Six Flags: Merger Revenue Bump, EPS Dips
Six Flags Entertainment (NYSE:FUN), a national amusement park company, disclosed its fourth-quarter 2024 earnings on Feb. 27, 2025, demonstrating growth but also missing crucial financial forecasts. A significant merger with Cedar Fair completed last year contributed to increased attendance and a sharp rise in revenue to $687 million from $371 million in the previous year. However, this still fell short of the $706 million forecast. The company reported a net loss of $264 million or an EPS loss of -$2.76, which was significantly below the expected $0.28, and a greater loss than last year's -$0.20, underlining ongoing integration challenges.
