Analysis

Middle-of-the-road

Cineplex Inc. is a middle-of-the-road business: neither the economics nor the price stand out from the peer group.

The price is expensive. You pay 35.4× its owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year, which is in the historically expensive zone.

The trajectory is solid and the balance sheet is stretched. The company scores 6/20 on our value-creation score: not creating value.

What to watch: Some accounting patterns deserve a closer look. As always: this describes the company's numbers; it is not a recommendation.
