Top 10 scores & list membership
AMC is not currently in any published Top 10 list. Its scores are below.
Top 10 score
Not scored for the top 10 list: no valuation data.
Scores as of 8 Oct 2026. Each bar is a percentile: how this company ranked against every company the score ranked, 0–100. A list is a published formula and its output, not a recommendation. Method version 4.
Dividend coverage
Not assessed — last reported dividend predates the accounts. The most recent fiscal year in which AMC reported a dividend payment is FY2022, while its reported financial statements run through FY2025. Coverage is therefore not assessed for the latest year — an FY2022 ratio would not describe AMC today.
Coverage is derived from reported SEC EDGAR XBRL figures, comparing dividends paid against net income and free cash flow for the SAME fiscal year. It is not shown here because the latest fiscal year with a reported dividend payment (FY2022) is older than the latest year of reported financial statements (FY2025), so any ratio would describe an out-of-date year.

How AMC ENTERTAINMENT HOLDINGS INC CLA looks technically
AMC ENTERTAINMENT HOLDINGS INC CLA (AMC) is trading 54.4% above its 200-day average, the long-term trend line — a longer-term uptrend. Its 50-day average crossed above its 200-day average about 62 trading days ago — a "golden cross", a bullish long-term signal. A strong uptrend is in place — ADX, a 0–100 trend-strength gauge, is 26, with buyers in control. Momentum is neutral — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 54, neither overbought (above 70) nor oversold (below 30). MACD, a trend-momentum gauge, turned bearish about 5 trading days ago (its momentum flipped negative). It made a new 20-day high about 9 trading days ago. It is 15.3% below its highest point of the past year.
Trend

| Distance from the 200-day | it is trading 54.4% above its 200-day average, the long-term trend line — a longer-term uptrend | +54.4% |
|---|---|---|
| 50-day moving average | its average price over the last 50 trading days — a short-term trend line — is $2.68 | $2.68 |
| 200-day moving average | its average price over the last 200 trading days — the long-term trend line — is $1.87 | $1.87 |
| Swing structure | each recent peak has been higher than the one before it and each dip has been shallower — the pattern chart-watchers call an uptrend, which describes where price has already been and not where it goes next | higher highs and higher lows |
| Last swing turn | its last significant turn was a swing high 10 calendar days ago — the swings before that are what the structure reading is measured on | 10 sessions |
| Wave structure | its recent swings can be read as a five-part upward sequence — what Elliott-wave chartists call an impulse — now in the fourth leg, a pullback against that upward direction; the labelling fails if price closes below 2.8. It is one of several labellings that fit, and it describes the swings already printed, not what comes next. The same swings also read as a completed three-part correction. | possible upward five-wave sequence, in wave 4 (one of several readings) |
| Since the 50/200 cross | its 50-day average crossed above its 200-day average about 62 trading days ago — a "golden cross", a bullish long-term signal | 62 sessions |

| 14-day RSI | momentum is neutral — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 54, neither overbought (above 70) nor oversold (below 30) | 53.8 |
|---|---|---|
| Position in its 14-day range | it is trading in the lower half of its 14-day range ($2.67 to $3.40) — its "stochastic" reading is 29 out of 100, where 0 would mean closing exactly at the 14-session low and 100 exactly at the high. This measures WHERE the price sits inside its recent range, which is a different question from the RSI beside it: RSI is a momentum gauge, measuring how FAST the price has been moving, so a stock can drift quietly to the bottom of its range with an ordinary RSI, or fall sharply and still sit in the middle. It has been slipping within that range over the last few sessions. | 28.8 |
| Since the MACD crossed zero | MACD, a trend-momentum gauge, turned bearish about 5 trading days ago (its momentum flipped negative) | 5 sessions |

| Given back of the 52-week move | over the past year its closes ranged ($0.95 to $3.29), and it has given back roughly a quarter of its rise from last year’s low — 18% of it. Chart-watchers call 61.8%-65% given back the "golden pocket" — for this company that is $1.77 to $1.84. It is watched widely enough that orders cluster there, which is the honest reason it matters; it is not a forecast. | 17.5% |
| From the all-time high | it is 99.6% below its all-time high | -99.6% |
| Nearest price level | it is trading 2.3% below a resistance level at $2.95 — a price it turned at four times since 2025-02-03, most recently on 2026-06-22. Since 2024-10-08 it has 4 such levels below the current price and 5 above. Levels like these describe where the price has reversed or paused before; they are not a forecast of where it will go. | +2.3% |
| All-time low | its lowest closing price on record is $0.93 (set on 2026-03-27) | $0.93 |
| Above the all-time low | it is 209.7% above its all-time low | +209.7% |
Volatility

| Band width vs its own 6 months | day-to-day price swings are narrower than usual versus its own recent 6-month history (tighter than about 79% of it) | 21st percentile |
|---|---|---|
| Typical daily range | in a typical session it travels about $0.1979 between its high and its low — about 6.9% of its price. That is its "average true range" over the last 14 sessions, which also counts the distance from the previous close, so a day that opens well away from yesterday counts as the large move it was | $0.1979 |
| Bollinger bands (20-day, ±2σ) | most of its recent trading has stayed between about $2.44 and $3.22 — the "Bollinger bands", a range drawn two standard deviations either side of its 20-day average price, which widens when the stock gets more volatile and narrows when it settles | $2.44 – $2.83 – $3.22 |
| Typical daily range (% of price) | its price moves about 6.9% in a typical session — more volatile than most companies we cover. This is the average gap between a session's high and low over the last 14 sessions, counting overnight moves, expressed against the current price so it can be compared with companies trading at any price | 6.9% |
| Stretch from the 200-day average | it is trading 5.1 daily ranges above its 200-day average price (54.4% above it in plain percentage terms) — a way of asking how far it has stretched from its own average in units of how far it normally moves in a day, so a calm company and a jumpy one can be compared on the same scale | 5.1 daily ranges above its 200-day average |

