The firm itself brazenly called AMC \"massively overvalued.\" If the firm made a 20% return on its invested capital, it secured $46m in profits yesterday… not bad for a day's work!\nWhile AMC was likely happy to get an equity raise done at this valuation, the hedge fund sold its stake faster than AMC could get the filing about its unregistered sale of equity securities out...\nExtreme volatility and risks...\nAMC's valuation has become even more ludicrous on Tuesday than it already was before. The movie theater chain, which was close to bankruptcy just a few months ago, now trades at a P-S ratio of 3.\nCinemark Holdings (CNK), a theater rival which may itself be overvalued, trades at a P-S ratio of 1.0.\nData by YCharts\nThe risk here is immeasurable because neither the price action nor the valuation makes any sense for AMC.\nAMC's price should have gone down yesterday, not up because a capital raise is dilutive... but nothing makes sense anymore when it comes to AMC.\nAMC is trading independently of its business numbers and growth prospects and the risk of losing everything in this \"investment\" is extremely high.\nClosing thoughts\nA hedge fund just had a big victory and nobody seems to notice or care.\nYou literally had a hedge fund flipping its stake in AMC to the Reddit army at a massively overpriced valuation and explicitly calling AMC \"overvalued.\" It can't get any more brazen than this.
