Mittleman Investment Management, in their Q4 2020 Investor Letter, said that AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: AMC) was a detractor for their portfolio in the fourth quarter of 2020. AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. is a movie theater chain that currently has a $1.8 billion market cap. For the past 3 months, AMC delivered an impressive 88.22% return and settled at $5.59 per share at the closing of February 12th.
Here is what Mittleman Investment Management has to say about AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. in their Q4 2020 investor letter:
“AMC Entertainment (AMC) was our only material loser in Q4, dropping from $4.71 to $2.12 (-55%). I planned on discussing here why it was worth at least the $10 per share that my recently reduced estimate of fair value claimed, but since then AMC raised more cash against their UK holdings and then the stock took off due to speculative players from reddit.com getting involved, so we sold it all around $14 during the last week of Jan. 2021. This was a modest profit for most clients, but a loss for some others, depending on when the account began, so check your statements to see where you came out. And yes, I recognize it as being a dose of good luck, which I heartily accept from the universe as it seemed somewhat lacking in the portfolio of late. After the sale of AMC in late January 2021, our exposure to the movie theater business is now exclusively in Canada via Cineplex, which has a 75% market share and much less leverage on its balance sheet.”
