Earnings Scheduled For February 19, 2025

Less than two weeks after <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43494650/disney-q1-earnings-powered-by-moana-2-and-mufasa-theme-parks-loses-streaming-subscribers">reporting quarterly financials,</a> Walt Disney Company's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>) stock is back in the spotlight with its latest Marvel Cinematic Universe film hitting theaters.
What Happened: "Captain America: Brave New World" grossed $100 million domestically and $92.4 million in international markets for a $192.4 million global tally during the President's Day holiday weekend, as reported by <a href="https://variety.com/2025/film/box-office/captain-america-brave-new-world-box-office-staying-power-marvel-cinematic-universe-1236310075/">Variety</a>.
The box office milestone adds excitement to the expanding slate of content <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/07/40021651/disneys-magical-marvel-weekend-robert-downey-jr-russo-brothers-steal-comic-con-spotlight-as">from the company</a>, but is nothing new for a Marvel Cinematic Universe film and neither is opening number one at the box office. 
The big question for Disney will be if the film has staying power and can start a streak of successful Marvel movies in 2025.
The film is the fourth in the Captain America series, while the character has also played a pivotal role in Avengers films. Here is the box office <a href="https://www.boxofficemojo.com/">history </a>of the past Captain America movies.
<ul>
<li>"Captain America: The First Avenger" (2011): $65.1 million domestic opening, $176.7 million domestic, $370.6 million global</li>
<li>"Captain America: The Winter Soldier" (2014): $95.0 million domestic opening, $259.8 million domestic, $714.4 million global</li>
<li>"Captain America: Civil War" (2016): $179.1 million domestic opening, $408.1 million domestic, $1.16 billion global</li>
</ul>
&#8220;Brave New World" will likely rank second for domestic box office when it&#8217;s finished; "Civil War" acted more like an Avengers ensemble film and had a huge opening to kick things off.

Why It's Important: The latest Marvel film has a 50% critic <a href="https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/captain_america_brave_new_world">rating </a>on Rotten Tomatoes and an 80% audience score. On <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt14513804/">IMDb</a>, the film has a 6.1 rating (out of 10). That&#8217;s among the lower ratings for a Marvel film.
Movie theater companies like AMC Entertainment Holdings (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMC#NYSE">AMC</a>) and Cinemark Holdings (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CNK#NYSE">CNK</a>) will be hoping, like Disney, that the film has staying power at the box office and sees a lower drop-off than normal for a Marvel film in its second weekend.
"Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3" opened with $118.4 million domestically in 2023 and saw a 47% drop in its second weekend, which was one of the smaller drops for superhero films in recent years. The film went on to gross $359 million domestically and $845.6 million globally.
The third Guardians film could also be comparable to the fourth Captain America thanks to both 2023 and 2025 having three Marvel movies on the release schedule.
Guardians was the second movie released by Disney in 2023 and went on to be the highest-grossing of the three. Here were the three films:
<ul>
<li>"Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania": $106.1 million domestic opening, $214.5 million domestic, $476.1 million global</li>
<li>"Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3": $118.4 million domestic opening, $359.0 million domestic, $845.6 million global</li>
<li>"The Marvels": $46.1 million domestic opening, $84.5 million domestic, $206.1 million global</li>
</ul>
In total, the three films raked in $658.0 million in domestic box office revenue and $1.53 billion globally. The Guardians film enjoyed a stronghold in theaters. The Ant-Man sequel, however, saw a 70% drop in domestic box office in its second weekend with poor reviews. "The Marvels" went on to be Disney's biggest Marvel Cinematic Universe flop.
While other movie studios would be excited with those overall figures, it's important to remember that Disney varies the number of Marvel films released each year. Last year, the company had only one Marvel release: "Deadpool &amp; Wolverine." That film broke records and grossed $636.7 million domestically and $1.34 billion worldwide. It nearly eclipsed the total of the three films released in 2023 combined.
Disney, its shareholders and movie theater companies will be hoping Marvel has three blockbuster films in 2025. "Thunderbolts" and "The Fantastic Four: First Steps" will open on May 2 and July 25, respectively.
DIS Price Action: Disney stock is down 1% to $109.21 on Tuesday versus a 52-week trading range of $83.91 to $123.74. Disney stock is down 0.3% over the past year.

