Is Cinemark Holdings under- or over-valued?

Valuing a stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge value. Check out the Cinemark Holdings P/E ratio, PEG ratio and EBITDA.

Cinemark Holdings's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 24x. In other words, Cinemark Holdings's shares trade at around 24x recent earnings.

That's comparable to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the United States stock markets on average as of March 2025 (25.37).

Cinemark Holdings's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.7222. A PEG ratio over 1 can be interpreted as meaning shares are overvalued at the current rate of growth, or may anticipate an acceleration in growth.

The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Cinemark Holdings's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Cinemark Holdings's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $566.2 million (£428.2 million).

The EBITDA is a measure of Cinemark Holdings's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Frequently asked questions

Dividend yield: 0.88% of stock value
Forward annual dividend yield: 1.34% of stock value
Dividend payout ratio: 31.73% of net profits

Cinemark Holdings has recently paid out dividends equivalent to 0.88% of its share value annually.

Cinemark Holdings has paid out, on average, around 31.73% of recent net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.34% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), shareholders could enjoy a 1.34% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Cinemark Holdings's case, that would currently equate to about 0.24 per share.

While Cinemark Holdings's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that it may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.

Cinemark Holdings's next dividend payout is expected around 11 December 2025. To be eligible for the latest dividend you would need to have been a shareholder at 27 November 2025 (the "ex-dividend date").
