Per the Roarable RQD rating, FUN scores 33 out of 100 and receives a letter grade of E, labeled "Roarable Strong Sell — Forensic Risk / Avoid." The five pillars are: Fundamental Cash Engine at 12/20 (ROIC of -19.3%; FCF yield of 0%); Whale 13F Flow at 4/20 (institutional accumulation and options positioning); Insider Conviction at 5/20 (SEC Form 4 and Congressional PTR cluster flow); Macro Regime Fit at 3/20 (Beta 1.0; sector sensitivity); and Forensic Balance Sheet at 9/20 (Altman Z 2.5; Piotroski F 5/9; Debt/Equity 8.5). The weakest pillars are Macro Regime Fit and Whale 13F Flow, while the Fundamental Cash Engine is held back by negative ROIC and a 0% FCF yield. For a prospective investor, the rating signals that the composite evidence leans negative: returns on invested capital are negative, the balance sheet carries a high Debt/Equity reading, and institutional and insider flow scores are low. Upside arguments would need to rest on factors outside the sourced metrics, which this dossier does not establish. This is an analytical summary, not personalized financial advice.
| Period | Revenue | Operating Income | Net Income | EPS | FCF | Cash | Debt |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| FY 2025 | $3100.3M | $-1375.0M | $-1549.5M | N/A | $327.5M | $91.1M | $5166.1M |

| FY 2023 | $1798.7M | $306.2M | $124.6M | N/A | $325.7M | N/A | N/A |
Per the SEC financials, revenue rose from $1798.7M in FY 2023 to $3100.3M in FY 2025, while operating income swung from $306.2M to $-1375.0M and net income moved to $-1549.5M in FY 2025.

Welcome to the FUN (Six Flags Entertainment Corporation) Roar Pit. Current RQD Composite is 33/100 (Roarable Strong Sell — Forensic Risk / Avoid) in Services-Misc. Amusement & Recreation. Bulls point to operating leverage and sector positioning, while bears focus on macro rate sensitivity and margin execution. Pick your side (🐂 Bull or 🐻 Bear) and drop your price target below.
Everyone in here is repeating the bull case on FUN, but look at what you are paying: current EV/EBITDA multiples with 91.3% gross margins. Unless Six Flags Entertainment Corporation expands free cash flow yield next quarter, I would rather wait for a pullback closer to the 200-day moving average before touching this.
Looking at the 5-pillar RQD breakdown on FUN, the market is fixating on short-term headline noise in Services-Misc. Amusement & Recreation and ignoring the balance sheet and cash flow trajectory. At $7.68 (52-wk range $6.60 - $26.28), any beat on forward guidance forces shorts and underweight funds to chase.
