On July 22, AMC Entertainment rose 9.03% in regular trading, trading at $2.3678/share, with turnover of $18.87 million. The rally was driven by multiple analyst upgrades following the company's record-breaking Q2 earnings.

B. Riley raised its price target on AMC from $2.25 to $2.50 while maintaining a neutral rating. Previously, Wedbush lifted its target from $3 to $4 with an outperform rating, noting AMC is well positioned for a strong second half supported by market share gains, a more consistent release slate, and debt reduction plans. FactSet consensus now shows an average overweight rating with a mean target of $2.79.

The upgrades stem from AMC's Q2 results that significantly exceeded expectations: adjusted EPS came in at $0.14 versus the consensus estimate of a $0.06 loss, revenue rose 14.2% year-over-year to $1.6 billion topping the $1.5 billion estimate, and adjusted EBITDA surged 70% to $321 million — both revenue and EBITDA marking 106-year company records. The company also confirmed no material debt maturities prior to 2029, enhancing financial flexibility.
