Maxim Group reiterates a 'Buy' on Carmike Cinemas (NASDAQ: CKEC) price target of $13.00.
Analyst, John Tinker, said, "CKEC is beginning to ramp up with new theatre builds, which we believe should help even out the box office fluctuations magnified by a small share base. In the meantime, as we wait for a sustained box office recovery, we estimate that free cash flow should grow to about $1.50 in 2012 from $0.66 in 2011. Please note that $1.50 FCF/share is after $23M ($1.80/share) of capital expenditure."
"We are estimating 4Q11 revenues of $112.6M, down 3% y/y and slightly lower than the consensus estimate of $115.1M. We have lowered our 4Q11 revenue estimate from the previous estimate of $129.5M due to lower-than-expected box office results of negative ~5%. The company is expected to report earnings results around second week of March 2012."
