cinemark vs AMC

Cinemark has lesser screen at 4+K, revenue $2.7B in 2023, total debt $3.55B and lesser profit margin in term of food, merchandise variety... but gained +30% YTD to $17.68, while AMC collapsed.

Due to AMC lousy ceo AA idea to keep diluting stocks value for fun totally crushed any hope for stock price recovery, afterall who is stupid enough again to buy 40M stocks at $350m Sep23 when you can now buy 140M stocks at market price. Only utilize 28% of the 390M new shares issue right, AMC looked to use up another 100M shares to lock in another $250M to bring its cash holding to over $1B, bring its total outstanding shares to 360M shares, with potential to issue the remaining 190M new stocks. Time to vote out the highly paid CEO who took home a $6M cash bonus + 1.5m salary plus $17.9M of amc stocks. should ask him to take all pay compensation in AMC stocks and he will be crying regretful now. 🤬