Cinemark Hldgs's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CNK#NYSE">CNK</a>) short percent of float has fallen 6.18% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 24.06 million shares sold short, which is 38.28% of all regular shares that are available for trading.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Comparing Cinemark Hldgs's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Cinemark Hldgs's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 6.17%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.

Peering Into Cinemark Hldgs's Recent Short Interest

In the current market session, Cinemark Hldgs Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CNK#NYSE">CNK</a>) share price is at $29.37, after a 1.91% spike. Moreover, over the past month, the stock fell by 3.93%, but in the past year, went up by 108.60%. Shareholders might be interested in knowing whether the stock is overvalued, even if the company is performing up to par in the current session.

<h3>Evaluating Cinemark Hldgs P/E in Comparison to Its Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company's EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company's current performance against it's past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&amp;P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 54.21 in the Entertainment industry, Cinemark Hldgs Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 17.57. Shareholders might be inclined to think that the stock might perform worse than it's industry peers. It's also possible that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1737556209_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.

Intraday Update

Price Over Earnings Overview: Cinemark Hldgs

Analysts turn their focus to the 2025 movie season, offering box office predictions as the industry grapples with the continued <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/streaming">rise of streaming platforms.</a>
JPMorgan 2025 Outlook: The movie theater industry <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/12/42750888/top-anticipated-2025-movies-for-big-screen-success-and-stocks-investors-should-watch">could be normalizing</a> after facing the COVID-19 pandemic disruption and labor stoppages, JPMorgan analyst David Karnovsky said in a new investor note.
"The key headwind for theaters remains supply – COVID and strike-related production shutdowns hampered output, and while the impacts are yet to be fully overcome, the lack of ongoing constraints sets up the conditions for a full recovery in volume by 2026 or 2027," Karnovsky said.
The analyst forecasts the North American box office to hit $9.50 billion in 2025, up 10.8% year-over-year. Broken down by quarter, Karnovsky's predictions are as follows:
<ul>
<li>Q1: $1.77 billion, +9.7% year-over-year</li>
<li>Q2: $2.44 billion, +25.1% year-over-year</li>
<li>Q3: $2.57 billion, -3.7% year-over-year</li>
<li>Q4: $2.73 billion, +16.2% year-over-year</li>
</ul>
While the report does not share price targets for movie theater stocks, Cinemark Holdings (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CNK#NYSE">CNK</a>) and IMAX Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IMAX#NYSE">IMAX</a>) are named in the report. AMC Entertainment Holdings (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMC#NYSE">AMC</a>) would be another stock to watch, given the potential increase in domestic 2025 box office revenue.
"While our forecast builds for significant growth, we believe it is below some of the more bullish estimates for $10b-plus which followed strong performance during the holiday period."
The analyst said he remains constructive on the movie theater industry given the rise of the streaming market, specifically increased film output from Netflix Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>). The rise of Netflix and streaming platforms has shortened theatrical release windows for movies.
"While these forces have delivered real stress to the ecosystem, with some hindsight, it appears many of the bear theses that existed pre-pandemic were overblown."
The Walt Disney Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>) is also featured several times in the report, with Karnovsky highlighting upcoming movies like "Zootopia 2," "Snow White," "Lilo &amp; Stitch," "Captain America: Brave New World," "Fantastic Four" and "Avatar: Fire and Ash."
Disney is also highlighted for the early 2026 outlook with movies like "Toy Story 5," a live-action "Moana", "Avengers: Doomsday" and "The Mandalorian &amp; Grogu."

Goldman Sachs on Movie Theater Stocks: Goldman Sachs analyst Stephen Laszczyk has a domestic box office revenue estimate of $9.4 billion for 2026.
Laszczyk projects a recovery to 82% of 2019 revenue levels, after which earnings would likely remain range-bound.
In the recent report, the analyst highlights IMAX and Cinemark as the two covered stocks in the sector.
The analyst has a Sell rating on Imax with a $16 price target. Despite the sell rating, the analyst sees several scenarios that could provide upside risk to the rating.
"Box office demand could recover more quickly and on a larger scale than expected," Laszczyk said.
The analyst said movie theaters could look to add more Imax screens. A change in China's policy to allow more American blockbusters in the country could also benefit Imax, the analyst added.
"IMAX may benefit from uplifts in ticket prices as studios and exhibitors look to increase revenue."
The analyst also has a Sell rating on Cinemark with a $24 price target.
Similar to Imax, the analyst said there are several scenarios that could provide upside for the movie theater stock.
Along with box office demand recovering faster than expected, the analyst said better food and beverage margins and lower operating expenses could help Cinemark.

