Wedbush reiterates an 'Outperform' on Carmike Cinemas (NASDAQ: CKEC) price target of $19.00.

Analyst, Michael Pachter, said, "Our Q2 EPS estimate for Carmike goes to $0.26 from
$0.29, and for the full year, our EPS estimate for Carmike goes to $1.28 from $1.32, compared to consensus of $1.07. Our 2013 estimates for revenue, adjusted EBITDA, and EPS all remain the same."

"Our price target reflects a 6.2x EV/EBITDA multiple applied to our 2013 estimate, in line with its peers, plus ≈ 7x applied to $3 million in incremental income we project in 2013 income from Screenvision. This is a premium to its historical multiple of 5.9x given the potential for substantial earnings upside should revenue surpass expectations."
