Analysis

Middle-of-the-road

United Parks & Resorts Inc. is a middle-of-the-road business: neither the economics nor the price stand out from the peer group.

The price is fair. You pay 23.5× its owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year, which is in the historically fair zone.

The trajectory is tepid and the balance sheet is stretched. The company scores 10/20 on our value-creation score: creating some value.

What to watch: The financial cushion is thinner than comfortable. As always: this describes the company's numbers; it is not a recommendation.
