Omar Mejias’s rating is based on a combination of factors that suggest a positive outlook for Cinemark Holdings despite some short-term challenges. While the second quarter estimates have been lowered due to weaker domestic box office performance and challenges in the Latin American market, Mejias remains optimistic about the company’s prospects for the second half of the year. This optimism is fueled by a strong lineup of films expected to perform well in the fourth quarter, which could bolster Cinemark’s overall performance.
Furthermore, Mejias notes that while the second quarter faced some setbacks, the company ended on a strong note with successful performances from certain films, which are expected to carry over positively into the third quarter. Additionally, upcoming releases like Superman are anticipated to perform above expectations, potentially offsetting any weaknesses from other films. Despite some adjustments to revenue and EBITDA estimates for the coming quarters and fiscal year 2026, Mejias believes that Cinemark’s ability to maintain market share, manage costs, and prioritize capital deployment will support its growth trajectory, justifying the Buy rating.
According to TipRanks, Mejias is a 3-star analyst with an average return of 14.8% and an 87.50% success rate. Mejias covers the Communication Services sector, focusing on stocks such as Cinemark Holdings, IMAX, and Warner Music Group.
