Imax is due for a rally as Hollywood continues getting back on track after last year's strikes, according to Seaport Research Partners. Analyst David Joyce initiated coverage of the stock, known for its large movie screens, at a buy rating. Joyce's $23 price target implies the stock can rally 30% from Tuesday's closing level. Joyce called Imax a small-cap way to play the normalization of the film industry after joint strikes from writers and actors last year stalled production and delayed some releases. The analyst also believes the stock is not trading like an "experience economy" play despite fitting the mold.

REUTERS/Stella Qiu/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsOct 10 (Reuters) - IMAX China (1970.HK) said on Tuesday that its shareholders have rejected a proposal of its U.S.-based parent (IMAX.N) to buy the remaining stake in the Hong Kong-listed company for about $124 million. IMAX, which currently owns 71.6% of its Chinese subsidiary, had offered to buy IMAX China at HK$10 ($1.28) per share in July, a 49% premium to the 30-day average closing price at the time. The remaining 28.4% stake of IMAX China was valued at about$98.7 million, as of the company's last closing price. IMAX had sought to take full control of its China unit to improve the company's operational flexibility and apply its technology in the Chinese market.

Despite a softer-than-expected second quarter, IMAX screens should still reach the full-year expectation of $1.1 billion in the global box office, Mejias said. That's driven in part by the strength of "Oppenheimer," which drove consumers to IMAX screens over the weekend. The pairing, which included Warner Bros. "Barbie," helped drive the fourth highest grossing box office weekend ever, according to Comscore. With the Chinese box office activity returning, the company could reach pre-pandemic business levels by 2024, Mejias said. "We believe the continued over-indexing of IMAX screens in the post-pandemic moviegoing environment provides evidence of a structural improvement of consumer demand toward the format."

Microsoft agreed to voluntarily recognize the union if workers voted to unionize in December, per Reuters. Union workers can petition to the National Labor Relations Board to force their employer to recognize their union, but the process is long and arduous. Microsoft and ZeniMax Studios did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
