# Cineplex, Inc. (CGX.TO) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-09-08. TSX, Canada. Sector: Communication Services / Entertainment. Price C$12.42, market value C$782 million.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): n/a** (negative earnings). Cineplex, Inc. reported negative earnings over the last twelve months, so the P/E is not meaningful; use price-to-sales, EV/EBITDA and free-cash-flow yield instead.
- **PEG: 12.86**. A PEG of 12.86 means the P/E is high relative to expected earnings growth; the price already assumes a lot.
- **Price / sales: 0.6×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 0.6×, a low multiple typical of thin-margin businesses or out-of-favour stocks.
- **EV / EBITDA: 8.6×**. Enterprise value is 8.6× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 16.6%** (5-yr avg 10.5%). Free cash flow equals 16.6% of the market value, above its five-year average of 10.5%, so the shares are cheaper on cash than they have usually been. Above 5% is generally attractive.

## Profitability
- **Gross margin: 53.7%**. Cineplex, Inc. keeps 53.7% of revenue after the direct cost of what it sells.
- **Operating margin: 9.4%**. 9.4% of revenue is left after running the business.
- **Net margin: -2.9%**. The company reported a net loss over the last twelve months.
- **Return on equity: 46.8%**. 46.8% on shareholders' equity is excellent if it is not driven by leverage; sustained above 20% usually signals a competitive advantage.
- **Return on invested capital: 6.4%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is 6.4%.
- **Return on assets: -0.6%**. Each dollar of assets produces -0.6% of profit.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): -3.4%** (3-yr 5.2%/yr, 5-yr 25.2%/yr). Revenue fell 3.4% over the last year, against 25.2% a year compounded over five years: growth is slowing.
- **EPS growth (1 yr): 1.7%**. Earnings per share rose 1.7%, faster than revenue, so margins expanded or the share count shrank.
- **Free-cash-flow growth (3 yr): 40.9%/yr**. Free cash flow has compounded at 40.9% a year over three years.

## Financial health
- **Net debt / EBITDA: 5.9×**. It would take 5.9 years of operating earnings to repay net borrowings, above the 3× level most lenders treat as comfortable.
- **Interest coverage: 0.9×**. Operating profit covers interest only 0.9×: fragile.
- **Current ratio: 0.52** (quick 0.49). Current liabilities exceed current assets, so the company depends on ongoing cash generation or refinancing to pay the next year's bills.
- **Altman Z-score: 0.75**. A Z-score of 0.75 is in the distress zone, a signal to examine the balance sheet closely.
- **Piotroski F-score: 5/9**. 5 of 9 checks pass: mixed.

## Dividends
- **Dividend: none**. Cineplex, Inc. does not currently pay a dividend.

## Price and momentum
- **Total return (1 yr): 3.9%** (YTD 17.8%, 3-mo 10.9%). The shares are up 3.9% over twelve months including dividends.
- **From 52-week high: -6.5%** (35.7% above the low). Trading 6% below its 52-week high.
- **200-day average: above**. The price sits above its 200-day moving average, the usual definition of an uptrend.
- **RSI (14-day): 53**. An RSI of 53 is neutral.
- **Beta (1 yr): 0.64** (volatility 32%). Beta of 0.64 against the S&P/TSX Composite: the shares move much less than the market.
