Read MoreHide Full Article
AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. (AMC - Free Report) is scheduled to report fourth-quarter 2022 results on Feb 28. In the last reported quarter, the company’s earnings surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 20%.
Q4 Estimates
For the quarter to be reported, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the loss per share has widened to 20 cents over the past 30 days from 17 cents. In the prior-year quarter, the company reported an adjusted loss per share of 11 cents. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $1.03 billion, suggesting an 11.7% year-over-year decline.
Factors to Note
Dismal Admissions, as well as Food and Beverage revenues, are expected to have negatively impacted AMC’s performance. However, increased average ticket pricing is likely to have aided the company.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Admissions’ and Food and Beverage’s revenues are pegged at $657 million and $369 million compared with the $667 million and $381 million reported in the prior-year quarter, respectively.
