If You Like AMC, You're Really Going to Like This High-Yielding Investment
Things are starting to look up for the multiplex industry. AMC Entertainment Holdings (NYSE: AMC) and its peers just pulled off a record Labor Day weekend in box office receipts earlier this month, and now the major movie studios are starting to pull back from making theatrical releases available on streaming services at the time of their big-screen debuts.
AMC is this year's hottest stock, nearly a 22-bagger year-to-date. Is there a coattail play that hasn't appreciated as much? Smaller multiplex operators may seem like a logical place to start, but a lot of AMC's rivals are in financial shambles right now. Its largest competitor actually closed down its screens for months late last year after the industry started cranking back up, and that's squandered momentum that the chain will never regain.
A strong bandwagon play could be Imax, especially since it's already an AMC partner providing super-sized theatrical screening experiences and mutually sharing in the platform's success. However, what if I told you that there's a high-yielding AMC partner that you probably haven't considered as a more conservative way to ride AMC's good fortune? Have you met EPR Properties (NYSE: EPR)?
