Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Imax stock:
- 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "IMAX is benefiting from strong performance of a few movie titles and solid box office collections in Greater China. Notably, Avengers: Endgame contributed to the biggest ever IMAX opening in China. The movie also broke IMAX box office records in markets like Germany and France. Moreover, management expects 2019 box-office performance to be strong, owing to popular releases like Avengers: Endgame. Further, the company signed deals for new theaters and upgrades across Europe, North America and Japan. It expects to increase footprint in Japan, which is the third most contributing country to the box office globally. IMAX shares have outperformed the industry in the past year." (7/2/2019)
- 2. Barrington Research analysts commented, "We are encouraged by new opportunities in the core business line such as greater flexibility in screen usage (now primarily international, but hopefully extending to domestic markets), reduced screening periods for individual films within a larger number of titles (very few run more than a couple of weeks) and experimentation with reseating options. Attention to the cost structure is also important to profitability. Further, newer initiatives in strengthening brand recognition and reception coupled with continually improving video and audio delivery technology, now including laser, contribute to renewed confidence in IMAX."
