Small-Cap Wins in Q3: Top-Performing ETFs in Focus 

Small caps staged a comeback in Q3, with ETFs like FESM, RZV, FYX, VTWV, JSML, IWO topping gains. While there are certain tariff risks, the Fed's rate cut potential is a plus. 

An analyst preferred to remain on the sidelines of AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. (AMC) as the risk-reward ratio remained balanced.&nbsp;Texas Capital analyst Eric Wold initiated coverage of AMC with a ‘Hold’ rating and a $3 price target, implying over 12% downside from current levels.&nbsp;Wold said the movie-theater chain, helmed by CEO Adam Aron, is well-positioned to benefit from improving theatrical attendance and box office revenues in 2025 and 2026.Earlier this week, AMC announced a record Memorial Day holiday weekend performance in terms of both admissions and food and beverage revenue, driven&nbsp;by the release of big-ticket films such as Tom Cruise’s “Mission: Impossible - Final Reckoning” and Disney’s live-action “Lilo &amp; Stitch”.Aron commented on the performance: “Finally, it would appear that our industry has turned a corner.”“A record-setting Memorial Day holiday is yet another sign of the continued strength and relevance of moviegoing in 2025.”The executive also sounded upbeat about the outlook. “With many more potentially huge movies coming in June all the way through the end of 2025, and beyond that deeply into 2026 as well, we firmly expect to be enjoying a robust theatrical box office as we look ahead,” he said.Texas Capital’s caution stems from concerns about AMC’s debt levels.The firm’s analysts see cash flow headwinds due to the company’s elevated debt and major maturities scheduled for the coming years. Higher interest expense is also likely weighing down on the stock’s valuation.AMC is saddled with a heavy debt pile, with total liabilities standing at $8.8 billion at the end of the March quarter, as opposed to the cash balance of $378.7 million.&nbsp;Following the March quarter results, Wedbush analyst Alicia Reese&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.marketwatch.com/story/amc-got-a-difficult-quarter-out-of-the-way-now-cash-is-the-focus-444f03ca">said</a> AMC has $43 million in debt due in 2025, with the maturing payments ballooning to $173 million in 2026 and $526&nbsp;million in 2027.Although Aron assured investors there wouldn’t be any further dilution after the 50-million-stock offering announced in January, Reese said, “It will likely seek shareholder approval to issue more shares in 2025 while renegotiating debt maturities and terms to provide liquidity.”On Stocktwits, retail investors were ‘bullish’ (73/100) on&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/AMC">AMC stock</a> by early Friday, with the message volume at ‘extremely high’ levels.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:619/51;" src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/Screenshot_2025_05_30_at_5_04_01_AM_png_576e9b45b1.webp" alt="Screenshot 2025-05-30 at 5.04.01 AM.png" width="619" height="51"><figcaption>AMC sentiment and messagre volume as of 5:05 a.m. ET, May 30 | source: Stocktwits</figcaption></figure>Sharing a “inverse head-and-shoulders chart pattern,’ a watcher said they are bullish on the AMC stock.<stembedurl>https://stocktwits.com/themojitobull/message/616269174</stembedurl>Another watcher goaded “fellow” apes to act to bail out each other.

AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. (AMC) announced discounted ticket pricing on Monday for its Stubs members as the struggling movie theater chain strives to capitalize on the recent resurgence in theater footfall.&nbsp;The Leawood, Kansas-based movie theater chain's new pricing initiative, dubbed '50% off Wednesdays,' will allow its Stubs members to watch the latest releases on the big screen&nbsp;at half the normal adult-evening ticket price each Wednesday.The select discounted pricing scheme will be in effect in the U.S. beginning on July 9. AMC clarified that premium charges for Imax, Dolby Cinema, and other premium large-format (PLF) screens, and online ticketing fees will still apply, and the discount will be on the base ticket price.The latest offer comes on top of the significant discounts for AMC Stubs members on Tuesdays.The Stubs membership is available to moviegoers in four tiers: "Insider," which is a free tier, "Premiere GO," "Premiere," and "A-List."AMC said, "While certain movies and holiday time periods may be excluded from the "50% Off Wednesdays" program, it is envisioned that if successful, this new AMC pricing initiative will be almost universally available at all AMC Theatres in the United States going forward."CEO Adam Aron said the decision to proceed with the new program was made due to the box office boom in April and May, adding that the remainder of 2025 appears poised to continue the upward trend.AMC reported a dip in its first-quarter revenue and a wider loss last week. Aron stated that "industrywide domestic box office in Q1 was, in our view, a distorting anomaly."Theater chains have seen a bounce back in attendance after the COVID-19 shutdowns and the anemic recovery following the pandemic.AMC must also contend with fundamental woes, given profitability and financial health worries. Notwithstanding the headwinds, the stock was one of the biggest beneficiaries of the meme mania, which peaked in 2021.On Stocktwits, retail sentiment toward AMC stock was 'bullish' (62/100) by late Monday, with the buoyant mood accompanied by 'high' message volume.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:620/56;" src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/Screenshot_2025_05_13_at_1_23_10_AM_png_a5f406f624.webp" alt="Screenshot 2025-05-13 at 1.23.10 AM.png" width="620" height="56"><figcaption>AMC sentiment and message volume as of 1:24 a.m. ET, May 13 | Stocktwits</figcaption></figure>A watcher said the discounted pricing is "bullish" news as it would translate to more revenue due to increased AMC Stubs members.<stembedurl>https://stocktwits.com/Critter94/message/614377463</stembedurl>Another user sees meme stocks AMC and GameStop (GME) running yet again, as the market will likely peak in June-July.<stembedurl>https://stocktwits.com/Shawtheturtle/message/614386473</stembedurl>AMC stock, which ended Monday's session little changed at $27.30, rose 0.73% in the after-hours session.

