MKM Partners analyst Eric Handler raised his price target on National CineMedia (NCMI) to $9 after its Q2 earnings beat and a slightly higher FY18 outlook as the company moves into a "challenging" second half. The analyst also keeps his Neutral rating, noting National CineMedia's expectations of declining growth forecast for the second half of FY19, though the management was also seen as "conservative". Despite the removed overhang from AMC (AMC), which finalized the sale of its National CineMedia equity interest last month, Handler believes there is limited potential for capital appreciation.
