Investment Thesis — United Parks & Resorts Inc.
The market is overreacting to near-term attendance and cost headwinds, ignoring the embedded operating leverage and pricing power in PRKS's unique regional theme park assets. Investors are extrapolating recent declines as secular, missing the cyclical rebound potential and underestimating management's ability to optimize yields.
