AMC did see a small boost last week when it reported some preliminary results for the fourth quarter of 2021. While the official results aren’t expected until sometime in March, the early figures did manage to beat analyst’s early expectations. AMC reported revenues of $1.17 billion for the quarter compared to analyst estimates of $1.09 billion, while adjusted EBITDA nearly doubled expectations. AMC also announced a new debt refinancing plan where it secured $950 million to help buy them some time in paying back the principle of their loans. Despite these two positive notes, shares of AMC still erased it’s gains from last week and extended its recent downtrend.
