SeaWorld Stock Slips, Slides Away

A rough year for SeaWorld Entertainment (NYSE: SEAS) investors is getting even bumpier. Shares of the theme park operator traded lower on Thursday after an analyst downgrade. SeaWorld stock was already trading 21% lower year to date before Thursday's drop.

Matthew Brooks at Macquarie is lowering his rating on the shares from outperform to neutral. The downgrade is accompanied by a lower price target, as Brooks is slashing his goal on the shares from $22 to $15. Brooks feels that the potential turnaround is taking too long to materialize, and judging by the stock's languishing return in recent months, it's safe to say that he's not alone.
