Fubotv earnings beat by $0.10, revenue topped estimates
Investing.com - UBS maintained its Buy rating and $40.00 price target on Six Flags (NYSE:SIX) Entertainment (NYSE:FUN), currently trading at $24.36 with a market capitalization of $2.44 billion, despite the theme park operator reporting second-quarter results below expectations.
The weaker-than-anticipated performance was attributed to excessive weather disruptions and the pull-forward of costs from the second half of the year into Q2. Six Flags management cited delayed pass purchases and pressure on value-conscious lower-end consumers as additional factors affecting performance. According to InvestingPro data, the stock’s RSI suggests oversold conditions, while 5 analysts have recently revised their earnings expectations downward.
UBS noted encouraging signs of recovery in July, with visitation increasing 8% over the past two weeks, 4% over a four-week period, and 1% over a five-week period. These improvements may be partially attributed to easier year-over-year comparisons due to hurricane impacts last year and pent-up demand following early summer weather disruptions.
July typically contributes approximately 40% of Six Flags’ full-year EBITDA versus Q2, making it a crucial period for the company’s annual performance. Management expects a 3% decline in per capita spending to continue through the remainder of the year.
Six Flags’ guidance implies a revenue decline of around 2% in the second half of the year, split evenly between Q3 and Q4, potentially leaving room for outperformance if the recent four-week attendance trend of 4% growth continues through the rest of summer. The company’s last twelve months revenue stands at $3.17 billion, with an EBITDA of $714 million.
