10/09/2026: RDIB (1-star) is a SELL. SELL for 4 days. Simulated Profits (-23.08%). Updated daily EoD!

Reading International B Inc is a specialized operator that balances a portfolio of multi-screen cinema venues with commercial real estate development. Its core strengths lie in its dual-asset structure, which offers potential value through physical property ownership beyond cinema operations. The company faces significant risks from the long-term shift toward streaming and intense competition from larger theater chains. While the real estate segment provides a potential hedge, the company's performance is closely tied to theatrical release schedules and box office success. It may suit investors looking for exposure to niche entertainment and real estate assets, provided they monitor the company's debt management and property monetization efforts.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
RDIB receives a 2-star rating, reflecting soft or weak scores across the available pillars. The rating is constrained by weak unit economics, soft analyst coverage, and weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
RDIB has moderate overall fundamentals (3 stars), with soft financial health, solid growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, strong earnings growth (+59.9%) is partially offset by weak cash generation (FCF margin -0.8%), slightly negative revenue growth (-3.6%), weak profitability (net margin -7.0%).

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
RDIB's financial health is soft, with the relatively strongest area being moderate efficiency, including operating-expense and cost-of-revenue discipline (opex 16.0% of revenue). Profitability is soft (2 stars), which helps explain the 2-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Free-cash-flow growth is RDIB's strongest growth driver at +84.2% FY2025 versus FY2024 (strong, 5 stars). By comparison, earnings growth (+59.9%, strong) is also strong, while revenue growth (-3.6%, slightly negative) holds the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 14.8% and approximately 930.4% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 82.19% supports management-shareholder alignment.

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
RDIB generates approximately $134 of gross profit, $-26 of operating income, and $-8 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2025 results. Operating losses and cash burn explain the 1-star rating, with weak cash conversion and weak capital efficiency.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: -6.18% (Tax Credit)

Quantitative Style Profile

★★★★★
RDIB has a liquid profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback, while valuation that is moderately attractive rather than deeply discounted.
