Benchmark analyst Mike Hickey reiterated a Buy rating and $8.00 price target on National CineMedia (NASDAQ: NCMI).

The analyst commented, “Adding to Best Idea List: NCM is poised for growth in 2025 as box office revenue rises an estimated 10% YoY and core U.S. ad market expands 8%.”

Also, “With streaming ad inventory limited (<15%), cinema offers premium, high-engagement advertising to a 30-year-old average, 62% multicultural audience.”

And, “NCM’s $1.1B debt elimination, 2025 dividend reinstatement, and $100M buyback strengthen financials. Programmatic expansion, self-serve platforms, and high-margin digital targeting drive scalable revenue growth, reinforcing its Best Idea addition.”
