National CineMedia (NCMI) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
National CineMedia Inc. is poised for positive growth, with industry projections indicating a recovery in the cinema sector anticipated in 2025 and 2026, driven by an appealing lineup of blockbuster films that could enhance both viewer impressions and advertising revenue. The North American box office is expected to see a minimum 7% increase in 2025, alongside significant double-digit growth anticipated during the latter half of the year, indicating rising attendance that could boost advertiser bookings for NCM's premium advertising solutions. Furthermore, NCM's strengthened targeting capabilities and improved ad servicing for local campaigns position the company favorably for gaining market share, complemented by increased advertiser demand and the long-term growth potential supported by an evolving digital advertising landscape.
Bears say
National CineMedia Inc. reported Q4 2024 revenue of $86 million, reflecting a 5.1% decline year-over-year, and a drop in AOIBDA to $35 million from $40 million in the previous year, attributed to an unfavorable film slate and overperformance in the prior year driven by a notable event. Forward-looking indicators signal challenges for Q1 2025, including lower box office content, seasonal weakness in advertising demand, and ongoing reductions in ad spending due to government and tariff-related factors, all contributing to a negative outlook. Additionally, potential declines in theater attendance and increased competition within the cinema advertising sector could further dampen revenues and the overall attractiveness of their advertising platform.
