Cinemark Holdings, Inc. (CNK)

In October 2025, Cinemark announced an agreement with IMAX to add and upgrade IMAX with Laser systems and activate IMAX 70mm film projection systems. The company also announced its Q3 2025 earnings call, and its stock experienced a decrease. In September 2025, Cinemark welcomed Taylor Swift back to its screens and reported the second-biggest domestic horror film opening weekend with "The Conjuring: Last Rites," and paid a dividend of $0.08 per share. In August 2025, Cinemark reported its Q2 2025 results with a revenue increase and announced its plan to dual list common stock on NYSE Texas. In June 2025, Cinemark's Q1 2024 revenue exceeded expectations but decreased compared to Q1 2023 due to Hollywood strikes, though net income improved. In February 2025, Cinemark reinstated its annual cash dividend at $0.32 per share, payable quarterly.

Demand for Cinemark's products and services is seasonal, tied to the film release calendar and holiday periods. The summer movie season is critical, representing approximately 40% of annual ticket sales. The first quarter can be slower, influenced by Hollywood strikes and film slate impact. Blockbuster releases heavily influence demand, with 2025 expected to be strong due to delayed releases. Concession revenue is linked to attendance and overall profitability. Q2 2025 was a strong quarter, indicating robust demand.
