On CAPS, 8.9% of the 1,020 members who have rated IMAX believe the stock will underperform the S&P 500 going forward. These bears include All-Star mdemag, who is ranked in the top 10% of our community, and minnjim1.

Earlier this month, mdemag chucked a few tomatoes at IMAX's financials:

It's a great product; but horrible margins, fluctuating earnings based on the whim of kid's interests, and negative book value. Too many things have to change to justify over $9/share (sustained revenue growth, order of magnitude increase in margins, extra cash). IMAX has a lot of potential, but it's too dangerous right now.

In an earlier pitch, minnjim1 also tapped IMAX as a must-miss stock:

Irrational exuberance has sent the price of IMAX stock up way too high for its fundamentals. Negative profit margin, operating margin, return on assets, net income, even EBITDA and book value are negative. These are not signs of a healthy business.

As for the new theaters and movie deals, the fact is that there are very few IMAX theaters. The new theaters that everyone is gushing about are not really IMAX theaters, they are existing standard-size movie theaters with their screens enlarged slightly, because you can't fit a real IMAX screen into a standard movie theater.
