United Parks & Resorts: There Are Still Many Visible Red Flags
I maintain a Hold rating on PRKS due to ongoing uncertainty from upcoming competition and weak admissions per capita trends. Recent earnings showed revenue and attendance declines, with admissions per capita dropping despite a slight rebound in April. Positive signs include record in-park spending and strong forward bookings, but these are not enough to offset macro and competitive risks.
