Description: AMCX AMC Networks October 27, 2025
AMC Networks Inc. (NASDAQ:AMCX) is a diversified entertainment company that distributes content across the United States, Europe, and other international markets. It operates two primary segments: Domestic Operations, which includes linear networks such as AMC, WE tv, BBC America, IFC, and Sundance TV, as well as a suite of subscription-streaming services (Acorn TV, Shudder, Sundance Now, ALLBLK, HIDIVE, and AMC+); and International Operations, which runs the AMCNI channel portfolio and comedy-venue business under the Levity brand. The firm also produces and licenses original programming and conducts film distribution through IFC Films, RLJ Entertainment Films, and Shudder.
In its most recent fiscal year, AMC Networks reported revenue of approximately $3.1 billion, with streaming services contributing roughly 22 % of total revenue-a share that has been growing at an estimated 12 % CAGR over the past three years. The combined subscriber base for its streaming platforms reached about 7.5 million, driven largely by niche-focused services such as Shudder (horror) and ALLBLK (African-American audiences), which tend to exhibit higher average revenue per user (ARPU) than broader-appeal competitors.
Key economic drivers for AMC include the ongoing “cord-cutting” trend that pressures traditional ad-supported TV revenue, while simultaneously expanding the addressable market for direct-to-consumer streaming. Advertising spend in the U.S. entertainment sector is expected to grow modestly (≈3 % YoY) as brands shift budgets toward digital and over-the-top (OTT) platforms, creating both a risk to linear networks and an opportunity for AMC’s hybrid distribution model.
