And now one of the most prominent ones,<b>AMC</b>(NYSE:<b><u>AMC</u></b>), is in trouble yet again. In aninterviewwith social-media finance commentator Trey Collins, CEO Adam Aron said short sellers are encircling AMC stock.</p>\n<p>This marks yet another twist in a gripping story that continues to add chapters with every passing day. For all intents and purposes, the movie-theater chain was staring down the barrel when<b>Reddit</b>investors rescued the company from the depths of bankruptcy.</p>\n<p>Since that time, it has chosen to make hay while the sun shines, raising a substantial amount of cash through equity issues. However, even before the novel coronavirus pandemic struck, AMC was suffering.</p>\n<p>That’s because there has been a substantial shift in how Americans watch movies. Box office sales reached their high in 2002 at1.58 billion tickets, eventually dropping 22% to 1.23 billion tickets by 2019. Simultaneously, we saw an increasing shift towards home viewing, helped greatly by the emergence of streaming companies.</p>\n<p>And then Covid-19 hit the industry like a ton of bricks.</p>\n<p>Movie-theater chains<b>Arclight Cinemas</b>and<b>Pacific Theaters</b>have alreadyshuttered their doorspermanently. Others are massively restructuring their operations to survive this crisis.</p>\n<p>Hence, it’s understandable why Aron praised retail investors in his recent discussion — the subreddit r/WallStreetBets essentially bailed out the company, punishing short sellers in the process. But financial realities will eventually push the stock close to its 52-week low of $1.91 per share. I’m afraid the show’s over for AMC stock.</p>\n<p><b>Share Dilution Will Continue to Hurt AMC Stock</b></p>\n<p>AMC is paying the price of survival and it’s a steep one. At the end of 2019, AMC had nearly 104 million shares. As I write this, the movie-chain operator now has some 450 million shares. That’s about a 333% rise in a year.</p>\n<p>Now, I get it. AMC needs money to survive this pandemic and beyond. Movie theaters will need several business cycles to get back on their feet.</p>\n<p>True,about 25% of the U.S. populationhas been fully vaccinated as of today. However, it will take time for movie-ticket sales to return to pre-pandemic levels. In the meantime, AMC still needs money to survive.</p>\n<p>As such, on May 4, the company is set to host its annual meeting and ask stockholders to greenlight the issue of another 500 million new shares. Aron has said that AMC will not issue any new stock this year, an announcement that pushed shares up 9%.</p>\n<p>Nevertheless, the writing is on the wall. If you remain committed to AMC stock, dilution is something that you will have to bear for the foreseeable future.</p>\n<p><b>Fundamentals Have Been Sliding For a While</b></p>\n<p>Although the pandemic has devastated movie-theater chains, the slowdown in ticket sales is a secular trend, as we touched upon earlier. In fiscal 2019, the movie-theater chain reported a net loss of $13.5 million, compared to net income of $170.6 million in the year-before quarter. Bear in mind that these figures are from before the pandemic.</p>\n<p>On top of that, out of the last eight quarters,the company has reported an earnings beat just onceaccording to&nbsp;<i>CNBC</i>data. Meanwhile, operating costs are ballooning. As my colleague Vandita Jadejahighlighted in her recent AMC piece, despite the top-line falling by over 75%, operating costs did not fall by as much.</p>\n<p>This all leaves the company vulnerable to further dilution and expensive debt raises. It’s a clear red flag for AMC stock investors that are looking for management to take more of a proactive approach with this crisis.</p>\n<p><b>Evolution Has Just Passed You By</b></p>\n<p>Even if AMC survives this crisis — which by most measures it should — it still operates a largely outdated business model.</p>\n<p>Streaming is all the rage these days.<b>Netflix</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>NFLX</u></b>),<b>Amazon</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>AMZN</u></b>),<b>Disney</b>(NYSE:<b><u>DIS</u></b>) and<b>AT&amp;T</b>(NYSE:<b><u>T</u></b>) are firmly entrenched in the streaming wars, pouring billions into original content. As of Q4 2020, Netflix is in first place withover 200 million paid subscribersworldwide, but others are catching up as well and using some pretty innovative techniques.</p>\n<p>Late last year, Warner Bros. announced it woulddebut all of its 2021 movies in theaters and on HBO Max simultaneouslyin the United States. Meanwhile, Netflix is set to release a new movie every week in 2021.</p>\n<p>Against this backdrop, AMC and other movie-theater chains are left to fend for themselves as streaming companies compete for attention.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/72e23fe7ed32e5b689a35813204c6b0d\" tg-width=\"908\" tg-height=\"376\">And even if these announcements did not take place, the writing has been on the wall for a while. Its pretty evident when you pit AMC stock’s performance against the<b>S&amp;P 500</b>that the company has been fighting a losing battle.</p>\n<p><b>Final Words on AMC</b></p>\n<p>I get the feeling that AMC is on its greatest-hits tour. Yes, you might want to invest in AMC stock out of a sense of nostalgia.

