Institutions have bought IMAX Corporation (IMAX) shares in huge ways – 47 outlier inflows since 2010.

IMAX develops motion picture technologies and presentations, offering content, technology, and production solutions to customers around the world. The company’s second-quarter fiscal 2026 report showed revenue of $103 million (a 12% year-over-year gain), with “The Odyssey” generating $52 million in global opening-weekend box office sales, adjusted per-share earnings of $0.43 (up 65%), and adjusted EBITDA of $48 million (a nearly 47% margin). The company reports again on Oct. 22.

No wonder IMAX shares are up 37% so far this year – and they could rise more. MoneyFlows data shows how Big Money investors are again betting heavily on the stock.
