IMAX Potential Suitors Include Netflix, Apple, Wedbush Says

A potential sale of IMAX (IMAX) could attract a number of likely suitors including private equity firms, Netflix (NFLX) and Apple (AAPL), Wedbush Securities said in a Friday note.The premium theater company is exploring a sale, The Wall Street Journal reported Thursday, citing people familiar with the matter. The sale process, however, is still in the early stages, according to the report.IMAX has held "preliminary talks" through intermediaries, although the company hasn't made any official pitches, CNBC reported Thursday, citing a source.Wedbush said IMAX is an attractive asset, pointing to its strong brand and an expanding earnings profile."At roughly $2 billion in enterprise value, a prospective acquirer would be buying one of the most defensible moats in entertainment for what amounts to a rounding error on the balance sheet of any major studio or technology platform," Wedbush analysts including Alicia Reese wrote.PE ownership would avoid a potential platform conflict as there would be no competing interest, Reese said.The conflict-of-interest problem is "meaningfully smaller" in case Netflix acquires IMAX."Netflix's content calendar remains thin enough that purchasing IMAX would not foreclose rival studio access to the format; the conflict-of-interest problem that would constrain regular studio buyers is meaningfully smaller for Netflix," Reese said. "Owning IMAX would also give every major filmmaker Netflix signs a guaranteed premium theatrical showcase as part of the deal, a powerful recruiting tool in a competitive talent marketplace."On the other hand, Apple TV+ is investing "aggressively" in prestige content and has relationships with filmmakers, who could pitch a guaranteed IMAX showcase during their signing conversations, according to the research note.IMAX's current enterprise value is "a rounding error relative to Apple's balance sheet," Wedbush said.Meanwhile, Sony (SONY) has the best strategic narrative of any studio acquirer."It has no streaming platform, making theatrical its primary monetization window in a way that is structurally different from other major studios," Reese said.IMAX's shares were advancing by 15% ahead of market close on Friday.Price: $39.13, Change: $+5.25, Percent Change: +15.50%

Imax's Potential Acquirers Include Private Equity Firms, Netflix, Apple, Sony, Wedbush Says

Imax (IMAX) is an "attractive" asset, and its most likely acquirers include private equity firms, Netflix (NFLX), Apple (AAPL), and Sony (SONY), Wedbush said in a Friday note.Imax is exploring a sale and has approached entertainment companies as potential buyers, the Wall Street Journal reported Thursday.At around $2 billion in enterprise value, Imax is trading below its standalone value and at a deeper discount as a potential acquisition target, the analysts said. They cited the company's well-known global brand, asset-light licensing model, and structurally expanding earnings profile.Private equity would be interested in Imax's free cash flow generation, minimal capital expenditure requirements relative to revenue, and a clear path to operational optimization. Ownership of Imax would also avoid any platform-conflict issue, the analysts said.Netflix ownership would not hamper rival studio access to the format as its content calendar is thin enough that purchasing Imax would not foreclose rival studio access to the format, according to the note.Netflix and Apple would also benefit from Imax becoming a powerful tool to woo major filmmakers, according to the note.Wedbush's rating on the company's stock is outperform with a price target of $46.Price: $38.77, Change: $+4.89, Percent Change: +14.43%

IMAX on Track to Reach $1.4 Billion in Box Office Proceeds Despite Headwinds, B. Riley Says

IMAX (IMAX) seems on track to hit $1.4 billion in global box office collections this year despite a series of headwinds, including certain film delays, B. Riley Securities said in a note emailed Monday.IMAX's shares lost 9% year to date through Friday, and have lost 22% from a late-February high, B. Riley Managing Director Drew Crum wrote.The release schedule of local-language films "Peng Hu" and "Once Upon a Time in the Middle East" shifted from Chinese New Year to the summer, according to the research note. The delay is expected to reduce the two movies' contribution to $20 million from $30 million previously projected, Crum said.Meanwhile, Netflix's (NFLX) "Narnia: The Magician's Nephew" got pushed to February next year, and will now no longer be an IMAX exclusive, according to B. Riley. Additional setbacks include CEO Richard Gelfond's medical leave that ended in May.Late last month, IMAX affirmed its 2026 guidance, including $1.4 billion in global box office proceeds."While the margin for error has narrowed, we still see a path to a ($1.4 billion) global box office, a key piece to the company's 2026 guidance," Crum said. "We believe progress towards achieving this financial goal should be evident in the current quarter and (second half), thereby helping to improve investor sentiment and supporting higher share prices going forward."The brokerage pointed to outperformance of second-quarter films "Project Hail Mary" and "Michael" and a potential upside for local-language content among factors driving optimism for 2026.B. Riley estimates annual revenue growth at 8% and 9% in 2026 and 2027, to $444.5 million and $485 million, respectively. Analysts in a FactSet poll expect $442.6 million this year and $472.7 million in 2027.The brokerage maintained its buy rating on IMAX's stock, with a $46 price target.Price: $34.47, Change: $+0.88, Percent Change: +2.60%
