Cinemark Holdings Inc (NYSE:CNK) reported its second-quarter 2025 earnings, missing analyst expectations on both revenue and earnings per share (EPS). The company posted revenue of $940.5 million, falling short of the consensus estimate of $952.4 million. Adjusted EPS came in at $0.63, below the projected $0.74.
Key Takeaways from the Earnings Report
- Revenue Miss: The $940.5 million in revenue represents a 1.2% shortfall compared to analyst expectations, signaling weaker-than-anticipated box office performance or concessions sales.
- EPS Below Estimates: The $0.63 EPS was 14.7% lower than the $0.74 forecast, reflecting margin pressures or higher operating costs.
- Market Reaction: In pre-market trading, shares declined by approximately 0.6%, extending a negative trend that has seen the stock drop 7.3% over the past week and 10.4% over the last two weeks.
Performance Context
Cinemark’s underperformance follows a broader slump in the stock over the past month, with shares down nearly 11%. The immediate pre-market dip suggests investor disappointment, particularly given the EPS miss, which may raise concerns about profitability trends.
Looking Ahead
Analysts expect third-quarter revenue of $914.3 million and EPS of $0.62, while full-year 2025 projections stand at $3.33 billion in sales and $1.73 in EPS. The company did not provide explicit guidance in its press release, leaving investors to rely on external estimates.
