The highest of the seven leading analyst firms with a price goal for the stock is currently at $7 for AMC Entertainment. In other words, even the most upbeat of Wall Street pros sees the stock shedding more than half its value in the near future.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1e02e19d87470e5036fa20402855d54e\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>Image source: Getty Images.</p>\n<h2>Traders and analysts are watching two different movies</h2>\n<p>A lot of different stories are screening at a multiplex at the same time, and we're seeing that here. Bulls think that pent-up demand will bring moviegoers back to the local theater, and they're backed by encouraging trends we're seeing in Asia and other markets that are further along on the COVID-19 recovery curve. Bazinet's updated note at Citi points out how AMC has enough liquidity on its hands to make it through the end of this year, but that's also part of the problem. Bazinet is updating his model after a rough fourth quarter and the impact that AMC's capital raising has had on stretching the stock's valuation.</p>\n<p>AMC commanded an enterprise value of $10.9 billion at the end of 2019. This was after a decent year at the box office with a lot of prolific blockbusters and no fears of a crushing pandemic on the horizon. We're at $17.4 billion in enterprise value as of Monday's close. There are even more question marks now after most media stocks are rallying on the strength of their digital direct-to-consumer movies. Theatrical distribution windows are being disrupted, and this should weigh on how popular movie theaters are at the other end of this pandemic.</p>\n<p>The bullish counter here is that AMC<i> is</i> in better shape than it was before the COVID-19 crisis. There will be a shake-out of weaker multiplex operators, and AMC will be able to gain market share by either scooping up bankrupted competition for pennies on the dollar or just letting the weaker peers falter.</p>\n<p>We're also seeing AMC getting back to full strength with the opening of California theaters this week following New York City's restart earlier this month. With vaccination rates improving exponentially, we could see capacity restrictions (and more importantly the reluctance of Hollywood studios to put out new tentpole releases) ease up heading into the peak summer season.</p>\n<p>AMC has become the ultimate battleground stock. Each side can afford to at least listen to what the other camp is saying. Bulls convinced that bearish analysts are just in the pockets of hedge funds with their bleak outlooks are missing the point.

Jason Bazinet at Citi (NYSE: C) put out an updated note on the country's largest multiplex operator on Tuesday, sticking to his sell rating and $2 price target.\nThere's clearly a disconnect between analysts and AMC's buoyant stock chart. Bazinet at $2 seems low, but he's not even at the bottom of the range among notable market mavens. Eric Handler at MKM Partners put out a $1 price target last month, and Rich Greenfield at LightShed Partners turned heads last week with his call that the stock is heading to $0.01.\nThe pessimism is thick, but reality is painting a different portrait. The stock has soared 74% over the past six trading days after several bullish developments, closing above $14 on Monday. The highest of the seven leading analyst firms with a price goal for the stock is currently at $7 for AMC Entertainment. In other words, even the most upbeat of Wall Street pros sees the stock shedding more than half its value in the near future.\n\nImage source: Getty Images.\nTraders and analysts are watching two different movies\nA lot of different stories are screening at a multiplex at the same time, and we're seeing that here. Bulls think that pent-up demand will bring moviegoers back to the local theater, and they're backed by encouraging trends we're seeing in Asia and other markets that are further along on the COVID-19 recovery curve. Bazinet's updated note at Citi points out how AMC has enough liquidity on its hands to make it through the end of this year, but that's also part of the problem. Bazinet is updating his model after a rough fourth quarter and the impact that AMC's capital raising has had on stretching the stock's valuation.\nAMC commanded an enterprise value of $10.9 billion at the end of 2019. This was after a decent year at the box office with a lot of prolific blockbusters and no fears of a crushing pandemic on the horizon. We're at $17.4 billion in enterprise value as of Monday's close. There are even more question marks now after most media stocks are rallying on the strength of their digital direct-to-consumer movies. Theatrical distribution windows are being disrupted, and this should weigh on how popular movie theaters are at the other end of this pandemic.\nThe bullish counter here is that AMC is in better shape than it was before the COVID-19 crisis. There will be a shake-out of weaker multiplex operators, and AMC will be able to gain market share by either scooping up bankrupted competition for pennies on the dollar or just letting the weaker peers falter.\nWe're also seeing AMC getting back to full strength with the opening of California theaters this week following New York City's restart earlier this month. With vaccination rates improving exponentially, we could see capacity restrictions (and more importantly the reluctance of Hollywood studios to put out new tentpole releases) ease up heading into the peak summer season.