And now one of the most prominent ones,AMC(NYSE:AMC), is in trouble yet again. In aninterviewwith social-media finance commentator Trey Collins, CEO Adam Aron said short sellers are encircling AMC stock.\nThis marks yet another twist in a gripping story that continues to add chapters with every passing day. For all intents and purposes, the movie-theater chain was staring down the barrel whenRedditinvestors rescued the company from the depths of bankruptcy.\nSince that time, it has chosen to make hay while the sun shines, raising a substantial amount of cash through equity issues. However, even before the novel coronavirus pandemic struck, AMC was suffering.\nThat’s because there has been a substantial shift in how Americans watch movies. Box office sales reached their high in 2002 at1.58 billion tickets, eventually dropping 22% to 1.23 billion tickets by 2019. Simultaneously, we saw an increasing shift towards home viewing, helped greatly by the emergence of streaming companies.\nAnd then Covid-19 hit the industry like a ton of bricks.\nMovie-theater chainsArclight CinemasandPacific Theatershave alreadyshuttered their doorspermanently. Others are massively restructuring their operations to survive this crisis.\nHence, it’s understandable why Aron praised retail investors in his recent discussion — the subreddit r/WallStreetBets essentially bailed out the company, punishing short sellers in the process. But financial realities will eventually push the stock close to its 52-week low of $1.91 per share. I’m afraid the show’s over for AMC stock.\nShare Dilution Will Continue to Hurt AMC Stock\nAMC is paying the price of survival and it’s a steep one. At the end of 2019, AMC had nearly 104 million shares. As I write this, the movie-chain operator now has some 450 million shares. That’s about a 333% rise in a year.\nNow, I get it. AMC needs money to survive this pandemic and beyond. Movie theaters will need several business cycles to get back on their feet.\nTrue,about 25% of the U.S. populationhas been fully vaccinated as of today. However, it will take time for movie-ticket sales to return to pre-pandemic levels. In the meantime, AMC still needs money to survive.\nAs such, on May 4, the company is set to host its annual meeting and ask stockholders to greenlight the issue of another 500 million new shares. Aron has said that AMC will not issue any new stock this year, an announcement that pushed shares up 9%.\nNevertheless, the writing is on the wall. If you remain committed to AMC stock, dilution is something that you will have to bear for the foreseeable future.\nFundamentals Have Been Sliding For a While\nAlthough the pandemic has devastated movie-theater chains, the slowdown in ticket sales is a secular trend, as we touched upon earlier. In fiscal 2019, the movie-theater chain reported a net loss of $13.5 million, compared to net income of $170.6 million in the year-before quarter. Bear in mind that these figures are from before the pandemic.\nOn top of that, out of the last eight quarters,the company has reported an earnings beat just onceaccording to CNBCdata. Meanwhile, operating costs are ballooning. As my colleague Vandita Jadejahighlighted in her recent AMC piece, despite the top-line falling by over 75%, operating costs did not fall by as much.\nThis all leaves the company vulnerable to further dilution and expensive debt raises. It’s a clear red flag for AMC stock investors that are looking for management to take more of a proactive approach with this crisis.\nEvolution Has Just Passed You By\nEven if AMC survives this crisis — which by most measures it should — it still operates a largely outdated business model.\nStreaming is all the rage these days.Netflix(NASDAQ:NFLX),Amazon(NASDAQ:AMZN),Disney(NYSE:DIS) andAT&T(NYSE:T) are firmly entrenched in the streaming wars, pouring billions into original content. As of Q4 2020, Netflix is in first place withover 200 million paid subscribersworldwide, but others are catching up as well and using some pretty innovative techniques.\nLate last year, Warner Bros. announced it woulddebut all of its 2021 movies in theaters and on HBO Max simultaneouslyin the United States. Meanwhile, Netflix is set to release a new movie every week in 2021.\nAgainst this backdrop, AMC and other movie-theater chains are left to fend for themselves as streaming companies compete for attention.\nAnd even if these announcements did not take place, the writing has been on the wall for a while. Its pretty evident when you pit AMC stock’s performance against theS&P 500that the company has been fighting a losing battle.