Cineworld (CINE) has had a transformative year, and the latest set of results did little to undermine that. In fact, analysts bumped up full-year forecasts by 4 per cent ahead of a strong film slate in 2015 and continued expansion into central and eastern Europe. It seems non-executive director Eric Senat is just as bullish on Cineworld's prospects. He topped up his stake in the company by nearly 27,000 shares this month, for a total outlay of £130,038.

A new Bond film and the latest instalment in the Star Wars franchise should drive admission numbers up later in the year. But, before that, the group is gearing up to open its latest cinema in Bucharest - part of a plan to add 30 new multiplexes (roughly 328 screens) outside of the UK over the next three years.
