GameStop, AMC, Robinhood, PayPal, Tesla: Why These 5 Stocks Are On Investors' Radars Today

Jay Clayton, the former chair of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), has voiced his apprehension regarding the recent surge in GameStop Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GME#NYSE">GME</a>) and AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMC#NYSE">AMC</a>) stock prices.
What Happened: Clayton, in an interview with CNBC on Friday, expressed his concerns about the recent surge in the stock prices of GameStop and AMC. The former SEC chair suggested that the recent stock surge is more akin to gambling than trading or investing.
&#8220;It bothers me. It bothers me on many levels&#8230;It is a lot closer to gambling than it is to trading and certainly not investing,&#8221; Clayton said in the interview.
He also questioned the validity of social media posts, particularly tweets, as investment advice. 
&#8220;Is a tweet really investment advice? I think we&#8217;ve learned the last five, six, seven years that a tweet is really never investment advice,&#8221; he added.

Why It Matters: The recent surge in GameStop and AMC stock prices has sparked a debate within the financial community. The surge, which saw <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/38814104/gamestop-up-triple-digits-premarket-is-2021-meme-stock-rally-back">GameStop&#8217;s stock price soaring by 147%</a> and AMC&#8217;s by 121% in pre-market trading on Tuesday, has been attributed to a resurgence of the meme stock phenomenon that first gained attention in early 2021.
Financial analysts have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/38814104/gamestop-up-triple-digits-premarket-is-2021-meme-stock-rally-back">viewed this resurgence as a speculative wave</a> driven by retail investors coordinating through online platforms, highlighting the unpredictability and potential risk factors associated with such stocks.
Meanwhile, a financial expert has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/05/38809033/is-gamestop-surge-after-roaring-kitty-a-fomo-expert-warns-retail-investors-need-to-">warned investors about the potential risks</a> associated with meme stocks, particularly GameStop. He advised investors to be cautious and understand the motivations behind such investments.
On the other hand, CNBC&#8217;s Mad Money host, Jim Cramer, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/05/38815078/jim-cramer-bets-cash-strapped-amc-gamestop-may-issue-shares-to-capitalize-on-new-me">believes that the new meme stock rally </a>is unlikely to slow down, with both GameStop and AMC poised for another strong session. Cramer suggested that both companies could use the stock surge to raise capital through public offerings.
Price Action: GME was trading 79% higher at $54.44, while AMC was up 96.75% at $10.29 at the time of writing, according to data from <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro.</a>

Netflix, AMC, United Airlines, WiSA Technologies, Tesla: Why These 5 Stocks Are On Investors' Radars Today

In a recent episode of CNBC&#8217;s &#8220;Mad Money,&#8221; host Jim Cramer discouraged viewers from investing in AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMC#NYSE">AMC</a>) stock, citing the company&#8217;s recent performance. Instead, he recommended two other stocks.
What Happened: Cramer, in his &#8220;Lightning Round&#8221; segment, expressed his reservations about AMC&#8217;s stock on Monday, as <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/01/29/cramers-lightning-round-we-dont-want-amc.html">reported</a> by CNBC on Monday. He suggested that the company&#8217;s stock isn&#8217;t performing well, attributing this to a decline in moviegoers.
"We don't want AMC. AMC's not doing well. We want stocks that go higher…The consumer's not going to the movies like they used to."
He advised viewers to consider investing in Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NOC#NYSE">NOC</a>) and John Bean Technologies Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JBT#NYSE">JBT</a>) instead. Cramer, who had previously been hesitant about Northrop Grumman, said he was now ready to &#8220;pull the trigger&#8221; at the current price of $438.

He also expressed his fondness for John Bean Technologies, a company in the global industrial food sector, calling it &#8220;a little quirky, but good.&#8221;
Why It Matters: AMC has been a subject of intense market speculation and short interest. AMC&#8217;s short percent of float <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/insights/short-sellers/24/01/36806137/peering-into-amc-enter-hldgss-recent-short-interest">increased by 3.51% in a recent report</a>. The company has 24.10 million shares sold short, which is 9.74% of all regular shares available for trading. This indicates a bearish market sentiment towards the stock.
Despite a 45.2% year-over-year increase in third-quarter revenue, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/23/11/35708050/what-will-be-amcs-innovative-recovery-path-post-pandemic-this-analyst-wants-to-wait">AMC&#8217;s recovery post-pandemic</a> has been a subject of debate. In November, Benchmark analyst Mike Hickey reiterated a Hold rating on the stock, suggesting a wait-and-see approach to its innovative recovery path.

Dollar General, Boeing, JD.Com, AMC, Tesla — Why These 5 Stocks Are Trending Today?

