  • 2020 revenues down by 77% from 2019

  • $2.15 billion goodwill impairment in 2020

  • Wanda, which used to own 23% of company with 47% of voting powers converted their Class B shares into Class A shares, giving them only 9% ownership with 9% voting rights

  • This share conversion along with other share issuance by the company lead to a 380% share dilution in the TTM

  • 21% of shares outstanding are short and company targetted by WSB speculators


Catalysts:

  • Recovery from pandemic and recession

  • Targeted by speculators forcing a short squeeze to happen


Risks:

  • Speculative and very volatile stock

  • May never go back to pre-pandemic numbers

  • Growth of streaming platforms

  • High debt with negative tangible book value for years


Financial Analysis:

  • Revenues of $1.24 Billion in FY20 down from $5.47 Billion in FY19

Valuations:

  • My personal Biases:

    • I made over 3300% on average on the GameStop Short Squeeze and AMC has nothing of the same fundamentals that GameStop had

  • Assumptions for base case:

    • 40% of 2019 revenues in 2021

    • 70% of 2019 revenues in 2022

    • Revenue growth of 10% annually till 2025

    • Positive FCF in 2023, 5% margin

    • Terminal Growth rate of 0%

    • Discount Rate of 18%

AMC Stock Analysis
  • Exit multiple analysis not necessary to see that stock is expensive

Conclusion

  • Stocks massively overvalued

  • Short Squeeze already happening with no catalyst to invest at such a price
