United Parks & Resorts: Orlando Performance Was Encouraging, But It Is Not Enough
I maintain a hold rating on United Parks & Resorts due to persistent per capita spending weakness and cost pressures, despite Orlando's resilience. Orlando attendance and premium offerings like Discovery Cove show encouraging strength, challenging my earlier bearish view on competitive threats. Broad-based softness remains across the portfolio, with season pass declines and downgraded FY25 guidance confirming muted near-term earnings momentum.