The Hollywood strike, which has lasted for months, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/09/34785041/breakthrough-in-hollywood-writers-and-producers-close-to-ending-100-day-strike" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">is nearing its end</a>, and it&#8217;s the right time to reflect on the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/23/05/32175899/is-your-favorite-show-affected-by-the-writers-strike-3-hit-series-go-on-halt-and-only-one-t" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">shows that faced disruption</a> during this period.
What Happened:&nbsp;Negotiations between the major film and television studios and the&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/23/05/32125907/writers-strike-looms-over-hollywood-average-residual-checks-can-barely-cover-an-in-n-out-bu" rel="noreferrer noopener">striking writers from</a>&nbsp;the&nbsp;Writers Guild of America&nbsp;or&nbsp;WGA&nbsp;have yielded a tentative agreement, marking a significant turning point in the labor dispute.
In an email to members, the WGA expressed their gratitude, saying, &#8220;What we have won in this contract – most particularly, everything we have gained since May 2nd – is due to the willingness of this membership to exercise its power, to demonstrate its solidarity, to walk side-by-side, to endure the pain and uncertainty of the past 146 days,&#8221;&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://edition.cnn.com/2023/09/24/business/wga-strike-ends-reaches-deal/index.html" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported</a>&nbsp;CNN.&nbsp;
While the agreement terms are not immediately known, the WGA hailed the tentative deal as exceptional, promising meaningful gains and protections for writers across all membership sectors.

The strike&#8217;s effects rippled beyond the realm of writers. The actors&#8217; union,&nbsp;SAG-AFTRA, representing approximately 160,000 actors, has been on strike since mid-July in solidarity with the writers.&nbsp;
Both strikes have cascaded<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/23/05/32431660/hollywood-writers-strike-hits-hbos-the-last-of-us-season-2" rel="noreferrer noopener">&nbsp;the entertainment industry</a>, leading to production delays, financial losses, and layoffs in various sectors.
One crucial issue that emerged during the negotiations was the role of artificial intelligence in content creation. Writers expressed&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/07/33358596/aoc-joins-picket-lines-with-striking-actors-writers-says-this-is-a-fight-against-ai-and-wall-street" rel="noreferrer noopener">concerns about the rise of AI</a>&nbsp;and its potential to replace human writers in the industry.&nbsp;
While the tentative agreement is a significant step forward, it does not immediately end the strike. The WGA is clear that members should not return to work until authorized by the Guild.&nbsp;
However, the report noted that the WGA has suspended picketing activities, suggesting a shift in the tone of the ongoing dispute.&nbsp;
A Look Back At The Shows That Have Been Affected By This Strike
Late-Night Shows: ABC&#8217;s&nbsp;&#8220;Jimmy Kimmel Live,&#8221;&nbsp;CBS&#8217;s&nbsp;&#8220;The Late Show,&#8221;&nbsp;NBC&#8217;s&nbsp;&#8220;Tonight&#8221; and &#8220;Late Night,&#8221; and&nbsp;HBO&#8217;s&nbsp;&#8220;Real Time with Bill Maher&#8221; and &#8220;Last Week Tonight with John Oliver&#8221; all went on hiatus, with reruns replacing live broadcasts.&nbsp;

GameStop, Apple, Pfizer, Tesla, AMC: Why These 5 Stocks Are Trending Today

The concert film of&nbsp;Taylor Swift&#8216;s successful &#8216;Eras Tour&#8217; is set to hit theaters next month, despite ongoing Hollywood strikes, reported <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/taylor-swift-eras-tour-movie-hollywood-strike-1235404250/">Billboard</a>.
Swift&#8217;s concert film, shot over three nights at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, will be released in every AMC Theatre (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMC#NYSE">AMC</a>) in the U.S., Mexico and Canada on Oct. 13.
Questions arose on how the film was able to be produced during&nbsp;the ongoing Hollywood strike by&nbsp;actors and writers, which has largely halted production on most U.S. film, TV, and streaming projects. However, the film obtained clearance under an interim agreement struck by SAG-AFTRA, covering&nbsp;non-AMPTP (Alliance of Motion Picture&nbsp;and Television Producers) productions that&nbsp;meet the same standards the&nbsp;unions are seeking in their&nbsp;negotiations with the studios.

The interim agreement covers various terms&nbsp;from scheduled breaks to payment&nbsp;for fittings, wardrobe&nbsp;allowances, meals and more.
Every&nbsp;U.S. AMC Theatre location will&nbsp;run the 2 hours 45 minutes long &#8216;Eras&#8217; film at&nbsp;least four times per day&nbsp;on Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Tickets are priced at $19.89 plus tax for adults&nbsp;and $13.13 for children and seniors&nbsp;plus tax.

Affirm Holdings, Hawaiian Electric, AMC, Ulta Beauty, Tesla: Why These Five Stocks Are Drawing Investors' Attention Today

Entertainment stocks were down on Tuesday&nbsp;after the Writers Guild of America (WGA) labor union endorsed a strike on the eve of May 2, disrupting the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/23/05/32125907/writers-strike-looms-over-hollywood-average-residual-checks-can-barely-cover-an-in-n-out-bu" target="_blank">movie production industry</a>.&nbsp;
Shares of&nbsp;Netflix Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/nflx#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) fell 1.5% on the day, but other movie studio stocks experienced even greater declines. 
Walt Disney Co.&nbsp;(NYSE:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/dis#NYSE">DIS</a>) eased 1.9%,&nbsp;Warner Bros. Discovery&nbsp;(NASDAQ:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/wbd#NASDAQ">WBD</a>) was 2% down and&nbsp;Paramount Global&nbsp;(NASDAQ:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/para#NASDAQ">PARA</a>)&nbsp;fell 2.4%.&nbsp;AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc&nbsp;(NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/amc#NYSE">AMC</a>) was the underperformer, tumbling&nbsp;3.5%.&nbsp;

