Analyst David Katz viewed the top-line and bottom-line miss, coupled with attendance and growth in per caps up slightly as modestly negative for the shares.

Despite profitability and revenue growth, the share price decline is counter-intuitive, hinting at other factors. The company's underperformance over the past year and long-term loss of 9% per annum over the last half decade is concerning.

Analyst Eric Wold believes that Cedar Fair provides a more attractive entry point and is a more appropriate way to play the theme park sector merger, while Six Flags is seen having more downside risk.

Neuberger Berman criticised the proposed merger arrangement as it removes voting rights from Cedar Fair shareholders, unfairly discourages alternate acquisition proposals and causes Cedar Fair shareholders to lose tax benefits due to the new entity being taxed as a corporation.

Analysts regard the merger as highly favourable, expecting it to decrease regional weather impact and create synergies. The combined resources are anticipated to boost attendance, profitability and guest experience across parks.

The merger between Cedar Fair and Six Flags is expected to enhance customer experiences and operational efficiency. Despite investor skepticism, CEOs are optimistic about improved competitiveness and value propositions.

The merger of Cedar Fair and Six Flags aims to bolster park offerings and performance via a robust operating system. The unified firm wishes to enhance attendance, raise per capita spending, and ramp up profitability while boosting earnings for both sets of stakeholders in the first year after closure.

Jefferies and Macquarie analysts view the merger as positive for Six Flags, with potential value increase. It also paves way for a compelling national pass network. Truist foresees a 30% to 80% upside for the joint entity based on pro-forma P&L, capital structures, and regional park operators' historical valuations.

Strong performance from Shopify, Eli Lilly, and Palantir boosts investor outlook. Meanwhile, Peloton's disappointing guidance creates negativity. The Cedar Fair and Six Flags merger is seen positively.
