AMC’s Q3 Estimates
The Zacks Consensus Estimate has narrowed to a loss of 7 cents per share from a loss of 9 cents in the past 30 days. In the prior-year quarter, the company incurred a loss of 9 cents.
The consensus mark for revenues is pegged at $1.33 billion, indicating a decline of 5.7% from the year-ago reported figure of $1.41 billion.
Key Factors to Consider for AMC’s Q3 Earnings Release
AMC’s third-quarter 2024 performance is likely to have been hurt by fewer high-demand releases. The company faces a challenging environment in the U.K. due to aggressive pricing from competitors, which might have limited its ability to increase ticket prices and capture market share. Continued closures of underperforming theaters might have reduced total ticket sales, affecting overall revenues.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues from admissions, food and beverage, and other theater is pegged at $750 million, $457 million and $119 million, indicating a decline of 6%, 5.4% and 5.6% from the prior-year levels, respectively.
However, AMC's focus on enhancing the guest experience and operational efficiency has been pivotal in its success. The company continues to innovate and diversify its offerings. These efforts are likely to have aided the company’s performance in the quarter to be reported.
Meanwhile, inflationary wage and cost pressures are anticipated to have exerted additional strain on AMC's operational expenses, potentially squeezing profit margins.
