ORLANDO, Fla., July 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- United Parks & Resorts Inc. (NYSE: PRKS) announced today that it will release its second quarter financial results before the market opens on Tuesday, August 4, 2026.

United Parks & Resorts remains a 'Buy' despite recent underperformance versus the S&P 500, due to compelling valuation and operational improvements. PRKS faces declining attendance and revenue pressures, but management's cost-cutting and technology investments are expected to drive $50 million in annual savings. Per capita in-park spending is rising, offsetting some admission declines, while new initiatives in hotels, sponsorships, and real estate offer additional upside.

United Parks and Resorts is rated "BUY," supported by improving forward indicators and trading at a 10.7x forward P/E, below its historical peak. Despite a weak 1Q26 due to adverse weather and lower international visitors, PRKS grew in-park per capita spending by 5.3% year-over-year. Management guides for accelerated revenue and EBITDA growth in 2H26, driven by new attractions and a rebound in international tourism.
