To be fair, stock prices are built on dreams and hype. Ever since the dot com craze and online trading came about, anything can be valued at high prices and market caps.Sorry but what are you talking about? Look here:
AMC | AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc. Cl A Annual Cash Flow Statement | MarketWatch
AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc. Cl A Annual cash flow by MarketWatch. View AMC net cash flow, operating cash flow, operating expenses and cash dividends.www.marketwatch.com
AMC's highest earnings report in the last 5 years in terms of annual income was 2016 (111.67M), not 2018 (110.1M).
The only reason 2018 looked "good" (a 122.6% gain year on year) was because their 2017 was abysmal.
They were a dying company, long before the pandemic. Look at their 2019 pre-pandemic figures - a loss of 149M.
Look at their free cash flow for the last 5 years:
In what world is that a company worth $25 a share? 25$ a share puts them at an 11B market cap. A company that has an average net free cash flow in the negative billions for the last 5 years is worth a 11B market cap? In what world? Even if you take the pandemic year out of the equation they are still -71.66M.
I don't understand your logic here.
There's endless numbers of bio tech companies with nothing but some shitty phase 1 testing losing $100Ms a year, yet still have market caps in the billions. Even if they got lucky and got a drug a approved, it might be 5 years from now. But until then, it's tons of costs and $0 sales.