The decision was made by the WGA after six weeks of fruitless negotiations with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, which includes Netflix, Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/amzn#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), Apple Inc&nbsp;(NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/aapl#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), Disney, Warner Bros. Discovery, Comcast Corporation&nbsp;(NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/cmcsa#NASDAQ">CMCSA</a>) NBCUniversal, Paramount&nbsp;and Sony Group Corp. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/sony#NYSE">SONY</a>).
About 11,500 TV and film writers are now demanding higher pay and more secure employment, arguing that the shift to streaming in Hollywood has created an unstable, gig-like economy that has disrupted the sector.
Studios say they&#39;re cutting costs because decades-old network and cable TV business models are no longer viable as more consumers migrate to streaming.
On Monday, the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP)&nbsp;announced &quot;generous increases in compensation for writers as well as improvements in streaming residuals.&quot;
While the&nbsp;impacts of the strike will first be seen on talk shows, the effects on scripted programs and movies may take a while to be felt, but if the strike lasts long enough, future releases may be delayed.
The previous writers&#39; strike,&nbsp;lasted three months, from November 2007&nbsp;to February 2008.&nbsp;
During this period, studio stock prices declined significantly, with Walt Disney down 5%, Paramount down 10%, Comcast down 14%, and Warner Bros. down 16.6%.

5 Stocks To Keep An Eye On As WGA Strike Could Bring Hollywood To A Halt: Why History Suggests Selling Movie Stocks During Strikes

Detroit startup TiiCKER Inc. announced a new partnership with Hollywood studio Lions Gate Entertainment Corp (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/lgf-a#NYSE">LGF-A</a>) (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/lgf-b#NYSE">LGF-B</a>).
The goal is to attract the same group of young Reddit traders that supported AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/amc#NYSE">AMC</a>) when it was on the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/22/08/28535631/why-meme-stocks-amc-entertainment-and-gamestop-are-still-in-danger-of-declining-to-">brink of bankruptcy.</a>
What Happened? <a href="https://investors.lionsgate.com/news-and-events/press-releases/2022/11-14-2022-141539527">Lions Gate recently announced</a> it is partnering with TiiCKER to launch its Shareholder Red Carpet Rewards program, which is focused on small investors. Lions Gate investors wil have access to collectible certificates branded with classic films such as &quot;Dirty Dancing&quot; and &quot;Reservoir Dogs.&quot;

In addition to the collectibles, investors will receive perks such as a 50% discount to Lions Gate&#39;s Starz streaming service and a chance to win tickets to Lions Gates movie premiers.
Why It&#39;s Important: TiiCKER launched in 2020 and specializes in direct-to-shareholder marketing. The company helps public companies reward individual investors by providing discounts, deals and gifts to shareholders and incentivizing customers to become investors.
&quot;We&#39;re thrilled to debut our first partnership with a world-class Hollywood film &amp; television studio and their tens of millions of subscribers and fans in utilizing the TiiCKER platform to build shareholder loyalty and engagement,&quot; TiiCKER founder and CEO Jeff Lambert said in a statement.

Investors can view a full list of the Shareholder Red Carpet Rewards program at TiiCKER.com/LGF or in the TiiCKER app, and Lions Gate shareholders can redeem their rewards by creating an account connected to their brokerage account and verifying their stock ownership.
Benzinga&#39;s Take: Lions Gate appears to be looking for some of the market magic AMC was able to tap into by appealing to small retail investors&#39; passion and nostalgia for classic movies. Reddit traders send AMC shares from under $2 to as high as $72.62 in 2021, allowing the company to raise much-needed cash by dumping hundreds of millions of shares into the market. AMC stock is now trading back down at around $7.50.

AMC CEO<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/21/06/21396062/5-things-you-might-not-know-about-amc-ceo-adam-aron"> Adam Aron</a>, who is pretty transparent with investors, has also not mentioned the token on his Twitter or follow the official account of The AMC Token.
Instead, developers of the coin say it is&nbsp;&ldquo;inspired by GME and AMC movement,&rdquo; and using the name of the movie theater chain.
The<a href="https://twitter.com/theamctoken"> AMC Token</a> is offering a fair launch, with price discovery set by demand and supply. The token will have no pre-sale or whitelist before the fair launch is completed.
The token is also called The Apes Movement Community Token in the press release that went out across several major financial media sites as a Globe Newswire release.
&ldquo;TAMC is proud to be the first token created to generate wealth for the holders by the social/meme coin status and expose the malpractices done in the financial systems nowadays for the benefit of a few,&rdquo; the release reads.
TAMC will have a max supply of 513,960,784 tokens.

