Benchmark analyst Mike Hickey reiterated a Buy rating and $35.00 price target on Cinemark Holdings (NYSE: CNK).

The analyst commented, "We are reducing near-term expectations following a softer-than-expected 4Q box office but remain constructive on the medium-term outlook. 4Q underperformance was driven by weaker-than-anticipated openings and holds across several key titles, pressuring year-end results and informing our updated estimates. Looking ahead, we see 2026 as a materially stronger box office year, supported by a normalization in release volume, heavier franchise density, and improved slate balance. In addition, we view the ongoing Paramount–Netflix process around Warner Bros. Discovery as a net positive for theatrical exhibition and Cinemark, reinforcing long-term content volume and the strategic relevance of cinemas."
