What the numbers say
CleaRank Financial AI's reading of AMC's valuation, growth and risks.
AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. (AMC) has no meaningful P/E, not meaningful, because the company lost money over the last 12 months.

AMC is loss-making, with a net margin of -10.59% and an operating margin of 14.90%. Revenue rose 14.20% in the latest year, which is 0.3 percentage points faster than the sector median of 13.9%. Return on equity stands at 33.38%, above the sector median of 15.8%. Our data reports no dividend.
EPS of $0.14 in the July 20, 2026 report beat the $0.03 analysts expected, a beat of 366.67%. Still, the share price dropped 10.57% in the first session after the report.

- The two nearest levels to watch are the 52-week high at $3.40 above the price and the 20-day EMA at $2.89 below it.
- The 14-day RSI is 52.2, in the neutral zone, and the MACD line is positive. Readings above 70 or below 30 signal stretched momentum.
- The share price fell 10.57% in the first session after the July 20, 2026 report, even though AMC beat estimates in 3 of the last 3 reports.
AMC is trading above its 50-day and 200-day moving averages ($2.71 and $1.90), at $2.71 and $1.90, and that positioning is why the trend reads up. Slipping below the 50-day would be the first sign of weakness. The nearest support under the price is the 20-day EMA, at $2.89.
The next level overhead is the 52-week high at $3.40. The 14-day RSI of 52.2 is in the neutral zone, between 40 and 60.