Why It&rsquo;s Important: AMC Entertainment was one of the most popular stocks of 2021 and attracted a wide base of followers and community members who often referred to themselves as apes.
The AMC Token is attempting to capitalize on the community by misleading that it is associated with the movie theater giant.
The coin makes promises of going to the moon and has<a href="https://coincodex.com/article/14050/the-amc-token-the-apes-movement-community-token-the-next-1000x-gem/">&nbsp;sponsored posts</a> on other websites promising&nbsp;10x, 100x and 1000x returns from the coin.
The official Twitter <a href="https://twitter.com/theamctoken/status/1514095695824924679">account </a>of The AMC Token dates back to November 2021 and previously shared and retweeted on other tokens before switching gears to The AMC Token posts in February 2022.&nbsp;
Many tokens and coins have tried to piggyback off of other&#39;s success by launching tokens that often end up being rugpulls where the founders of the token make the money and the rug is pulled out on the new owners. Some tokens allow users to buy and then never to sell their coins.
Over the last year, the cryptocurrency market has seen a Squid Game coin <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/21/11/23879776/squid-game-crypto-price-shoots-up-1000-even-as-binance-investigates-rug-pull">based </a>on the popular Netflix Inc (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/nflx#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) series and a Will Smith slap <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/22/03/26338517/will-smith-slap-inspires-new-token-and-it-rallied-10-000-after-oscars-assault">inspired </a>coin Will Smith Inu. These tokens often shoot up in value only to fall back down.
Another token called Accept Crypto, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/22/03/26365071/dogecoin-influencer-matt-wallaces-exit-scam-costs-investors-600k-ethereum">launched </a>by Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>) influencer Matt Wallace, attempted to capitalize on the strong Dogecoin community and the rallying cry for retailers to accept Dogecoin as payment. The token shot up in value only to come crashing down.
Investors should be cautious about getting into new tokens that do not have a proven track record, and risk only what they are willing to lose.
Benzinga reached out to AMC for comment on the token.

The AMC Token Launches On April 30, But Does It Have Anything To Do With The Company?

The wild tale of a high school chemistry teacher that becomes a meth manufacturer captured audiences and led to strong ratings for AMC Networks Inc (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/amcx#NASDAQ">AMCX</a>).
A prequel series to &ldquo;Breaking Bad&rdquo; has struggled in recent seasons:&nbsp;Could the return of the two stars from &ldquo;Breaking Bad&rdquo; provide a boost in the final season?
What Happened: Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul who portrayed Walter White and Jesse Pinkman, respectively, in &ldquo;Breaking Bad&rdquo; are <a href="https://variety.com/2022/tv/news/bryan-cranston-aaron-paul-better-call-saul-1235229217/">set to return </a>with appearances in the final and sixth season of &ldquo;Better Call Saul.&rdquo;
The prequel show stars Bob Odenkirk as a lawyer who eventually represents White.
&ldquo;I personally feel that the two shows &mdash;&nbsp;&lsquo;Breaking Bad&rsquo; and &lsquo;Better Call Saul&rsquo; &mdash;&nbsp;are entwined even more than ever in the final season. And it&rsquo;s gonna make you want to watch &lsquo;Breaking Bad&rsquo; again,&rdquo; Odenkirk&nbsp;told Variety.
&ldquo;Better Call Saul&rdquo; co-creator Peter Gould confirmed officially that Cranston and Paul will be featured in the final season.
&ldquo;I don&rsquo;t want to spoil things for the audience, but I will say the first question we had when we started the show was, &lsquo;Are we gonna see Walt and Jesse on the show?&rsquo; Instead of evading, I&rsquo;ll just say yeah,&rdquo; Gould told an audience at a Variety event.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">They&#39;re coming back. <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/BetterCallSaul?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#BetterCallSaul</a> <a href="https://t.co/IXDq6KarcN">pic.twitter.com/IXDq6KarcN</a>
&mdash; Better Call Saul (@BetterCallSaul) <a href="https://twitter.com/BetterCallSaul/status/1513004792049815552?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 10, 2022</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>&nbsp;
The sixth season of &ldquo;Better Call Saul&rdquo; <a href="https://deadline.com/2022/04/bryan-cranston-aaron-paul-confirmed-to-reprise-breaking-bad-better-call-saul-1234998709/">premieres </a>on April 18 with the 13 episodes that will be split into two parts. The second part of the final season will premiere on July 11. Episodes will air on AMC, AMC+ and also stream on Netflix Inc (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/nflx#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) in several international territories.

Why It&rsquo;s Important: AMC Networks had two of the highest-rated cable shows of all time with &ldquo;The Walking Dead&rdquo; and &ldquo;Breaking Bad.&rdquo; AMC has seen success with &ldquo;Better Call Saul&rdquo; and also has greenlit several spinoffs to &ldquo;The Walking Dead,&rdquo; which is ending after its current 11th season.
&ldquo;Breaking Bad&rdquo; saw its first few seasons turn in around one million viewers per episode. A streaming deal with Netflix helped boost awareness of the show and led to stronger viewership in later seasons.
The fifth and final season of &ldquo;Breaking Bad&rdquo; <a href="https://ew.com/article/2013/09/30/breaking-bad-series-finale-ratings/">saw </a>viewership hit the five to six million per episode range, a sharp increase from the 1.9 million that tuned in for the season four finale.
The series finale of &ldquo;Breaking Bad&rdquo; had a huge 10.3 million viewers and a 5.2 rating among adults aged 18 to 49. AMC charged $400,000 for each 30-second commercial during the finale, which was on par with network shows from Walt Disney Co.&rsquo;s (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/dis#NYSE">DIS</a>) ABC and Fox Corp.&#39;s&nbsp;(NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/fox#NASDAQ">FOX</a>)(NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/foxa#NASDAQ">FOXA</a>) Fox channel.
The fifth season of &ldquo;Better Call Saul&rdquo; <a href="https://tvseriesfinale.com/tv-show/better-call-saul-season-five-ratings/">averaged </a>1.37 million viewers with the premiere and finale both seeing around 1.6 million viewers. Viewership has dropped as the show has continued on AMC.
The 2015 <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/tv-ratings-better-call-saul-771750/">premiere </a>of &ldquo;Better Call Saul&rdquo; set a cable record with 6.9 million viewers, the most for the premiere of an original series.
The return of the two main characters from the original series could provide a much-needed boost to ratings for AMC and could lead to the network being able to command more in advertising revenue.

