Cineworld Group's (LSE:CINE) hedge fund owners are considering taking the cinema chain public again with a potential New York stock market listing, likely in early 2026, according to Sky News.
Discussions remain in the early stages and focus primarily on the business's international operations. A sale of its struggling UK arm may also be explored.
The company has faced prolonged uncertainty in Britain, where restructuring plans have led to permanent closures of six sites and potential risks to nearly 20 more.
Disputes with landlords over the terms of the restructuring have further complicated matters.
Cineworld, which operates over 100 UK locations, entered Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2022 due to heavy debt, exiting the London Stock Exchange in 2023.
