Our note on each quarter Cinemark Holdings files

10-Q filed November 3: Cinemark

Model value −6.7%

Cinemark's revenue for the twelve months to September 2026 reached $3.56bn, a 13.1% rise on the year before and a marked acceleration from the 4.5% growth recorded a quarter earlier. Profitability also improved: free-cash-flow margin climbed to 5.3% from -29.5%, while the operating margin widened to -2.1% from -52.5%. Meanwhile, the diluted share count fell 10.1% year on year, concentrating value among fewer remaining shares. Despite these gains, our model value has slipped, moving from $68.40 to $63.83 a share. That figure still sits well above the current share price of $38.75, suggesting the market has yet to reflect the operational progress underway at the cinema chain.

Highlights

How we pick these

Strengths

  • Growth speeding up. The growth rate is 8.5 points higher than a quarter earlier.
  • Margins widening. Operating margin is up 50.3 points on a year ago.
  • Shrinking share count. Diluted shares fell 10.1% in a year, so each share owns more of the business.
  • Estimates rising. Analysts' consensus for next year's earnings per share has risen 5.5% over 90 days.

Things to watch

  • Loss-making. Operating margin is -2.1%: costs exceed revenue.
  • Weak cash conversion. Free cash flow was 46% of net income over the last 12 months.
  • Heavily shorted. 11.1% of the shares available to trade are sold short (3.8 days of average volume to cover).
  • Missing expectations. Earnings per share fell short of the consensus estimate in 2 of the last four quarters.

Valuation

Cinemark Holdings, Inc. valuation models and calculator

Fundamentalytics rating

model v1.6 · 2026-11-03

Not rated: valued with our growth model, which doesn't carry a Buy/Hold/Sell rating yet.

Valuation models

We value Cinemark Holdings, Inc. as an operating company, with every model that fits that kind of business. Cost of equity 7.9%: the 10-year Treasury yield (4.9%) plus a beta of 0.66 times a 4.5% equity risk premium.

Value per share by model
Model Value per share In the combined value?
Growth cash-flow model Revenue for this year and next from analysts' consensus, then growth fading to 2.5%; the operating margin moving to profitable peers'; investment needed per dollar of growth from peers; reduced by a failure probability. For young or fast-growing companies. The starting margin is normalized to between -100% and 60%; net margin is a proxy when operating income is not tagged. Uses analysts' consensus estimates (third-party data), not our forecasts. — Does not apply: the projected cash flows don't support a positive value
Forward price-to-earnings vs peers Next year's consensus earnings per share times peers' typical (harmonic-mean) forward price-to-earnings. Uses analysts' consensus estimates (third-party data), not our forecasts. ~$64 ~$45–$110 Included
Residual income Book value plus the present value of returns above the cost of equity, fading over ten years. — Does not apply: book value or earnings not available
Justified price-to-book Book value times (return on equity - growth) / (cost of equity - growth): steady-state returns. — Does not apply: return on equity is not positive
Forward price-to-sales vs peers Next year's consensus sales per share times peers' typical forward price-to-sales; only when earnings are negative. Uses analysts' consensus estimates (third-party data), not our forecasts. — Does not apply: earnings are positive: price-to-earnings is the better measure
Revenue-to-maturity model Revenue grown to maturity with the cash margin moving to the industry's; for companies not yet profitable. — Does not apply: revenue and margins don't support a positive value
Combined value Weighted average of the models that apply: the primary model (growth cash-flow model) counts double. Models more than 5x or less than 0.2x the share price, or more than 3x away from the other models' median, are left out. ~$64 ~$45–$110 1 model

Different models fail in different ways, so where several apply we average them rather than trust one. Peer-based models compare Cinemark Holdings, Inc. with Movies & Entertainment in our coverage, using third-party market data.

Moat

35 /100

Weak moat

How hard Cinemark Holdings's competitive advantage looks for rivals to wear away, judged from 10 years of its own filings: returns on capital, pricing power, profit durability, cash conversion and discipline.

  • Returns on capital 3 / 20

    Net income has been a median 3.4% of total assets over 6 years.

  • Durability 3 / 20

    Operating margin has been a median 13.5%; its worst year was -52.5%.

  • Cash conversion 10 / 20

    Free cash flow was positive in 8 of 10 years, at a median 4.8% of revenue.

  • Discipline 15 / 20

    The diluted share count rose 5.1% over five years; stock-based pay has been a median 0.8% of revenue.

AI disruption exposure: Medium. In this industry, AI could change how the product is made or sold, without replacing the core asset. The score above includes a 5-point deduction for that exposure (40 before it).

A rules-based reading of reported figures, not a forecast and not investment advice. How the score is built: methodology.

Free cash flow is cash from operations minus capital spending. Growth is left blank when last year's figure was a loss or under 2% of revenue. Share counts and EPS are restated for stock splits. A dash means the company didn't report the figure.