Walter And Jesse Are Back: Could A 'Breaking Bad' Reunion Boost AMC Ratings?

AMC Entertainment Holdings (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/amc#NYSE">AMC</a>) is expanding its Northeast presence through the acquisition of seven theaters from the Bow Tie Cinemas chain. The financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
What Happened: AMC will now own and operate five Bow Tie venues in Connecticut, one in Saratoga Springs, New York, and one in Annapolis, Maryland. The acquisition brings a combined total of 66 new screens under the AMC banner.
Bow Tie traces its roots back to 1900 with a series of nickelodeons. The company, which is now in its fourth generation of family ownership, will continue to operate&nbsp;six theaters in five states.

Why It&#39;s Important: This is the latest expansion for AMC, which signed lease agreements last December for the former Pacific and Arclight Cinemas in the Chicago and Los Angeles markets.
&ldquo;Our theater acquisition strategy makes AMC a better and stronger company as we move forward on our glidepath to recovery,&rdquo; said AMC CEO <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/21/06/21396062/5-things-you-might-not-know-about-amc-ceo-adam-aron">Adam Aron</a>. &ldquo;Acquiring these locations is especially notable for our expansion in Connecticut, where we are more than doubling our presence. We are encouraged to bring the magic of AMC to more and more theatres across the country, given our mid-2021 acquisitions of AMC The Grove 14 and AMC Americana at Brand 18, both in the Los Angeles market, continue to rank among the 30 highest grossing movie theatres in the entire United States since joining up with AMC.&rdquo;
AMC Price Action: AMC opened for trading on Wednesday at $17.42 according to <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>; its 52-week range is $8.90 to $72.62.

AMC Acquires 7 Theaters From Bow Tie Cinemas

Last week, movie theater chain AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/amc#NYSE">AMC</a>) purchased a major stake in Hycroft Mining Holding Corp&nbsp;(NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/hymc#NASDAQ">HYMC</a>).&nbsp;
AMC spent $27.9 million in cash for the deal and received roughly 23.4 million shares in the company.&nbsp;
Now, two weeks following&nbsp;the deal, AMC&rsquo;s Hycroft mining company has raised a total of $195 million.&nbsp;
One of the world&rsquo;s leading gold and silver investors, Eric Sprott has taken a large stake in Hycroft. Together, AMC and Sprott invested $56 million in Hycroft.&nbsp;
On Friday, AMC CEO Adam Aron announced in a tweet that&nbsp;$139 million had been raised in additional equity. On the same day, the stock soared almost 22% after hours when the announcement was made.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">I was highly confident that AMC&rsquo;s skills could quickly &ldquo;right the ship&rdquo; at Hycroft (HYMC). We just did! Eric Sprott and AMC invested $56 million. Now we raised a breathtaking $139 million more cash equity! $195 million in total! In only two weeks! Calm seas, smooth sailing ahead. <a href="https://t.co/5wsbi1oqHH">pic.twitter.com/5wsbi1oqHH</a>

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>Replying to Aron&rsquo;s tweet, a follower @NorcalSlider said, &ldquo;Holy sh*t, that&rsquo;s huge&rdquo;.&nbsp;
Aron quickly responded to Norcal&rsquo;s tweet talking about the skepticism about&nbsp;AMC&rsquo;s investment in HYMC.&nbsp;
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">You know, as the sitting CEO of an NYSE-listed company, I could never say publicly what is in NorCal&rsquo;s tweet, not in a million years.

AMC's Hycroft Raises $195M In Just Two Weeks And Adam Aron Can't Stop Boasting About It

Initial results are in for a poll issued by AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/amc#NYSE">AMC</a>) CEO Adam Aron on <a href="https://twitter.com/CEOAdam/status/1454023849528410115">Twitter</a> on Friday, asking people if the theater chain should add Shiba Inu (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">SHIB</a>) coin to the list of cryptocurrencies the company will soon accept as payment.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">TWITTER POLL #2: As you know, you can now purchase AMC gift cards using cryptocurrency, and our IT group is writing code so that soon we can accept online payments in Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin and Dogecoin among others. Should we strive to take Shiba Inu too?

