Q: Hi 5i
Today while market was busy crashing, CGX was heading higher in heavy trading. Do you have any idea what is going on? major news ?
I have been trying to start position at 7.75 and wondering if that price has slipped away...or just wait....my hold time frame is 1-2 years... in your opinion Increased risk given current market conditions?

thx
jim

5i Research Answer:

There was no specific company news, but theatre stocks in general rose as news came from Hollywood that labour negotiations with writers are moving closer to a deal. Market conditions are always a risk, but CGX carries the added risk of an extremely large debt level. It is back making money again, and is cheap on an earnings valuation. We would still consider it a very risky stock overall and think buyers have time on their side here.
