| HOLD | 15.700 | Jason Donville | ROE is improving. Had a phenomenal run over the last 18 months. It is still a bit rich. Get it in the $12-13. | 2010-06-29 | |
| BUY on WEAKNESS | 17.090 | Hap (Robert) Sneddon FCSI | No-brainer, looking back on it. The stability of revenue from movies is very good. There is a head and shoulders around beginning of May and it may be a warning. | 2010-06-04 | |
| DON'T BUY | 10.150 | Gavin Graham | Selling systems is a very lumpy business. Getting competition. Near the top end of its trading range. | 2009-08-25 | |
| PAST TOP SHORT | 5.400 | Jeff Parent | (A Top Short Dec 14/07. Up 20%.) Like it as DreamWorks (DWA-N) are going to start doing all animation in 3-D. Will probably pull back to $4.50-$5 so if you can pick it up under $5, it's a good deal. | 2009-01-05 | |
| PAST TOP SHORT | 6.760 | Jeff Parent | (A Top Short Dec 14/07. Up 2%.) The call was, if it traded above $7 he would reduce his position. Didn't trade about this for a very long so he kept his position. Still shorting. | 2008-05-02 | |
| SELL | 6.560 | Peter Hodson | Been a high maintenance name for years. If you can handle the maintenance hold, otherwise get out. | 2008-03-17 | |
| TOP SHORT | 6.720 | Jeff Parent | Had some very positive news of the building of 100 theatres and it broke out of a consolidation. That would normally be a point to Buy. Fundamentally the story hasn't changed that much as it is longer-term story that will develop over the next 5 years. He is Shorting with a very strict price discipline on it. If it rises above $7 he'll probably reduce his position or cover his Short. He is looking for a move down to the $5 range. | 2007-12-14 | |
| Comment | 5.600 | Ben Stadelmann | A definite contrarian pick. Had some issues with accounting. He likes assets and book value, but this company has negative. Leaders in their field. Seem to be making progress into Hollywood type movies. He'll watch this one closely. | 2007-04-20 | |
| DON'T BUY | 3.960 | Robert Floyd | Numbers were extremely disappointing. Didn’t sell any screens in the last quarter. Looking to sell a few screens in the next quarter. | 2006-11-13 | |
| DON'T BUY | 6.300 | Robert McWhirter | Had bought this when they went up for sale by the sale does not look promising at this point. Ranked 488 in his model. | 2006-08-15 | |
| PAST TOP PICK | 13.380 | Robert McWhirter | (A Top Pick Apr 14/05. Up 12%.) Continues to rank well (in the top 24%)in his model. Now doing large screen presentations of first run movies. | 2005-07-21 | |
| WATCH | 13.000 | Jean-Francois Tardif | A very interesting product. Have new software making it easier for them to convert a normal movie into the Imax format. Stock is a little bit expensive here, but is watching it. | 2005-07-18 | |
| TOP PICK | 11.880 | Brian Acker, CA | Ranks in the top 3% in his database model. Estimates have been cranked up by 50% in the last 90 days. The real key is their announcement of a 4 theatre deal with the largest theatre operator in South Korea which makes 40 theatre deals in the last 6 months. Expecting to install 35 theatres this year. | 2005-04-14 | |
| WATCH | 12.550 | Bill Carrigan | Big spike and if you are nervous about the market and you own it, take the lowest low of 10 weeks ago and don't let it go below that. If you are a trader, take the low of 10 days ago and don't let it go below that. | 2005-03-15 | |
| BUY | 13.990 | Robert McWhirter | Their biggest holding in their fund. Have announced new agreements to open new theatres globally. Earnings are expected to grow from $0.31 in '04 to $0.40 which is a 28% earnings growth. $0.51 in '06. Sales growth is up 29%. | 2005-02-11 | |
| DON'T BUY | 8.600 | Danny Tomka | There has always been speculation that one of the big media firms would take them out. The business is capital intensive and very lumpy. Fundamentally not a great business. | 2004-11-09 | |
| WAIT | 8.030 | Michael Smedley | Out of this stock for the moment. Needs a new business plan. Own it personally | 2004-06-16 | |
| VAGUE | 6.730 | Benj Gallander | Doesn't follow this company any more. The movie sector is crazy. | 2004-04-19 | |
| BUY | 9.500 | Gavin Graham | Have come back. Looks very interesting. Have only 50 theaters in China and that could be a big growth area for them. | 2004-03-04 | |
