Steven Wieczynski has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that suggest potential upside for Six Flags Entertainment Corporation. Despite the challenges faced in 2025, Wieczynski believes that the company’s prospects for 2026 and beyond are promising. The anticipated changes in leadership, with a new CEO and board structure, are expected to drive positive transformation within the company. Additionally, the right-sizing of the park portfolio through closures and land sales is seen as a strategic move to enhance operational efficiency.
Furthermore, Wieczynski notes that investor expectations are currently very low, which creates an opportunity for positive surprises as the company addresses its challenges. The analyst also emphasizes that the difficulties encountered in 2025 were largely due to weather-related issues, which are expected to normalize. With healthy cash flow generation and no near-term debt maturities, the financial stability of the company supports the Buy rating. Although the ambitious EBITDA targets for 2028 may seem distant, Wieczynski believes that even achieving a portion of these goals would result in significant stock value appreciation.
In another report released on November 7, Barclays also maintained a Buy rating on the stock with a $25.00 price target.
