Stifel Nicolaus cut shares of Imax Corporation (NASDAQ: IMAX) from a buy rating to a hold rating in a research note issued to investors on Friday.
“Following IMAX’s 4Q12 earnings, we are lowering our rating from a Buy to a Hold on valuation. Our fair value estimate is $28-29 (previous target price of $25). The earnings did have a good read through to 2013 in terms of improving JRSA margins, stable box office splits and continued reduction in DMR costs. While an increase in screen installation guidance is likely, it will not be as material as in years past given the company’s recent change in guidance methodology. The company, correctly in our view, downplayed buyback interestnoting that JRSA pipeline remains strong.,” Stifel Nicolaus’ analyst wrote.