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>As of Sunday morning, 86.8&nbsp;percent were in favor of AMC Theatres&nbsp;accepting SHIB.
Aron posted the tweet after the crypto coin&#39;s price surged due to crypto whales and retail traders. &nbsp;
On Friday, It outperformed Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>) to become the world&#39;s ninth-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization.
The Shiba Inu ecosystem has expanded to include <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/shiba-inu-fetches-a-new-ath-3-reasons-why-shib-keeps-jumping-higher">ShibaSwap</a>, a decentralized exchange, or DEX.&nbsp;The total value locked, or TVL, on ShibaSwap amounts to $537.92 million based on data from <a href="https://defillama.com/protocol/shibaswap">Defi Llama</a>.&nbsp;
The entertainment firm is already <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/21/10/23253609/amc-begins-accepting-dogecoin-for-digital-gift-cards">preparing</a> itself for consumers to pay for movie tickets in <a href="http://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/21/08/22414041/amc-to-accept-bitcoin-as-payment-for-tickets-concessions-by-end-of-year">Bitcoin</a> (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>), Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>), Litecoin CRYPTO: LTC), and Dogecoin.
Last week, the company announced that it is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/21/10/23479202/amc-mulls-creating-its-own-cryptocurrency-getting-hyperactive-in-the-space">exploring</a> issuing its own cryptocurrency in the future. &quot;There are a lot of reasons why AMC could be a successful issuer of cryptocurrency as well as a redeemer of cryptocurrency,&quot; Aron said during an interview.
AMC has already enabled its customer to purchase digital gift cards via Dogecoin and other cryptocurrencies using the BitPay wallet.
In Sept, Aron <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/21/09/22964712/amc-will-also-accept-ethereum-litecoin-and-bitcoin-cash-alongside-bitcoin-ceo">announced</a> that the movie theater chain would also accept several other cryptocurrencies for payment.
AMC Entertainment&#39;s year-to-date gains stand at an impressive 1828.3% as the company continues to see high interest from retail investors.

AMCエンターテインメント・ホールディングス（NYSE：<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMC#NYSE">AMC</a>）は、株価が過去1年間で88.44％、年初来では18.30％下落し、乱高下の1年を過ごしている。
同社の株価変動の背景には、会社特有のニュースと昨年6月に Keith Gill 氏（通称「Roaring Kitty」）が戻ってきたことなど、さまざまな要因が絡んでいる。Gill氏は、ゲームストップ（NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GME#NYSE">GME</a>) に大きなポジションを保有していることを明らかにし、これによってミーム株に対する投資家の関心が再燃し、AMC株も一気に注目を集める結果となった。
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">AMCの財務ニュースとQ2決算の銀の弾丸</h2>
AMCが発表した<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/AMC/earnings">第2四半期の決算</a>を受け、波乱の一年は続いている。同社は、1株当たり43セントの純損失で、売上高は10億3000万ドルを記録し、増収率は23.5％となった。
CEOのAdam Aron氏は、四半期初めはハリウッドのストライキが影響したものの、ディズニーの「インサイド・アウト２」の成功などを受けて四半期末は好調だったと述べた。
2024年6月は、AMCにとって高いポイントとなり、同社は過去最高の6月調整後EBITDAを記録した。その勢いは7月にも続き、これには「怪盗グルーのミニオン大脱走」や「デッドプール＆ウルヴァリン」などの超大作が貢献している。Aron氏は、債務の償還期限を延長し、2026年までにリリースされる映画一覧を見据えることで、AMCの財務基盤の安定化に大きく貢献することを期待している。

テクニカルの観点から見ると、AMCの株はゴールデンクロスに向けて動いている可能性がある。
現在、株価は5ドルで中程度の売り圧力がかかっており、5.02ドルの8日移動平均線や5.18ドルの200日移動平均線などの主要移動平均線を下回る形となっている。

売りのサインが出ているにもかかわらず、RSIは48.91で売られすぎの領域に近づいており、株価の下値リスクは限定されている可能性が示唆されている。MACD指標は-0.01で、モメンタムのシフトが起こる可能性が示唆されており、ボリンジャーバンド（25）も、株価が下がり気味の中で取引されていることを示唆している。もし株価が安定すれば、ここで買いの機会が生まれるかもしれない。
6月にRoaring Kitty氏が再び出現したことで、AMC株はますます注目を集めている。これを受け、ゴールデンクロスの可能性を秘めたAMC株は、投資家にとっては重要な局面となるかもしれない。これが大復活の序曲となるのか、それとも映画ドラマの新たな展開に繋がるのか、今後の動向に注目が集まるだろう。