However, the firm believes the company needs to do more financial engineering. Due to a healthy box office recovery, it expects further improvements in the coming two years.&nbsp;Roth MKM sees AMC’s free cash flow continuing to remain negative in 2025, potentially necessitating additional equity raises.&nbsp;Cinemark’s report released last week showed that the company reversed to a profit in the fourth quarter, but the earnings per share (EPS) missed the consensus estimate. Revenue climbed 27.5% year over year (YoY) to $814.3 million.&nbsp;Sean Gamble, the CEO of the Plano, Texas-based theater chain, attributed the strong topline performance to better-than-expected industry performance.&nbsp;Cinemark also reinstated its annual cash dividend, which it suspended in 2020.The optimism toward AMC is due to its meme stock potential and the retail buzz.

AMC Vs. Cinemark: Retail Picks Potential Winner Among Movie Theater Chain Stocks

AMC and Cinemark reported record revenues for the fourth quarter, fueled by moviegoers’ return to theaters in droves.

Movie theater chain AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. (AMC) is scheduled to release its fiscal year 2024 fourth-quarter results after the&nbsp;closing bell on TuesdayThe Finchat-compiled consensus estimate calls for a narrower loss of $0.16 per share and revenue of $1.30 billion, compared to the year-ago loss of $0.54 per share and revenue of $1.10 billion.The estimated year-over-year revenue (YoY) growth of 17.3% marks an acceleration from the third quarter’s 11.5% growth.Last week, rival Cinemark Holdings, Inc. (CNK) reported record fourth-quarter revenue and a return to profit, citing better-than-expected industry performance. It also reinstated its annual cash dividend, which was suspended in April 2020 after the COVID-19 pandemic.

Shares of Intuitive Machines, Inc. (LUNR) surged over 38% on Wednesday, marking their biggest one-day gain since February, following a significant <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news/markets/equity/lunr-stock-skyrockets-52-percent-after-nasa-contract-win/c7COHUJR58">contract win from NASA</a>. A Wall Street analyst now sees more than a 50% upside to the stock from current levels.The aerospace start-up, focused on lunar commercialization, secured an initial $500 million Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) contract for NASA’s Near Space Network (NSN) Services program, a deal that could eventually balloon to $4.8 billion.In light of this news, B. Riley raised its price target for Intuitive Machines from $8 to $12, maintaining a ‘Buy’ rating.The brokerage pointed out that while it anticipated multiple awardees for the initial contract, NASA’s decision to sole-source the deal to Intuitive underscores the company’s pivotal role in the agency’s lunar endeavors.This exclusive win, B. Riley says, not only cements Intuitive Machines as the backbone of lunar data transmission but also “de-risks the investment thesis that Intuitive is quickly establishing itself as a full-service space exploration company on the cusp of layering in hundreds of millions of dollars of high-margin services revenue.”Benchmark’s Josh Sullivan echoed similar confidence in Intuitive Machines, highlighting the company’s central role in NASA’s lunar strategy. The analyst maintained a $10 price target, noting that LUNR’s success with NASA makes it an increasingly attractive bet for investors.The company’s reputation has been on the rise since its IM-1 mission, part of NASA’s Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) initiative, which earlier this year made history with the successful landing of its Odysseus lander on the moon.Retail interest <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news/markets/equity/intuitive-machines-stock-flies-high-on-lunar-ambitions/c7vAw0pRc2">in Intuitive Machines</a> has been growing at a rapid pace.On Stocktwits, LUNR’s follower count has jumped by over 32% in the last three months, with message volume skyrocketing by an eye-popping 4,500%.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1314/308;" src="https://st-everywhere-cms-prod.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/LUNR_sentiment_and_message_volume_Sep_19_191479bf27.png" alt="LUNR sentiment and message volume Sep 19.png" width="1314" height="308"><figcaption>LUNR sentiment and message volume Sep 19</figcaption></figure>Sentiment on the stock was ‘bullish’ (72/100) on Thursday, with message activity remaining extremely high.One prominent Stocktwits user highlighted a potentially bigger opportunity for the company, mentioning a pending Direct-to-Earth (DTE) contract that could further enhance Intuitive’s standing.<stembedurl>https://stocktwits.com/SirMoon/message/586511689</stembedurl>Another user expressed optimism about the stock’s future: “Waiting for a squeeze, it could be today, shorts have to cover… this is a great company and I’m long.”<stembedurl>https://stocktwits.com/ishy94/message/586518198</stembedurl>LUNR stock is up more than 214% so far this year, outpacing gains by the S&amp;P 500 and the Nasdaq.Read next: <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news/markets/equity/tesla-stock-retail-chatter-spikes-after-weak-finish/c7CW2DUR5U">Tesla Stock’s Retail Chatter Builds After Weak Wednesday Finish: What’s Driving the Buzz?</a> &nbsp;
