Description: CNK Cinemark Holdings January 10, 2026
Cinemark Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:CNK) is a publicly traded motion-picture exhibitor operating a network of theatres across the United States and Latin America. Founded in 1984 and headquartered in Plano, Texas, the company generates revenue primarily from ticket sales, concessions, and advertising.
Key operating metrics include FY 2023 revenue of roughly $2.2 billion and a comparable-store (same-theatre) ticket-sales growth of 5 % year-over-year, driven by a modest rebound in discretionary consumer spending post-pandemic. The average ticket price has risen to about $12.30, reflecting both inflationary pressure and premium-format pricing (e.g., IMAX, 4DX). Core sector drivers remain the health of the U.S. economy, consumer confidence, and the competitive landscape with streaming services, while Latin American markets add geographic diversification but expose the firm to currency and political risk.
