AMC shares have been trading marginally higher in recent days, driven by recent company announcements and a key analyst upgrade. On July 11, Wedbush upgraded its rating on AMC to Outperform and increased its price target to $4.00. The analyst cited a stronger film slate, market share gains from premium screen offerings, and improved box office performance [1].

The company has been implementing several strategic initiatives to boost attendance and revenue. For instance, AMC has partnered with Eminem for the documentary "Stans" and launched a promotion offering 50% off tickets on Tuesdays and Wednesdays for its loyalty members [1]. These efforts align with CEO Adam Aron's narrative of recovery, which he highlighted following the company's first-quarter earnings beat [1].

Despite the positive momentum, investors are cautious ahead of the earnings report. The stock has a 52-week high of $5.56 and a 52-week low of $2.45, with shares trading slightly higher by 1.55% to $2.95 on Thursday morning [1].
