IMAX buybacks, answered

Is IMAX buying back its stock?

Not on a net basis. IMAX has 1.9% more shares outstanding than twelve months ago. Whatever it bought back did not cover the new shares it issued. Over five years the share count is down 7.2%.

How many shares has IMAX bought back?

Net of every new share it issued, IMAX has 14.8 million fewer shares than at its 2015 peak. That is 21.3% of the company.

How many shares does IMAX have outstanding?

54,842,114 shares, as of June 30, 2026, from the cover page of its latest 10-Q. At the 2015 peak it had 69,686,502.

What do IMAX's buybacks mean for a shareholder?

Each share is a bigger slice of the company. Someone who held IMAX stock in 2015 owns 1.3 times as much of the business today without buying another share. Whether that was a good use of cash depends on the price paid.