\nAMC has become the ultimate battleground stock. Each side can afford to at least listen to what the other camp is saying. Bulls convinced that bearish analysts are just in the pockets of hedge funds with their bleak outlooks are missing the point. Wall Street pros have more to gain with a healthy AMC, which would need these firms as underwriters to raise debt and equity to take advantage of the rival rubble. Bears convinced that AMC is going under are missing out on the scenario where the country's largest multiplex operator will gain market share.\nAMC has also made the most of the lull to beef up its tech for reserved seating and mobile ordering, as well as introducing screen rentals to give its business model new revenue streams. The bulls may want to heed the valuation concerns, but the bears can't dismiss the real fundamental improvements taking place at AMC.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":423,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":325430591,"gmtCreate":1615910784613,"gmtModify":1703494998036,"author":{"id":"3562136740489813","authorId":"3562136740489813","name":"bjornyeo","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/66241e8300a4f865af24e05ec824d9e3","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3562136740489813","authorIdStr":"3562136740489813"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AAPL\">$Apple(AAPL)$</a>go apple go!&nbsp;","listText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AAPL\">$Apple(AAPL)$</a>go apple go!&nbsp;","text":"$Apple(AAPL)$go apple go!","images":[{"img":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/607172c06e53376826e0ccebe30d657d","width":"1440","height":"2560"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/325430591","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":224,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":325497161,"gmtCreate":1615910725653,"gmtModify":1703494995771,"author":{"id":"3562136740489813","authorId":"3562136740489813","name":"bjornyeo","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/66241e8300a4f865af24e05ec824d9e3","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3562136740489813","authorIdStr":"3562136740489813"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Agreed!&nbsp;","listText":"Agreed!&nbsp;","text":"Agreed!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/325497161","repostId":"2119592094","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2119592094","pubTimestamp":1615907520,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2119592094?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-03-16 23:12","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Robinhooders: Don't Blow Your Stimulus Check on Sundial Growers, Buy This Red-Hot Cannabis ETF Instead","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2119592094","media":"Billy Duberstein","summary":"U.S. multi-state operators are better bets than their Canadian counterparts, but don't trade on major exchanges.

Of course, these stimulus checks are also going to many who are gainfully employed, and who will either save or invest them.</p>\n<p>Provided you've paid your bills and credit card debts, established an emergency fund, and are planning to invest part or all of your stimulus check, there are several reasons U.S. cannabis stocks may be attractive candidates for your investment dollars -- especially for younger investors who can afford to invest in higher-risk, higher-upside securities.</p>\n<p>For <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> thing, the U.S. cannabis market is huge and growing. According to preliminary tax revenue estimates from Leafly, legal U.S. cannabis sales grew 71% in 2020 to around $18.3 billion.</p>\n<p>But remember, these are just <i>legal</i> sales. Analysts at Cowen&nbsp;estimate the overall U.S. cannabis market is currently $61 billion when including illicit sales. As cannabis gains greater acceptance as an alternative to alcohol and opioids, Cowen estimates the market will grow to $100 billion by 2030 -- that's 25% higher than the initial $80 billion estimate Cowen made in 2019.</p>\n<p>So if cannabis is eventually decriminalized and then legalized in the U.S., this is a market that can achieve technology-like growth, <i>increasing five times</i> over the next decade. While I wouldn't expect legalization in the near term, regulatory rollbacks such as the SAFE banking act or the STATES Act, which would ease banking and tax restrictions, or even the MORE Act, which would decriminalize marijuana, could happen during this term.</p>\n<p>We can already see evidence of pot stock hypergrowth in the numbers of several U.S. multi-state operators. For instance, the largest U.S. cannabis operator, <b>Curaleaf Holdings</b> (OTC:CURLF), just reported its 2020 results. Revenue grew 184% in 2020, while gross margin on cannabis sales increased from 41% to 47%. Adjusted EBITDA surged a stunning 456% to $144.1 million, with EBITDA margin expanding from 10.3% to 22%.