AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc (NYSE:AMC) stock hit a new all-time low Tuesday at $1.64, even as the company reported its strongest pre-Christmas weekend since 2021. Here’s what investors need to know.

What To Know: The bearish price action sharply contrasts with operational wins driven by the opening of Avatar: Fire & Ash, which drew over 4 million guests and grossed a reported $88 million domestically. Premium formats were a key driver, with 3D screenings accounting for approximately 67% of admissions revenue.
While the market sentiment remains negative, billionaire Robert Citrone of Discovery Capital Management has taken a significant contrarian position. Citrone recently acquired roughly 32.75 million shares at an average price of $2.16, a distressed bet representing nearly 4% of his portfolio.

Financially, AMC recently executed a strategic pivot by selling the majority of its stake in Hycroft Mining Holding Co (NASDAQ:HYMC) netting $24.1 million in proceeds to reinvest in its core exhibition business. CEO Adam Aron has also returned to full-time duties following a minor stroke in November.
However, dilution risks loom. An amended note agreement allows for up to $150 million in stock offerings beginning in February 2026, likely contributing to the stock’s struggle to break resistance at the $2.00 level.
