Six Flags (FUN) Earnings Preview: Analysts Project Massive 72% Revenue Surge.

With a strong "Buy" rating and a 31% potential upside, Wall Street is optimistic about the theme park operator's upcoming quarterly results.

All eyes will be on Six Flags Entertainment Corp. (NYSE: FUN) when it releases its second-quarter financial results on August 6, 2025. The theme park giant is heading into the announcement with significant momentum, as Wall Street analysts are forecasting a period of substantial top-line growth and solid profitability for the quarter ending June 30, 2025.

Explosive Growth on the Horizon

The core of the market’s optimism lies in the powerful revenue projections. According to LSEG data based on the mean estimate from 12 analysts, the Charlotte, North Carolina-based company is expected to report revenue of $987.3 million. This figure would represent a staggering 72.7% increase from the $571.62 million reported in the same quarter a year ago, signaling a robust recovery and strong consumer demand.

On the profitability front, LSEG’s mean analyst estimate for Six Flags is for earnings of 88 cents per share. This bottom-line figure will be a key metric for investors looking to gauge the company’s operational efficiency amid its rapid revenue expansion.

Wall Street’s Bullish Consensus

This positive financial outlook is strongly reflected in the current analyst sentiment surrounding the stock. Key highlights include:

  • Strong “Buy” Rating: The average analyst rating for FUN shares is a “Buy.”

  • Overwhelmingly Positive Recommendations: The breakdown of recommendations shows a firm belief in the company’s direction, with 13 analysts rating the stock as a “Strong Buy” or “Buy,” compared to only one “Hold” and one “Sell” or “Strong Sell.”

  • Significant Price Target: Wall Street’s median 12-month price target for Six Flags is $43.00. This suggests a potential upside of approximately 31% from its last closing price of $29.69, offering a compelling case for potential investors.

While the overall picture is rosy, it is worth noting that the mean earnings estimate has seen a slight downward revision, falling by about 0.2% in the last three months. This minor adjustment indicates a slight tempering of expectations but has done little to dampen the overwhelmingly positive consensus.

What to Watch For

Investors and market watchers will be focused on whether Six Flags can meet or exceed these lofty expectations. The August 6 report will not only provide a clear picture of the company’s performance during the critical spring and early summer season but will also be a key indicator of its future trajectory. The management’s commentary on attendance trends, in-park spending, and forward guidance will be crucial in shaping the stock’s performance in the months ahead.