Disney leads the way with 10 films on the list for 2025, including several superhero movies under the Marvel brand, animated films and the return of the Avatar franchise. The media giant could continue its streak as the highest-grossing film studio with a strong lineup of films.
Ranking second on the list is Comcast, which has several potential blockbusters including the return of the Jurassic World franchise and the sequel to "Wicked." Comcast had several of the highest-grossing films in 2024, including "Wicked," which ranked third domestically.
Warner Bros. and Paramount rank next on the list, but the titles might not be as recognizable to everyone and could signal that 2025 is a year for Disney and Comcast to distance themselves from the field. "Superman" will be a major test for Warner Bros. in the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/23/02/30678077/its-a-bird-its-a-plane-its-dc-comics-new-movies-tv-shows-announced"> rebirth of the plans </a>for the DC Comics film franchise.
Outside of the media companies, movie theater stocks such as AMC and Cinemark Holdings (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CNK#NYSE">CNK</a>) might be best positioned to benefit from the overall movie slate and projections for the box office revenue to rise in 2025.

Top Anticipated 2025 Movies For Big Screen Success And Stocks Investors Should Watch

Few hedge fund managers command the attention of Wall Street quite like Dan S. Loeb. As the founder of Third Point, a $7 billion hedge fund, Loeb has made his mark with bold activist strategies that challenge the status quo and drive <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/hedge-funds">transformation in global companies.</a>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Portfolio Overview</h3>
As of Q3 2024, Third Point's portfolio is valued at $7.37 billion, comprising 41 investments. The fund gained 5.3% during the quarter, with top holdings including Pacific Gas &amp; Electric Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PCG#NYSE">PCG</a>) at 13%, Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) at 9.3%, and Danaher Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DHR#NYSE">DHR</a>) at 7.3%. Smaller positions include Vistra Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VST#NYSE">VST</a>) and Bath &amp; Body Works, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BBWI#NYSE">BBWI</a>), each at 5.1%.
Best Performers: These five stocks have surged over 20% in the last 6 months.

Investment Strategy:
<ul>
<li>Loeb is a prominent activist investor who acquires significant stakes in underperforming companies to advocate for improvements in management, operations, or governance, with the goal of enhancing shareholder value. A key example is his 2011 investment in Yahoo, where a 5% stake and strategic push led to transformations and over $1 billion in gains, <a href="https://hedgefundalpha.com/dan-loeb-portfolio/">according </a>to Hedge Fund Alpha.</li>
<li>Throughout his career, Loeb has focused more on creating spin-offs than investing in existing ones. He recently applied his activist strategy with Sony and Shell to pursue spin-offs, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2021/10/28/shell-vs-activist-dan-loeb-is-bigger-for-big-oil-than-exxon-board-war.html">according </a>to CNBC, but was unsuccessful in these efforts.</li>
<li>Beyond equities, Loeb explores opportunities in credit markets, including distressed debt and corporate bonds, aiming to generate high-risk-adjusted returns by exploiting inefficiencies in those areas. In 2012, Loeb invested in Greek sovereign bonds during the financial crisis, assessing the risk-reward ratio and achieving strong returns, adding to an already successful year, CNBC <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2012/10/03/third-points-loeb-bets-big-and-wins-on-greek-debt.html">reported</a>.</li>
</ul>
Historical Performance: Since launching in 1995, the fund has averaged annual returns of 16%, attracting new investors with consistent positive performance, according to Hedge Fund Alpha.
Loeb's major successes came during the dot-com bubble and the 2008 financial crisis, with his fund posting a 45% return in 2009 despite a market downturn.
Third Point&#8217;s assets under management reportedly peaked at nearly $18 billion in 2022 before declining to approximately $7 billion, attributed to underperformance during a challenging market period in 2022. By the end of 2023, the fund achieved modest positive returns, indicating some stabilization.
