IMAX is Poised to Surpass 50% EBITDA Margins by 2028 on Rise in Filmed-for-IMAX Titles, Wedbush Says

By

IMAX (IMAX) is poised to surpass 50% earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization margins by 2028 as the company continues to benefit from an uptick in volume and quality for filmed-for-IMAX titles in 2026 through 2028, Wedbush said in a Friday note.

Wedbush said IMAX remains on its "Best Ideas List" and that the company sees further upside from global footprint expansion, higher volume of alternative content to boost revenue and its global box office increasingly relying on a mix of local language and global fare.

The 2026 to 2027 "global film slate underscores IMAX's growing prominence in Hollywood and worldwide as an essential partner for major theatrical releases across genres, languages, and geographies," according to the note.

Wedbush reiterated its outperform rating with a $46 price target.
