AMC Networks price target raised to $10 from $8 at Wells Fargo

Wells Fargo raised the firm’s price target on AMC Networks (AMCX) to $10 from $8 and keeps an Equal Weight rating on the shares. The firm says AMC will see 2026 adjusted operating income declining by a percentage in the mid- to high-teens year-over-year, with free cash flow keeping leverage flat. While the operational puts/takes limit equity upside, “The Walking Dead” rights come back by year-end 2026 and will likely be resold for a $2/share windfall in early 2027.
