Analyst target reaches USD 63.00

The Morgan Stanley call gives IMAX a clearly dated analyst benchmark as the company enters the final quarter of 2026. The USD 63.00 target stands above the October 5 Lang & Schwarz price, but the two figures are denominated in different currencies and are not used for a percentage comparison.

MarketBeat reported that 11 analysts rated IMAX a Buy and three assigned a Hold rating on September 26, 2026. The same report placed the average 12-month target at USD 55.17, while Morgan Stanley's USD 63.00 target was the highest cited level.

Second-quarter revenue rose 12.20 percent

IMAX reported USD 102.84 million in revenue for the second quarter of 2026, compared with USD 96.09 million expected by analysts, according to MarketBeat. Revenue increased 12.20 percent from the same quarter of 2025, while earnings per share reached USD 0.43 against a USD 0.30 consensus estimate.

The operating picture also has a concrete box-office marker. In a September 8, 2026 release, IMAX said its network generated USD 728.00 million in worldwide summer box office revenue, 73.00 percent above the previous record. That result links the analyst interest to a measurable content and theater-performance trend rather than to valuation alone.
