Daily closes. Earnings/event dots are placed inline.
Industries move in repeating boom-and-bust cycles. This shows where this stock’s industry sits in that cycle, stage by stage (recovery → expansion → supercycle → steady → deceleration → contraction), from its fundamentals (orders, revenue, capital spending), not the stock’s price.
A booming industry is a tailwind for the names in it; a contracting one is a headwind. Companies in the same industry tend to rise and fall together with the cycle, the way a tide lifts and lowers every boat in the harbor at once, so a large part of a stock’s swing can come from where its industry sits rather than from the company itself. It’s context for reading the company’s results, not a buy/sell call. Full explanation →
Consumer Discretionary is in steady. Describes the industry's cycle state, not a call on this stock.
The stage band shows the industry’s cycle over the chart’s timeline (each color a stage); a ▼ marks a quarter its growth inflected down — amber is an unconfirmed watch, red is confirmed the next quarter. Use “Overlay cycle on chart” to tint the price chart by stage. The industry’s fundamentals, not a signal on this stock.
Primary pillar under pressure — Operating income better than -$312M in 2026-Q1: Operating income: $88.6M.
View ThesisManagement screens weak on capital allocation, earnings delivery, margins, market reaction to earnings.
View ManagementExpectations look reasonable — what the market is pricing in sits in line with or below what analysts forecast.
View ValuationThis stock is volatile — it swings about 3% on a typical day and fell roughly 73% in its worst 12-month stretch.
View RiskFUN’s case rests on park sales improving liquidity, not demonstrated growth. Revenue fell 7% year over year in Q2 FY2026, which missed. The reported loss was $1.83 per share, versus consensus earnings of $0.28. FUN trades at 14× P/E versus the 15× peer median. The desk says expectations look modest versus its growth view. The risk is a 52% modeled next-quarter miss probability. Safety reviews have closed nine coasters across five parks. Peer multiples imply a price about 53% above where it trades. The thesis is on watch. This read is provisional.
Trailing returns as of 2026-10-30. FUN is total return (includes dividends); the S&P 500 benchmark is price return (the index excludes dividends).
