AMC said nearly 3.2 million people saw films at its theaters globally between July 8 and July 12 giving the company its highest weekend attendance since the coronavirus pandemic began.
Rich Greenfield of Lightshed Partners told Yahoo Finance that the numbers are not close to pre-pandemic levels and said AMC’s shares were overvalued.
Wall Street continues to bet against AMC using complicated bearish options strategies like “Bear put spread,” as per an earlier report.
This month, AMC said it would not vote on a previously announced $25-million-share offering. This would have allowed the pandemic-hit company to raise cash.
AMC CEO Adam Aron said on Twitter, “It’s no secret I think shareholders should authorize 25 million more AMC shares. But what YOU think is important to us.”
AMC shares have spiked 1,756.1% since the year began. On Tuesday, AMC shares fell 7.65% in the regular session to $39.35 and another 5.64% in the after-hours to $37.13.\

Carr based his thesis on a “price war ongoing in the wholesale channel” which he said would continue past 2022. This could eat into the company’s margins despite strong sales volumes.
On Tuesday, a class-action lawsuit was filed against Rocket in Detroit. The lawsuit alleged that the company made false and misleading statements regarding its sale margins which the lawsuit said were impacted by “increased competition.”
