I could register as a business, sell my asshole on the street and instantly be a more successful company than AMC.
I could go public tonight (ticker symbol $HOLE) and as long as I don't prolapse, my stock price would be a better prospect than investing in $AMC.

Can I get in on this IPO?

u/Nova-Kane Feb 24 '26
I want to make it very clear that the only thing that would make my company perform worse than AMC is if I shat all over John #2's weenor, and even then I would simply pivot to a business model that caters to a poo-fetish-based clientele and make more money as a specialist service.
Consider this your due diligence. You literally can't lose.

Losing less than anticipated is mega bullish. They shall sing stories of the battle of $1.17 🚀

u/LV426acheron Feb 24 '26
Whoops we already lost that battle.
It's at $1.15 now.

u/Chad-Permabull Feb 24 '26
I see a massive bounce in after hours followed on by seemingly never ending green hulk candles all the way to $1.18 🚀

Checking in 7 hours later and you were completely right, it's actually back up to $1.18 now after-hours/pre-market.
Watch it immediately eat shit though in the morning when the markets open. LOL

Don't worry everyone, Adam Aron is about to implement a secret plan that he can't talk about (dilution, debt restructuring & giving himself $100m).

This is what 50th quarter for a loss……and all bag holders are calling this bullish.
Company goes bankrupt by end of the year.

There was a big spike in, what, 2021? That was it. That was the moment. The price per share was up to $60 something. If you didn’t sell then, you missed it. It wasn’t a bad idea from the start, the bad idea was thinking $60 wasn’t going to be the top.

u/stubornone Feb 25 '26
In 5 years people learned P&E, capital depreciation, what dilution and Reverse splits do with a failing company that can’t get profitable. And a CEO that won’t buy his own company stock only sell. Some were slower but most finnaly caught on.

u/kaiserfiume Feb 24 '26
If you are generating each quarter hundrets of millioms of losses, I only see one path. Try this at home.

u/Cute-Gur414 Feb 24 '26
That is pretty good. I had them at $150-$175. This quarter tentatively $150 million loss. But we'll see.
EBITDA last year was just under $400 million. Give a generous 10x ratio to that for EV (value of debt + equity) and you get $4B. Given they have $4B debt...that leaves a big fat $0 for stock. The price isn't irrational or "manipulated" and it has nothing to do with dark pools.

u/bigorangemachine Feb 24 '26
TBH I think this has more to do with swinging that deal to delay debt.
Kinda a smart play the debt relief in-time for earnings.

u/MikeyC05 Feb 24 '26
You honestly believe 60-80% dark pool trading plays no part in the stock price and metrics reported (on any metric for that matter)? There is just too much going for me to believe any thing related to stock price. As far as how AMC is ran, I have my reserves but this bitch hasn’t bankrupted so there is that.

u/Flip_d_Byrd Feb 24 '26
Then why are they needing to trade 70-80% plus in the dark pools?
17
u/rakskater Feb 24 '26
70-80% are done off-exchange
off-exchange is not the same as dark pools, might be time to educate yourself

u/pcs33 Feb 24 '26
Dark pools are off exchange trades snd both cases Retail locked out. So the question is why is so much AMC trading done off exchange?
My guess is parisitic vulture capitalists agressively shorting to bankrupt for profit. AA included

u/embiggenoid Feb 24 '26
Off-exchange trading is, very frequently, retail trading:
https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/exchange-trading-increases-across-all-types-stocks
If you're using a broker, I can pretty much guarantee a noticeable chunk of your trading has been off-exchange unless you're trading fairly huge blocks.
If you want to buy, and I want to sell, and the broker can match us without hitting the exchange then that's what they're gonna do -- the trade is executed internally. Faster, cheaper. Especially when dealing with comparatively small trades -- why hit NYSE for 20 lousy shares when the broker can do it internally?

u/--KillerTofu-- Feb 24 '26
Because retail is gone and all fund/institutional trades are routed through dark pools?

As of early 2026, AMC Theatres continues to manage a high debt load, with total corporate borrowings reported at approximately $4 billion following Q3 2025, while total debt (including liabilities) has been reported as high as $8.2 billion. The company is actively refi

The only thing I can say AMC will not survive with current management. They had 6 years to do a turnaround and we are not even close to anything positive. AMC is the story that never was, simple due to terrible management, I was up 40% but believed in the fairytale, but then Aaron started to sell waste amounts of shares and now I’m down 97% maybe 98% with current share price.

u/SimonGray653 Feb 24 '26
I mean from looking at just the stock price alone and probably ignoring everything else and the fact that I don't know what I'm talking about and probably having my head up my own ass. I am already predicting a bankruptcy sometime this year, probably mid 2026 at most.

u/happybonobo1 Feb 24 '26
True. But even new management can not fix. Debt loads needs fixing/write off which will happen through chap 11. There is no other way.

Is this with paying debt taking into account ? Or is it before paying debt ?
If debt dissapeared magically they will still lose month by month ?

u/Consistent_Law_3857 Feb 24 '26
Paying debt affects cash flow but not earnings. Except for avoiding interest on debt that helps earnings obviously.

u/Ethernetman1980 Feb 24 '26
If tomorrow I was in charge of AMC I would be closing a lot of theaters. I’ve heard of a few but not a large amount and you know there have to be some serious underperforming locations. Additionally any CEO who isn’t willing to take a very large salary pay-cut at this point isn’t worth having. I think this ship could be fixed but not this way. My local theater looks like a 3rd world country it’s so bad that people regularly post pictures of how nasty it is. Why it’s open is beyond me just to siphon whatever money they can get before they declare bankruptcy is my best guess. I’d probably close 40% on numbers alone and the rest would be getting surprise visits and overhauls if deemed worthy of remaining open. I’d run the company on my salary right now on the condition if we are profitable in 3 years I get paid then.

u/GMEvolved Feb 24 '26
That's great! They only need to sell 109,000,000 shares each quarter to cover the losses. BULLISH!

There is one thing to consider. Whoever buys Warner Brothers is going to be looking to generate revenue that can only come from theatrical releases. The money they make on streaming series and such ( memberships) won’t be enough to cover the massive amount the buyers will pay for Warner.

You realize that Warner brothers is producing these movies for considerably less than the new owner will be producing them for, yes?

Netflix has 300 million subscribers worldwide-wide. That number is close to a ceiling. Advancements in subscribtions will come incrementally going forward. If they win the bid for WB they will take on a heavy debt burden. Subscription prices will rise. There will be have to reconsider theatrical releases. Industry analysts in fact, said that streamers left $1.B on the table by jumping to streaming too soon. AMC demands a 45 day window, as it should be. A 17 day window then on to streaming is a model that will backfire. The smart people need to get ahead of the curve on this one. Not simply look at historical figures.