</p>\n<p>And that's just <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> example -- Curaleaf's U.S. peers also reported similarly stellar growth throughout 2020. With limited licenses available in many states, many of these first movers enjoy somewhat protected positions with limited competition, allowing them to protect their margins as well.</p>\n<p><b>U.S. MSO results are a stark contrast to Canadian growers like Sundial</b></p>\n<p>This is in stark contrast to Canada's pot companies, which are growing slower, operate in a market just a fraction of the size of the U.S., and have seen gross margin compression after the Canadian market became vastly oversupplied.</p>\n<p>Perhaps no one is feeling the pressure more than the smaller players like Sundial Growers. In its quarter ended in September 2020, Sundial actually saw its revenue <i>decrease</i> and gross margin go <i>negative</i>. Through the first nine months of 2020, Sundial racked up 175 million Canadian dollars in EBITDA losses.</p>\n<p>While Sundial is one of the worst-performing companies from an operational standpoint, even the best-performing Canadian companies such as <b>Canopy Growth</b> (NASDAQ:CGC) are reporting much lower growth than their U.S. counterparts. Last quarter, Canopy grew revenue just 23%, with an adjusted EBITDA loss of CA$68 million.</p>\n<p>Canopy and Curaleaf will actually generate similar levels of revenue this year, but Curaleaf is growing eight times the rate of Canopy. Even more incredible? Curaleaf is cheaper than Canopy in terms of market cap, at $10.9 billion versus Canopy at $12.9 billion.</p>\n<p>Clearly, there are a lot of investors who can only buy the Canadian stocks for their cannabis industry exposure; otherwise there wouldn't be this strange disparity.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b9cb5de21d079e5a39cc625b0b77b8f0\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>Image source: Getty Images.</p>\n<p><b>But now Robinhooders have a way to invest in U.S. pot stocks</b></p>\n<p>Fortunately, there's a new way for Robinhood investors to get exposure to U.S. cannabis stocks. The <b>AdvisorShares Pure U.S. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/THCX\">Cannabis ETF</a> </b>(NYSEMKT:MSOS), launched in September 2020, is an exchange-traded fund (ETF) that purely buys U.S. cannabis companies, with 81.9% of the fund dedicated to U.S. multi-state operators. In fact, Curaleaf is currently the fund's largest holding, at an 11.51% allocation. Only six months after launch, the fund has attracted over $1 billion in assets under management (AUM), and it's up 26.5% year to date, versus just 4.8% for the <b>S&amp;P 500</b>.</p>\n<p>The Pure U.S. Cannabis ETF trades on the NYSE Arca exchange, a specialized exchange for ETFs. While headquartered in Chicago, NYSE Arca is a subsidiary of the New York Stock Exchange. The good news is that Robinhood investors and other U.S. brokerages can invest in NYSE Arca securities, including MSOS, finally giving Robinhood investors the chance to gain exposure to U.S. pot stocks.</p>\n<p><b>Risks and fees regarding MSOS</b></p>\n<p>Of course, there are a few potential drawbacks to the Pure U.S. Cannabis ETF. First, it's actively managed, which means that you are counting on portfolio manager Dan Ahrens to make good active management decisions for you. However, based on its current holdings and allocation, I wouldn't worry too much. There are only so many large, high-quality U.S. MSOs, and the fund currently owns all of the best ones that I can see. Though I don't own Curaleaf, I do own <b>Trulieve Cannabis</b>&nbsp;(my brokerage allows OTC trading), the fund's second-largest holding, as well as several other holdings in the ETF.</p>\n<p>Second, there's a 0.60% management fee and a 0.74% expense fee for the ETF, so there is some extra cost associated with holding MSOS, as opposed to just buying these stocks outright. Still, that's a relatively modest fee compared with the superior value you're getting in U.S. pot stocks over Canadian pot stocks.</p>\n<p>Despite these concerns, the AdvisorShares Pure U.S. Cannabis ETF is an efficient way to get diversified exposure to the U.S. cannabis industry, which could be a fine destination for your $1,400 stimulus check, if you're looking to invest it. Regulations are likely to be rolled back either in part or in whole by the Biden administration, which would greatly benefit these stocks even further. And a record high 68% of Americans favor cannabis legalization. So if you're looking to invest in the cannabis space and your broker doesn't allow you to take part in individual U.S. names, you should definitely consider MSOS as a better alternative to Canada's inferior cannabis companies.</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>Robinhooders: Don't Blow Your Stimulus Check on Sundial Growers, Buy This Red-Hot Cannabis ETF Instead</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\">\nRobinhooders: Don't Blow Your Stimulus Check on Sundial Growers, Buy This Red-Hot Cannabis ETF Instead\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-03-16 23:12 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/03/16/robinhooders-dont-blow-your-stimulus-on-sundial-gr/><strong>Billy Duberstein</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>There are a lot of interesting investment opportunities today, but perhaps none more exciting than cannabis -- specifically, U.S-based cannabis companies.

