From what I can see, IMAX is building new theaters in China, meaning that there is rising demand for their products, and that's going to bring in income. Also, we see that there are several movies coming out that are going to help IMAX out quite a… More

Don't get me wrong here--I am extremely bullish on the future of 3-D IMAX as a Viagra to the long-suffered cinema industry; yet despite the recent strong blockbuster releases, signs have indicated that this is perhaps not the best time to own IMAX… More

I expect a upward trend with catalysts from both MI: Ghost Protocol and Nolan's ever growing obsession that will be evident in Dark Knight Rises.

We are looking at a consensus estimate of 80 cents a share for full year 2012. This is roughly a 220% increase in earnings over 2011 or 25 cents. I'm not in love with the negative cash flow from operations, but the operating income looks solid and they have no long term debt. I'll say IMAX earns .75 cents for 2012 and I'll give them a forward P/E of 40 times or a PEG of roughly 0.18 as opposed to the obscene PEG of 0.08 it trades at now. Im going to say the reason for this steep PEG discount is the true long term growth rate is probably closer to 50% when you look at the past 3 years of gross operating profit. If we substitute gross operating profit for earnings in the PEG equation, my PEG is more reasonable 40/50 or .80. Either way my target is $30.00 or 52% above the current price of $19.69 in the next 12 to 18 months.

From what I can see, IMAX is building new theaters in China, meaning that there is rising demand for their products, and that's going to bring in income. Also, we see that there are several movies coming out that are going to help IMAX out quite a bit. Let's not stop there, though, folks, I've also seen several reports that IMAX is overpriced. Then when you hear that, you think, is he crazy? I say that I'm not crazy. What these three things paired together mean is not falling into a bottomless pit, it's going up an endless escalator. Have fun with it people.
