Cineplex ( (TSE:CGX) ) has issued an update.

Cineplex reported December 2025 box office revenue of $67.0 million, surpassing the prior year’s December performance and bringing its fourth-quarter box office to 95% of 2024 levels. The company attributed the strong finish to a varied film slate led by Avatar: Fire and Ash, robust demand for premium formats that generated about 90% of that title’s box office, and solid contributions from family and animated releases such as Zootopia 2.

International and alternative content continued to underpin Cineplex’s strategy and market differentiation, with Hindi-language title Dhurandhar becoming the highest-grossing Hindi film ever in North America and generating over 30% of its regional box office through Cineplex locations. Additional momentum came from sold-out theatrical screenings of the Stranger Things series finale and strong December performances from Cineplex Pictures releases The Housemaid and Jujutsu Kaisen: Execution, reinforcing the company’s emphasis on premium, event-style experiences and diverse programming as it heads into 2026 with a robust slate of upcoming releases.

The most recent analyst rating on (TSE:CGX) stock is a Hold with a C$10.50 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Cineplex stock, see the TSE:CGX Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on TSE:CGX Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, TSE:CGX is a Neutral.

Cineplex’s overall stock score reflects significant financial and technical challenges. The company’s high leverage and negative profitability metrics weigh heavily on its financial performance score. Technical analysis indicates bearish momentum, further impacting the score. Valuation concerns, with a negative P/E ratio, also contribute to the low score. While the earnings call provided some positive insights, such as growth in premium experiences, these are not enough to offset the broader challenges.
