IMAX Corporation operates as a global entertainment technology firm, specializing in delivering advanced cinematic experiences.

A core offering is IMAX Digital Re-Mastering (DMR), a patented process that dramatically improves the resolution, visual fidelity, and audio quality of motion picture films for their presentation on IMAX screens.
What would it be worth at its usual multiples?
No valuation verdict: it lacks ten years of earnings to compare it with, and today's P/E (69.7) is so far from its sector's (19.1) that it gives no reliable reference price.