\nFinal Words on AMC\nI get the feeling that AMC is on its greatest-hits tour. Yes, you might want to invest in AMC stock out of a sense of nostalgia. But in my opinion, the company’s best days are behind it.\nLooking ahead, 5G, artificial intelligence, data analytics and the Internet of Things (IoT) are some of the subjects you need to get behind instead. These areas will be the biggest source of future growth and profitability moving forward.\nBasically, the credits are beginning to roll for AMC.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":549,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":371036141,"gmtCreate":1618890855283,"gmtModify":1631884329468,"author":{"id":"3581743025693862","authorId":"3581743025693862","name":"19c4915a","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581743025693862","authorIdStr":"3581743025693862"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Hope for the best&nbsp;","listText":"Hope for the best&nbsp;","text":"Hope for the best","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/371036141","repostId":"2128689062","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":519,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":371038598,"gmtCreate":1618890810414,"gmtModify":1631884329471,"author":{"id":"3581743025693862","authorId":"3581743025693862","name":"19c4915a","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581743025693862","authorIdStr":"3581743025693862"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Hope for the better&nbsp;","listText":"Hope for the better&nbsp;","text":"Hope for the better","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/371038598","repostId":"2128689062","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":484,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":379937480,"gmtCreate":1618650549240,"gmtModify":1634291537250,"author":{"id":"3581743025693862","authorId":"3581743025693862","name":"19c4915a","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581743025693862","authorIdStr":"3581743025693862"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Looking forward&nbsp;","listText":"Looking forward&nbsp;","text":"Looking forward","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/379937480","repostId":"1179330583","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1179330583","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1618588042,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1179330583?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-04-16 23:47","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Airbnb CEO says company is going to need millions more hosts to meet surging demand","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1179330583","media":"cnbc","summary":"KEY POINTS\n\nAirbnb is going to need millions of new hosts to meet incoming demand as travel picks up","content":"<div>\n<p>KEY POINTS\n\nAirbnb is going to need millions of new hosts to meet incoming demand as travel picks up again, CEO Brian Chesky told CNBC.\n\"To meet the demand over the coming years, we're going to need ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.cnbc.com/2021/04/16/airbnb-ceo-says-company-is-going-to-need-millions-more-hosts-to-meet-demand.html\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n","source":"cnbc_highlight","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

But for Airbnb, which relies on people to open their homes to guests, the company will need to ramp up its number of hosts instead of building out more real estate or adding flights to meet demand.\nIt’s a similar problem faced by other companies in the gig economy likeUber, which recently announced a$250 million stimulusin an effort to bring more drivers to its platform.\n“As vaccination rates increase in the United States, we are observing that consumer demand for Mobility is recovering faster than driver availability, and consumer demand for Delivery continues to exceed courier availability,”Uber saidin a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.\nChesky said Airbnb isn’t likely to offer “a lot of incentives” to bring new hosts on board since there’s already a huge amount of demand for service.\n“I think that all we have to do is just continue to tell our story of Airbnb, and the benefits of hosting. And we are seeing a lot of interest,” he said.\nAs part of that, Chesky said the company has done things like launch its “made possible by hosts” ad campaign. The company rolled out a number of advertisements using photographs from Airbnb guests staying in homes around the world, in an effort to create a sense of nostalgia.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":449,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"defaultTab":"posts","isTTM":false}