Analysts at Cowen estimate the overall U.S. cannabis market is currently $61 billion when including illicit sales. As cannabis gains greater acceptance as an alternative to alcohol and opioids, Cowen estimates the market will grow to $100 billion by 2030 -- that's 25% higher than the initial $80 billion estimate Cowen made in 2019.\nSo if cannabis is eventually decriminalized and then legalized in the U.S., this is a market that can achieve technology-like growth, increasing five times over the next decade. While I wouldn't expect legalization in the near term, regulatory rollbacks such as the SAFE banking act or the STATES Act, which would ease banking and tax restrictions, or even the MORE Act, which would decriminalize marijuana, could happen during this term.\nWe can already see evidence of pot stock hypergrowth in the numbers of several U.S. multi-state operators. For instance, the largest U.S. cannabis operator, Curaleaf Holdings (OTC:CURLF), just reported its 2020 results. Revenue grew 184% in 2020, while gross margin on cannabis sales increased from 41% to 47%. Adjusted EBITDA surged a stunning 456% to $144.1 million, with EBITDA margin expanding from 10.3% to 22%.\nAnd that's just one example -- Curaleaf's U.S. peers also reported similarly stellar growth throughout 2020. With limited licenses available in many states, many of these first movers enjoy somewhat protected positions with limited competition, allowing them to protect their margins as well.\nU.S. MSO results are a stark contrast to Canadian growers like Sundial\nThis is in stark contrast to Canada's pot companies, which are growing slower, operate in a market just a fraction of the size of the U.S., and have seen gross margin compression after the Canadian market became vastly oversupplied.\nPerhaps no one is feeling the pressure more than the smaller players like Sundial Growers. In its quarter ended in September 2020, Sundial actually saw its revenue decrease and gross margin go negative. Through the first nine months of 2020, Sundial racked up 175 million Canadian dollars in EBITDA losses.\nWhile Sundial is one of the worst-performing companies from an operational standpoint, even the best-performing Canadian companies such as Canopy Growth (NASDAQ:CGC) are reporting much lower growth than their U.S. counterparts. Last quarter, Canopy grew revenue just 23%, with an adjusted EBITDA loss of CA$68 million.\nCanopy and Curaleaf will actually generate similar levels of revenue this year, but Curaleaf is growing eight times the rate of Canopy. Even more incredible? Curaleaf is cheaper than Canopy in terms of market cap, at $10.9 billion versus Canopy at $12.9 billion.\nClearly, there are a lot of investors who can only buy the Canadian stocks for their cannabis industry exposure; otherwise there wouldn't be this strange disparity.\n\nImage source: Getty Images.\nBut now Robinhooders have a way to invest in U.S. pot stocks\nFortunately, there's a new way for Robinhood investors to get exposure to U.S. cannabis stocks. The AdvisorShares Pure U.S. Cannabis ETF (NYSEMKT:MSOS), launched in September 2020, is an exchange-traded fund (ETF) that purely buys U.S. cannabis companies, with 81.9% of the fund dedicated to U.S. multi-state operators. In fact, Curaleaf is currently the fund's largest holding, at an 11.51% allocation. Only six months after launch, the fund has attracted over $1 billion in assets under management (AUM), and it's up 26.5% year to date, versus just 4.8% for the S&P 500.\nThe Pure U.S. Cannabis ETF trades on the NYSE Arca exchange, a specialized exchange for ETFs. While headquartered in Chicago, NYSE Arca is a subsidiary of the New York Stock Exchange. The good news is that Robinhood investors and other U.S. brokerages can invest in NYSE Arca securities, including MSOS, finally giving Robinhood investors the chance to gain exposure to U.S. pot stocks.\nRisks and fees regarding MSOS\nOf course, there are a few potential drawbacks to the Pure U.S. Cannabis ETF. First, it's actively managed, which means that you are counting on portfolio manager Dan Ahrens to make good active management decisions for you. However, based on its current holdings and allocation, I wouldn't worry too much. There are only so many large, high-quality U.S. MSOs, and the fund currently owns all of the best ones that I can see. Though I don't own Curaleaf, I do own Trulieve Cannabis (my brokerage allows OTC trading), the fund's second-largest holding, as well as several other holdings in the ETF.\nSecond, there's a 0.60% management fee and a 0.74% expense fee for the ETF, so there is some extra cost associated with holding MSOS, as opposed to just buying these stocks outright. Still, that's a relatively modest fee compared with the superior value you're getting in U.S. pot stocks over Canadian pot stocks.\nDespite these concerns, the AdvisorShares Pure U.S. Cannabis ETF is an efficient way to get diversified exposure to the U.S. cannabis industry, which could be a fine destination for your $1,400 stimulus check, if you're looking to invest it. Regulations are likely to be rolled back either in part or in whole by the Biden administration, which would greatly benefit these stocks even further. And a record high 68% of Americans favor cannabis legalization. So if you're looking to invest in the cannabis space and your broker doesn't allow you to take part in individual U.S. names, you should definitely consider MSOS as a better alternative to Canada's inferior cannabis companies.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":386,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"defaultTab":"posts","isTTM":false}