Price gaps
3
| Gap at the open | it opened on 2026-10-08 1.9% below the previous session's close — an overnight gap, the part of the move that happened while the market was shut, and traded back through that level before the close | -1.9% |
|---|---|---|
| Open gap | it gapped 2.1% above the previous close 19 sessions ago and has not traded back through the level it left behind at 2.36 — an "unfilled gap", which describes a price range no trade has since crossed and is not a forecast that it will be crossed | +2.1% |
| Gap filled | a 2.0% gap down opened on 2026-09-10 has been "filled" 20 sessions ago — price traded back through the level the gap left behind, and it closed again during the very session that opened it | 20 sessions ago |

Signal agreement
2
| Bullish technical signals | 5 of the 9 technical signals we can compute for it are currently in a bullish state: a "golden cross" — its 50-day average is above its 200-day, trading above its 200-day average, a strong uptrend, with buyers in control, outperforming the market over 6 months, trading above the Ichimoku cloud — these describe past price behaviour, not a forecast | 5 of 9 |
|---|---|---|
| Bearish technical signals | 1 of the 9 technical signals we can compute for it is currently in a bearish state: MACD momentum is negative — these describe past price behaviour, not a forecast | 1 of 9 |
Trend (Ichimoku cloud)
1
| Vs the Ichimoku cloud | trading 8.7% above the Ichimoku cloud — a band drawn from where its own highs and lows sat up to 2026-09-01 and projected forward over today's price, the side traders read as an established uptrend, with the band below acting as the level that would have to give way. The band itself is thick, spanning 11.6% of the share price, which is taken to mean a barrier that has held for a while and takes effort to cross. | +8.7% |
|---|
Volume-weighted price
2
| Vs this year’s average price paid | the price is 52% above the average price paid so far this year, so the typical buyer over that stretch is showing a gain. That average is $1.90 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 193 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | +51.6% |
|---|---|---|
| Vs the average paid since it last reported | the price is 9% above the average price paid since it last reported on 2026-07-20 (its 8-K), so the typical buyer over that stretch is showing a gain. That average is $2.64 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 58 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | +8.9% |

A level is a price this company reversed or paused at more than once — they describe past behaviour, not a forecast of where the price will go.
Wave structure
Its recent swings can be read as a five-part upward sequence — what Elliott-wave chartists call an impulse — now in leg 4 of five, a pullback against that direction.
This labelling fails — stops being a possible reading at all — if it closes below $2.80.
This is one of several labellings that fit the same swings, so treat it as a reading rather than the reading. It was chosen from 2 labellings that survived the rules, counting shorter readings of the same bars.
On past moves of this shape the leg has usually ended somewhere between $2.88 and $3.15 — that is where it has tended to end if the count holds, not a forecast of where the price goes.
Alternate reading: The same swings also read as a completed three-part correction, which fails on a close above $3.40.
This reading has stood for 3 trading days, since 2026-10-06.
Read from daily closes as of 2026-10-08.

Management's Discussion & Analysis (MD&A)
- Added:
- In the newer filing filed 2026-07-23, the risk bullet on motion picture production was expanded to specify that the financial burden imposed by tariffs may cause distributors to release fewer feature-length films, whereas the older filing filed 2026-05-05 described the tariff burden without that specific consequence.
- In the newer filing filed 2026-07-23, a new risk bullet was added regarding the potential impact on the business from consolidation among, or structural changes to, movie studios, distribution companies, or producers of other third-party media, including uncertainty from pending regulatory review, judicial proceedings, or injunctive relief.

- In the older filing filed 2026-05-05, a risk bullet was present regarding limitations on the ability to utilize interest expense deductions annually due to Section 163(j) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended by the One Big Beautiful Bill Act of 2025; this bullet is not present in the newer filing filed 2026-07-23.

- In the older filing filed 2026-05-05, the liquidity risk bullet stated that 'in order to achieve net positive cash flows from operating activities, revenues will need to increase from current levels to levels at least in line with pre-COVID-19 revenues.' In the newer filing filed 2026-07-23, this was revised to 'in order to achieve annual net positive cash flows from operating activities, revenues will need to be at least in line with pre-COVID-19 revenues,' removing the phrase 'increase from current levels to levels' and adding the word 'annual'.

AMC had 4.86% of its shares outstanding sold short as of the 2026-09-15 FINRA settlement date (percent of FLOAT would be higher — float is not disclosed in the source). FINRA reported 1.86 days to cover at the same settlement.

Reported to FINRA as of the 2026-09-15 settlement date. Short interest is reported to FINRA and published on a delayed, bi-monthly schedule (as of a settlement date, disseminated roughly eight business days later) — it is NOT real-time, does not cover every venue or all US trading, and is not a short-squeeze prediction or investment advice. Days-to-cover is the value FINRA reports; percent of float is not shown because the source file carries no share-count denominator — where a percent appears it is of shares OUTSTANDING, the larger base, and is therefore a floor on percent of float.
