10:53 AM EDT, 08/12/2025 (MT Newswires) -- AMC Entertainment ( AMC ) is positioned for market share gains in 2025 and 2026 on the back of its premium screens in North America and expansion plans in the UK and EU, Wedbush Securities said in a Tuesday note.

The brokerage noted a more consistent release slate in the coming quarters, repayment or postponement of all debt due in 2026, and an expected final major share issuance in December as factors reducing near-term uncertainty.

The company reported "strong" Q2 results buoyed by improving box office and per-caps, according to the investment firm. AMC posted a Q2 breakeven, from a loss of $0.43 a year earlier, as revenue increased to $1.40 billion from $1.03 billion.

Wedbush said it expects the box office environment to stabilize in the next quarters and AMC to invest in its productive theaters to raise revenue per screen. The firm estimates AMC's EBITDA margin growth at 13% to 16% in the next two to five years.

"We remain positive on AMC as it is poised to benefit from a more consistent release slate over the next several quarters," according to the note.

Wedbush raised its price target on AMC Entertainment ( AMC ) to $4.50 from $4.00 and reiterated its outperform rating.

Shares of AMC Entertainment ( AMC ) were down more than 2% in recent trading.
