Six Flags Entertainment Corporation (NYSE:FUN) posted weak sales for the third quarter on Friday.
The company reported third-quarter adjusted earnings per share of $3.28, beating the analyst consensus estimate of $2.20.
Quarterly sales of $1.318 billion (down 2% year over year) missed the Street view of $1.333 billion. Attendance rose 1% to 21.1 million, an increase of about 138,000 visits.

The company anticipates full-year 2025 adjusted EBITDA of $780 million to $805 million (prior view: $860 million to $910 million).
