Cineworld Group plc was founded in 1995 and is now one of the leading cinema groups in Europe. Originally a private company, it re-registered as a public company in May 2006 and listed on the London Stock Exchange in May 2007. Currently, Cineworld Group plc is the only quoted UK cinema business.
In December 2012, the Group acquired the Picturehouse chain of cinemas consisting of 21 cinemas, and in February 2014, the combination with Cinema City completed, creating the second largest cinema business in Europe (by number of screens). The enlarged Group now has 217 sites and a total of 2,000 fully digital screens. Our portfolio includes four out of the ten highest grossing cinemas in the UK and Ireland. We pride ourselves on outstanding picture quality and atmospheric surround sound; the soft, deep-down comfort of our modern seating; the crunch of our popcorn; and, most importantly, the friendliest customer service around. All our sites are digital, and we are one of the market leaders in 3D, a format which will become increasingly important.
In 2014, Cineworld accounted for 82.9 million admissions, had revenues of £619.4 million and an Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) before exceptional items of £126.6 million.

Might help if we actually knew date of pending results dc :0)

Just had a look thinking that there may of been an update, wrong.

Interim Management Statement

Overall, on a pro forma basis, trading for the Group for the 46 week period has been in line with our expectations. Although admissions have decreased by 0.9%, mainly due to the phasing of film releases in the UK, box office revenues have increased by 0.7% driven by admission growth in CEE & Israel and a stronger average ticket price during the period across the Group. Retail revenues increased by 2.3%. Other Income includes screen advertising, sponsorship and film distribution income and increased by 1.4% benefiting from solid advertising revenues, particularly in the UK & Ireland. This was offset by a decline in Other Income in CEE & Israel which was attributable to the phasing of distribution income, which this year is heavily weighted to the films at the end of the year, excluding which Other Income in the region increased by 2.8%.

Looking ahead to the full year, the film line up for the remainder of Q4 is promising with strong box office performances expected from "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1" and "The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies". The releases in the remainder of Q4 are comparable with the prior year. In light of this and our trading performance to date, the Board remains confident of delivering results in line with market expectations for the full year.

Cineworld Trading Update, its good news
By Tom Winnifrith & Steve Moore | Saturday 22 November 2014

I am not receiving compensation for it (other than from ShareProphets). I have no business relationship with any company whose stock is mentioned in this article.

Cineworld Group (CINE) has updated on trading for the 46 weeks ended 13th November 2014 “in line with our expectations” and “remains confident of delivering results in line with market expectations for the full year”. Good News.

Despite a 0.9% decrease in admissions (noted to be “mainly due to the phasing of film releases in the UK”), a stronger average ticket price helped total box office revenues up by 0.7%, whilst retail revenues increased by 2.3% and ‘other income’ (“benefiting from solid advertising revenues”) increased by 1.4%. Pro-forma total group revenue is reported at +1.1%, with the remainder of Q4 noted to be“promising with strong box office performances expected from ‘The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1’ and ‘The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies’”.

With a film schedule in 2015 and 2016 which looks much stronger, brokerage Peel Hunt considers that “the market could well be surprised at just how strong the bounceback is in 2015” and fellow brokerage Numis also considers forecasts “based on assumptions that could be upgraded” – noting this along with “forecasts of 19% earnings growth in 2015E and 12% in 2016E, aided by £5m of acquisition synergies (which could be beaten) and strong self-financed expansion (over 300 new screens during 2015E and 2016E)” as “the case for buying Cineworld shares”.

Its current forecasts are for earnings per share of more than 21p and a dividend per share of 10.6p for the current year, to respectively rise to 25p and 11.4p next year and towards 28p and more than 12p for 2016. These compare to a current circa 350p share price and see us continue to target 400p here. As such, we are well ahead on this tip but are happy to maintain faith in this in the Nifty Fifty Income portfolio at current levels – here is another 50p of upside before we check out of these shares.

Stop to 375p

Signal Update

Our system’s recommendation today is to STAY LONG. The previous BUY signal was issued on 06/11/2014, 29 days ago, when the stock price was 331.0400. Since then CINE.L has risen by +20.08%.

Market Outlook

The bulls are in full control. The negative sentiment that led to the last bearish pattern has evaporated. Besides, the signal is suggesting to STAY LONG. It is best to follow the signal and continue to hold this security.

This has been a stonking trade for me and yourself DC, long may it continue :0)

Greidinger brothers buying volume told us it would rise. Merry Christmas Chris.

Merry Christmas dc :0)

Stop to 400p

A buy in this weeks IC. But the UK is not Cineworld's answer to future growth nor is the reason for such bullish broker forcasts .

Bull points

Strong growth forecast for 2015
significant director buying
blockbuster film releases in Q4
growth prospects in eastern Europe

Bear points

tough summer trading
currency risk

More than 500 screens are due to open in the next three years, the vast majority of which will be in Romania and Poland, which accounts for a third of CCI's sales.

If Cineworld delivers on brokers expectations , 15 times investec's 2015 underlying EPS forecasts looks an inexpensive price to pay.
