September Sell-Off: Is AMC Safe?
On Monday, the S&P 500 suffered its biggest one-day plunge since May as the downdraft sent most stocks tumbling lower. Interestingly, battleground stock AMC Entertainment (NYSE: AMC) performed much worse than the market by dropping 9% when the broader market was down just 2%. This is because the theater operator's stock price has been inflated far beyond a fair representation of its business fundamentals.
This past Labor Day, AMC achieved important milestones with attendance exceeding pre-pandemic levels and admissions revenue breaking the U.S. record it set in 2013. Despite the market sell-off and the theater operator's outsized plunge, is AMC Entertainment's stock safe over the long-term? Let's find out.
