$CNK quick value:
1) #3 movie theater operator in North America w/ 15% market share
2) theaters clobbered during COVID and again from 2023 hollywood strikes -- industry box office sales ~76% of pre-COVID levels
3) business model has 2 components: 1) ticket sales shared w/ studios = 43-45% product margins; and 2) concession sales = 80%+ margins
4) despite industry headwinds, 2025 sales are ~96% of 2019 level (entirely via ticket pricing & concessions)
5) Movie Club loyalty members at 1.45m paying $10.99/month+ and growing >10% = largest paid member base among theaters and drive 30% of ticket sales
6) capital allocation -- favored dividends pre-2020, then eliminated during COVID -- repaid COVID debt 2021-2024, buybacks + dividend initiated in 2025
7) 2026 expected to have a robust box office year (estimates +10%ish) -- stock trading at 10% FCF yield (trailing)
Glossed over the WBD/NFLX drama... CNK was trading at $30+ in Nov 2025 and now sits at $23, some of that from fears of NFLX impact on theatrical release
Stock looks cheap and has a nice inflection story heading into 2026
