Excellent breakdown and what APE actually means and how it can create more financial stability for AMC. Reading your article gave me the feeling I had a better understanding what was happening….not just Twitter banter. Again, I feel because of the work you do I have a greater grasp of general knowledge in the financial world
While on the topic of 'meme' stocks. I'd love to see your analysis on the GME saga.
Is is true that DTCC incorrectly processed the dividend split? What effect will the DRS movement have on the stock? Are the hedge funds holding more shorts than publicly reported? Are the massive number of FTD's an indicator of manipulation? How will a community of 815,000 on reddit affect the stock. Is the NFT marketplace the way of the future?
thanks for sharing and writing this. but i am confused, isnt amc/ape split similar to tesla stock split? so there is no additional cash infusion to the company. unless on top of the split, amc is selling additional ape shares to institutions and public to pay down debt?
Thank you for the debt to equity valuations analysis! Very insightful and indeed $APEs seem a good move to ensure survival.
Let me offer an alternative explanation for AMC price moves, please look into it yourself too:
AMC was never a true meme stock. AMCX was part of the basket short that got squeezed in Jan of 21. AMC was not mentioned in social media once until weeks after the meme squeeze. The theory here is that AMC was taken as hedge (by short sellers) for the basket shorts to distract from AMCX. It then caught on.
AMC fully diluted their authorized shares to bail out underwater shortsellers, at which point it ran up a few times to help with collateral on the hedge.
Why would any of this be true? Well your analysis exposes it as so, no other meme stock is equity rich like AMC is, even though other meme stocks have gigantically higher followings, case in point GME.
100% agree. Any idea as to why the company couldn't just obtain shareholder approval to amend the charter and increase authorized shares? It's the shareholders who are supporting this company, after all. Perhaps management didn't have enough confidence in this approach, or thought $APE might produce better optics?
Great writeup, thank you. Question, is there any mention of the $APE crypto currency from AMC? Another vibrant community, similar in some ways. Have to think Aron is angling for some sort or partnership, right?
I'm so lost here. If that's the case and we take this to the logical next step could AMC pay off it's debt, take on additional debt and then issue more APE shares to pay that new debt down all the while continuing to increase the share price as it's increasing shareholder value? Is this a fountain of wealth?
Well done! Thank you for sharing and writing this!

Very good article!
Please write more like these.
Very informative and easy to read.
I also like how you try to be impartial as much as possible.
