On CAPS, 94% of the 1,692 members who have rated IMAX believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward.
Just last month, one of those bulls, TMFInnovator, succinctly summed up the bull case for our community:
- Great brand recognition, which is redefining the way that movies are watched. This allows theaters to charge higher prices for IMAX showings.
-Those higher prices are shared with IMAX through Revenue-sharing agreements. They signed deals with 25 new theaters in Q1 alone, with a large part of their expansion coming internationally (China, Indonesia). This business model provides much higher margins to IMAX than simply installing the equipment.
-Backlog of 283 theater systems. There is still plenty of demand for the IMAX experience.
