-- Wedbush週四在一份報告中指出，IMAX（IMAX）有望受益於2026年至2028年間IMAX電影數量和品質的提升，這將提高其市場份額。 報告還指出，同時，隨著全球票房日益融合本地語言電影和國際電影，IMAX也將從中受益；此外，公司還獲得了更多其他類型的內容來支持收入，並不斷擴大其全球業務版圖。 Wedbush表示，這些正面因素可望幫助IMAX在2028年實現息稅折舊攤提前利潤率（EBITDA）超過50%。 這家投資公司表示，今年和明年的「全球電影片單凸顯了IMAX在好萊塢乃至全球日益增長的地位，使其成為跨類型、跨語言、跨地域的大型院線發行的重要合作夥伴」。 IMAX計劃於4月30日公佈其第一季財務業績。 Wedbush重申了對IMAX的「跑贏大盤」評級和46美元的目標價。