巨大メディア企業であるウォルト・ディズニー・カンパニー（NYSE:DIS）は、2023年に<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/23/07/33139000/disney-box-office-troubles-will-2023-be-the-first-year-since-2014-to-miss-this-major-milest">数歩下がる形になった興行収入の好転を期待して、今後公開予定の映画群で一矢報いる見通し。</a>
映画ファン、ディズニーの投資家、およびディズニーの経営陣にとって、「インサイド・ヘッド2」「モアナ2」、そして「デッドプール＆ウルヴァリン」の重要性について見ていく。
興行収入の苦戦2024年はまだ終わってはいないが、ディズニーの興行収入に関しては成功が見込めそうもない。なぜなら、同社の多くの映画にとって、2023年は全体的にはガッカリの年となったからだ。
ディズニーが2024年にヒットを記録したのは、興行収入で国内4位となる15億1500万ドルを稼いだ映画「猿の惑星の王国」のみ。
ディズニーは2023年、興行収入でコムキャスト（NASDAQ:CMCSA）に次いで2位になった。これは、2016年以降、映画スタジオ別の世界興行収入でディズニーが首位を取れなかったのは初めてのことである。
また、ディズニーは2023年、世界興行収入で少なくとも10億ドルを記録する映画を1本も出せなかった。ディズニーのこの記録は、2020年と2021年の新型コロナウイルスの影響が大きかったため、世界興行収入が減少したこの2年を除けば、2014年から続いていた。
2023年、ディズニーが記録した国内興行収入と世界興行収入の両方でトップ10の映画は、以下の通り。
・興行収入1位『猿の惑星の王国』 &#8211; 15億1500万ドル（国内） 8億4560万ドル（世界） 
・興行収入7位『リトル・マーメイド』 &#8211; 7億8500万ドル（国内） 8億2700万ドル（世界） 
・興行収入10位『エレメンタル』 &#8211; 4億9500万ドル（国内） 12億ドル（世界）
このうち、この3本の映画は、ディズニープラスでの視聴が好調だった。
「ガーディアンズ・オブ・ギャラクシー Vol.3」が2023年のディズニーの映画で最高の成績を記録し、国内興行収入は3億5900万ドル、世界興行収入は8億4560万ドルを記録した。また、同社は「リトル・マーメイド」、「エレメンタル」でも好成績を収めた。なお、この2本の映画は他のスタジオが制作したもので、2023年には世界興行収入が10億ドルを超える映画が2本あった。
良いニュース？今週末、高い期待が寄せられているシリーズ映画「インサイド・ヘッド2」が公開され、ディズニーは興行収入に対する反発を試みる。
この映画は、2015年に公開され国内で3億5690万ドル、世界で8億5890万ドルを稼いだピクサーのヒット作『インサイド・ヘッド』の続編。
ディズニーの新作映画は、国内興行収入で8,500万ドルを売り上げると見込まれている。これは、<a href="https://www.boxofficemojo.com/year/2024/?ref_=bo_yl_table_1">今年</a>の最高記録で、「デューン: パート2」（8,250万ドル）を超える見込み。週末には国際市場で5,000万ドルを記録すると予想されている。
「インサイド・ヘッド2」は、ディズニーのピクサー部門にとって極めて重要な映画になるかもしれない。同部門は、興行収入の成績が振るわなかった映画が続いていたからだ。
「エレメンタル」は好調に回復し、興行収入は世界中で5億ドルに迫る売り上げを記録。しかし、国内興行収入の2,960万ドルはピクサーの最近の映画の中で最低記録だ。同じくディズニーの新作映画「ライトイヤー」と「オンワード」も、興行収入の面で振るわなかった。2023年に制作されたピクサーの他の映画も、Disney+のストリーミングサービスで独占配信された。
次なる一手7月26日には、ディズニーが手掛けるもう1本の最新作『デッドプール＆ウルヴァリン』が公開される。この映画は、ディズニーの所有するもとマーベルの映画としては初めて、R指定（17歳未満の者は保護者の同意が必要）となる。
デッドプールの初登場トレイラーは、<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/02/37147153/deadpool-3-trailer-breaks-records-thanks-to-super-bowl-could-the-movie-become-highest-gross">最初の24時間で3億6500万回視聴され、</a>その中で一部がスーパーボウルLVIIIのCM中に放映されたこともあり、期待は高まっている。
なお、デッドプールという映画は、2016年には国内で3億6310万ドル、世界で7億8280万ドルを記録し、続編は2024年には国内で3億2460万ドル、世界で7億8590万ドルを記録した。デッドプールシリーズは、世界興行収入10億ドルを超える記録を持つ映画『ジョーカー』（10億6000万ドル）に続くR指定映画の中で2番目に成績を残している。一方2023年に公開された『オッペンハイマー』は、10億ドル以上の世界興行収入を記録し、R指定映画の中で歴代2位の興行収入を達成した。
また、『デッドプール』は国内興行収入で、R指定映画の中で『パッション』（3億7080万ドル）に次いで2番目の記録を持つ。
デッドプールシリーズの前2作の成功と、最新の映画の期待感、そして記録的なトレイラーがあるため、「デッドプール3」が幾つかの記録を更新することも十分にあり得る。
「デッドプール＆ウルヴァリン」の初日チケット販売は、<a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/deadpool-wolverine-record-r-rated-ticket-sales-1235906223/#:~:text=Box%20Office%3A%20'Deadpool%20%26%20Wolverine,to%20%248M%2D%249M">ハリウッド・リポーター</a>によると、すでに興行収入約890万ドルを記録しており、これはR指定映画においては最高の記録だ。
AMCエンターテインメント・ホールディングス（NYSE:AMC）のCEOであるアダム・アーロンは、<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/05/39010959/amc-ceo-says-were-still-here-how-taylor-swift-popcorn-buckets-help-movie-theater-from-going">最近のインタビューで</a>、今後公開されるディズニーの映画に対するチケット販売が好調だと語った。
アーロン氏は「AMCで既に約20万人の映画ファンがチケットを購入しています。これは、AMCで最も多い初日チケット販売件数で、これまで公開されたR指定映画の中で最高記録です」とツイートしている。
また、11月にはもう一本のディズニー映画『モアナ2』も公開される。この作品は、感謝祭週間中に公開される予定で、これまでにも興行収入週1位、週末1位を記録したことがある。
『モアナ2』は、2016年に公開された映画『モアナと伝説の海』の続編である。前作は国内興行収入で2億4880万ドル、世界興行収入で6億4330万ドルを記録している。
『モアナ2』に対する期待は高く、初のトレイラーは24時間で1億7800万回視聴され、ディズニーおよびピクサーのアニメーション映画の中で最も多くの視聴回数を記録し、<a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/moana-2-trailer-most-viewed-pixar-disney-history-1235912041/">ハリウッド・リポーターが報じたところ</a>。
1億7800万回の視聴回数は、前作『インサイド・ヘッド2』の1億5700万回を上回るもので、この記録を越えた。
ディズニーの『モアナ2』も、ディズニープラスでの視聴が好調だった。当初は同プラットフォームでシリーズとして配信される予定だったが、映画として劇場公開することが決定した。なお、2023年には『モアナ』が、ニールセンのデータによれば、全プラットフォームで最も多くストリーミングされた映画だった。
最後に、ディズニーの3本の最新映画の成績が上がれば、これはディズニーの株価を押し上げる可能性があり、映画の興行収入においても、AMCをはじめとする企業にとっても大きな助けとなるだろう。

AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc.（NYSE：<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMC#NYSE">AMC</a>）の株は10％上昇し、アフターマーケット取引でも引き続き投資家の注目を集めています。詳細はこちらから。
投資家が知っておくべきこと： GameStop Corp（NYSE：<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GME#NYSE">GME</a>）が公開の募集を完了した後、AMCの株は取引延長時間帯における値動きが不安定となっています。この日、ビデオゲームの小売チェーンが公開募集で持ち株会社に登録された株式の最大数を完売し、総計約213.7億ドルの売り上げを上げたと発表しました。
GameStopは純売上高を企業の一般財産、つまり潤滑資金や潤滑投資など法人全般の用途に使用する計画であることに留意してください。
最近の取引セッションで、3年ぶりにソーシャルメディアに復帰したKeith Gill（通称 &#8220;Roaring Kitty&#8221;）と、GameStopの株価の動きは連動しています。 Gill氏は、先週YouTubeで65万人以上の視聴者を集めたライブ配信を行いました。
配信中、Gill氏はGameStopのビュル理論を展開し、CEOの Ryan Cohen氏の回復能力と同社の実質的な現金準備の多さを強調しました。Gill氏はまた、ことも紹介しました。月末に満期を迎えるコールオプションと、GameStopの株500万株を堅持していることを確認しました。
AMCはオリジナルのミーム銘柄の1つとして認識されており、その浅いポジションが売上高のほとんどを占めるため、小売投資家の間で非常に人気があります。<a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>によると、そのショートポジション率は20％近くになります。 この株は、ミーム銘柄やその他のショート売り銘柄と同様の動きをすることが多いです。

デイブ・ポートノイ氏は最近のツイートで、ゲームストップ社（NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GME#NYSE">GME</a>）の株を保持し続けることに自信を表明しました。
ポートノイ氏は、Barstool Sportsを所有し創設したことで知られており、先週木曜日にその株を保持し続けるという彼の強気の立場を共有するためにTwitterに投稿しました。彼は<a href="https://x.com/stoolpresidente/status/1798786814809083913">投稿</a>で、「僕は神様ダムン天才のように#gme（ゲームストップ）を持っているよ。#ddtg（すべてをリスクにかけろ）」と述べました。
ゲームストップの株価の急騰と共にポートノイ氏のツイートは、ゲームストップの株価が再び注目を集めている理由です。これは、Keith Gill（別名Roaring Kitty）がソーシャルメディア上で再び活動を開始して以来、同株の価格が大幅に変動しているからです。 Gill氏の<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/06/39213778/gamestop-stock-surges-as-roaring-kitty-launches-video-countdown-what-investors-should-know">YouTubeライブ配信</a>の発表によって、ゲームストップ株の株価はさらに高騰しました。
ポートノイ氏は、ギルの再登場のニュースが自分の投資に及ぼす影響と自らの立場について議論するために、「緊急速報会議」を開催しました。
関連銘柄ポートノイ氏のツイートは、ゲームストップ株の株価が急上昇したことに対する彼の最後まで揺らがない自信を反映しています。これは、同株の大幅な価格上昇が、大きな話題となっているRoaring Kittyの再登場とも関連があるからです。ギル氏によるこの発表は、AMCエンターテインメントホールディングス社（NYSE：<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMC#NYSE">AMC</a>）の株価にも影響を与えました。
ポートノイ氏は、株価が上昇した2024年5月について、GameStopとAMCを含むミーム株に対する彼の投資について<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/top-stories/24/06/39140594/dave-portnoy-announces-30m-gamestop-stake-700k-shares-of-amc-and-is-now-eyeing-this-stock">率直に語ってきました</a>。彼は、これらの株やRoaring Kittyがソーシャルメディアに再度登場することの影響について積極的に自分の考えを共有してきました。
この株価の大幅な変動にもかかわらず、ショートセラーのアンドリュー・レフト氏は、ギル氏のYouTubeライブ配信がゲームストップの株式を急上昇させたというニュースが入っても、<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/short-sellers/24/06/39217978/exclusive-andrew-left-has-small-position-short-in-gamestop-as-roaring-kitty-nears-youtube-return-im">ゲームストップに対してショートポジションを維持しました。</a>
木曜日、GameStopの株はアフターセッションで31.62％急騰し、46.55ドルで終了したレギュラートレードの後、61.27ドルに急上昇しました。 <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/lxquj26b2sag">Benzinga Proのデータによると、</a>
