At AMC Networks Inc (AMCX), It’s All Breaking Good

Echoing the Fool’s Beyers, Barclays analysts are looking forward to the rest of the year, telling investors, “We are modeling 15% Y/Y growth for the full year as we would not be surprised to see Walking Dead draw record viewership numbers yet again when it returns in October.”

Beyond October, AMC’s success on Wall Street will hinge on its ability to come up with more dynamic hit shows. The good news for AMC in this area is that it has achieved what every network longs to do: create a positive buzz among its viewers. It’s as if the public and the influential television critics, thrilled with Mad Men, Breaking Bad, and Walking Dead, are quite willing to give AMC the benefit of the doubt when it rolls out a new series.

AMC must focus on keeping the costs related to developing new series under control, to keep Wall Street on its side.

As long as the hits keep on coming, it’s all breaking good now for AMC.
