In the said letter, Mittleman Brothers highlighted a few stocks and AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc. (NYSE:AMC) is one of them. AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc. (NYSE:AMC) is a movie theater chain. Year-to-date, AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc. (NYSE:AMC) stock lost 58.8% and on November 17th it had a closing price of $2.98. Here is what Mittleman Brothers said:

“While AMC Entertainment Holdings (AMC US) has moved closer to the zone of insolvency and clearly requires further financing to bridge the remaining gap between now and whenever re-opening takes hold, they should be able to raise additional capital through equity sales and asset sales, with the Nordic theatre chain the most likely major liquidity source. It is worth nothing that analysts were confidently predicting imminent bankruptcy for AMC back in April when the stock fell from US$7.78 on 20 February to US$1.95 on 13 April, but it raised significant capital shortly thereafter and the stock was back to US$7.71 on 2 September before the most recent panic attack. MIM thinks AMC will make it through to 2021 and thus multiples of the current stock price will be achieved for those willing to endure the volatility in the interim.”
