MarketBeat reported on Friday, November 13, 2026, that Zacks Research had cut its AMC Entertainment rating from Strong Buy to Hold. The move adds a fresh analyst signal after the cinema operator's third-quarter results.

Analyst view turns more cautious

MarketBeat put the wider analyst consensus at Hold and the average price target at USD 2.73. Its tally comprised one Strong Buy, three Buy ratings, four Holds and two Sells, showing a divided view of the theater operator's prospects.

AMC Entertainment stock traded at 2.94 euros on Lang & Schwarz at 22:44 CET on Friday, November 13, 2026.

Strong quarter raises expectations

AMC's third-quarter results, released on November 4, included earnings of USD 0.13 per share against an analyst estimate of USD 0.09. Revenue reached USD 1.71 billion, compared with expectations of USD 1.66 billion, and increased 31.6 percent from the prior-year quarter, according to MarketBeat.

The earnings beat and revenue growth provide support for the operating recovery narrative, while the new Zacks rating underscores that analysts remain divided over the shares. The USD 2.73 average target also sits below the recent U.S. trading level cited by MarketBeat.
